Alpelisib (Piqray™)—an orally available phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor with specific activity against PI3K alpha (PI3Kα)—is being developed by Novartis for the treatment of breast cancer. Alpelisib has demonstrated efficacy in combination with fulvestrant as treatment for hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer in patients with a PIK3CA mutation and was recently approved for this indication in the USA. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of alpelisib leading to this first approval.
