  • Poster presentation details and abstract highlights include:
    Fulvestrant, the selective estrogen receptor degrader and PI3K inhibitors, such as alpelisib, have demonstrated efficacy in patients with HR+ PI3K-mutated breast cancer; however, resistance still occurs
    These data further support the combination of nab-sirolimus with endocrine therapy for hormone-driven cancers, as is currently being investigated in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrioid endometrial cancer in a Phase 2 study (NCT05997017)
    Corresponding with greater antitumor activity, nab-sirolimus was associated with higher intratumoral drug concentration and stronger mTOR target suppression than everolimus when the agents were combined with KRAS G12C inhibitors
