Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

Participants meeting any of the following criteria are not eligible for inclusion in this study:

  1. Patient previously treated with alpelisib

  2. Known impairment of GI function due to concomitant disease that may significantlyalter the absorption of the study drug (e.g., ulcerative diseases, uncontrollednausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel resection) attime of informed consent.

  3. Participant with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (Type I or II) at time of informedconsent.

  4. History of hypersensitivity to any drugs or metabolites of PI3K inhibitor or any ofthe excipients of alpelisib at time of informed consent.

  5. Participant with other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions thatwould, in the treating Physician's judgment, contraindicate administration ofalpelisib (e.g., active and/or uncontrolled severe infection, chronic activehepatitis, hepatic impairment Child Pugh score C, immuno-compromised, etc.) at timeof informed consent.

  6. Female participants of childbearing potential and male participants who do not agreeat time of informed consent to abstinence or, if sexually active, unwilling to use acondom and/or a highly effective method of contraception for the duration of thestudy and for one week following discontinuation of alpelisib. Highly effectivecontraception methods is one of the following:

  7. Total abstinence: when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyleof the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal,post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods ofcontraception

  8. Female sterilization: have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or withouthysterectomy), total hysterectomy or bilateral tubal ligation at least sixweeks before taking alpelisib. In case of oophorectomy alone, only when thereproductive status of the female has been confirmed by follow-up hormone levelassessment

  9. Male sterilization at least 6 months prior to screening. The vasectomized malepartner should be the sole partner for that study participant

  10. Use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception orplacement of an intrauterine device or intrauterine system or other forms ofhormonal contraception that have comparable efficacy (failure rate <1%), forexample hormone vaginal ring or transdermal hormone contraception If localregulations deviate from the contraception methods listed above to preventpregnancy, local regulations apply and will be described in the ICF.

Study Description

This study consists of a screening period up to 90 days, a first double-blind, placebo-controlled period of 6 months, followed by an open label period of alpelisib treatment, to reach a 24-month duration of treatment for all patients. The study will enroll 18-40 years old adults and 2-18 years old paediatric patients.

Eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio for the first period (alpelisib or placebo). A first assessment will be performed at 6 months. Patients completing this first period will enter the open label period, and either start alpelisib if they were on placebo, continue at the same dose if responders, or increase dose if not responders (dose increase only possible for children of 5 years old and over), and if no unacceptable toxicity occurs.

Patients will be followed monthly in local centres, and centrally assessed (clinical, biological, neuropsychological and functional evaluation) at baseline and every 6 months. Patients will be evaluated by volumetric MRI at baseline and at 24 months.

Participant may be discontinued from treatment with alpelisib earlier due to unacceptable toxicity, confirmed disease progression, death, and/or any other reason at the discretion of the investigator or the participant.
