Clinical trials overview
These studies are testing RLY-2608 in two different disease areas: PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum and malformations, and PIK3CA-mutated hormone-receptor positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer.[1][2]
Both trials are listed as authorised, which means they have approval to run.[1][2] One study is Phase 2 and the other is Phase 3.[1][2]
Phase 2 study in PIK3CA-related overgrowth and malformations
The Phase 2 study, NCT06789913, is titled RLY-2608-201-Ph2 Study of RLY-2608 in PROS and PIK3CA Driven Malformations.[1] It is an interventional trial, which means participants receive a study treatment and the researchers observe the results.[1]
This study includes 347 participants and is looking at people with PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum and malformations driven by a PIK3CA mutation.[1] The brief summary says Parts 1 and 2 aim to find the recommended Phase 2 dose for Groups 1, 2, and 3 and to check safety and tolerability.[1]
In Part 3, the study compares RLY-2608 with placebo and looks at volumetric response rate at Week 24.[1] A placebo is a treatment with no active study drug, used as a comparison.[1]
Phase 3 study in advanced breast cancer
The Phase 3 study, NCT06982521, is comparing RLY-2608 plus fulvestrant with capivasertib plus fulvestrant in people with PIK3CA-mutated, hormone-receptor positive, HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.[2]
This is a larger trial with 540 participants and is also interventional.[2] The study is designed to compare how well the treatments work, using progression-free survival as the main outcome.[2]
Progression-free survival means the time from randomization until the cancer gets worse on scans, or the person dies from any cause.[2] The summary says the trial will compare efficacy in the overall group and in kinase populations by BICR, which means blinded independent central review.[2]
How the trials measure results
The Phase 2 study measures safety profile by looking at dose-limiting toxicities, side effects, serious side effects, vital signs, ECGs, and safety laboratory tests.[1] A dose-limiting toxicity is a side effect that may stop a dose from being used as planned.[1]
The same study also measures whether the affected tissue changes in size, using volumetric response at Week 24.[1] This is important in overgrowth conditions because the size of the affected area is part of the disease burden.[1]
The Phase 3 breast cancer study uses RECIST v1.1 for checking radiographic progression, which means cancer growth seen on imaging scans.[2] The main question is whether RLY-2608 plus fulvestrant can delay progression better than the comparison treatment.[2]
Who may take part
People may be considered for the Phase 2 study if they have PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum or PIK3CA-driven malformations.[1] The study title and summary show that the trial is focused on these mutation-driven overgrowth conditions.[1]
People may be considered for the Phase 3 study if they have PIK3CA-mutated HR+/HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.[2] The trial is built for a specific cancer group, so not every person with breast cancer would match the study.[2]
Key patient terms
Interventional study means the research team gives a treatment and watches what happens.[1][2]
Randomization means participants are assigned to treatment groups by chance, which helps make the comparison fair.[2]
Fulvestrant is part of the breast cancer study treatment plan, and the trial compares it with another treatment combination.[2]
Placebo is used in the Phase 2 overgrowth study as a comparison with the active study drug in Part 3.[1]
