ER+, HER2- advanced breast cancer treated with taselisib and fulvestrant: genomic landscape and associated clinical outcomes.
Article in Molecular oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Taselisib is a potent β-sparing phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor that, with endocrine therapy, improves outcomes in phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA)-mutated (PIK3CAmut) advanced breast cancer. To understand alterations associated with response to PI3K inhibition, we analysed circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) from participants enrolled in the SANDPIPER trial. Participants were designated as either PIK3CAmut or PIK3CA no mutation was detected (NMD) per baseline ctDNA. The top mutated genes and tumour fraction estimates identified were analysed for their association with outcomes. In participants with PIK3CAmut ctDNA treated with taselisib + fulvestrant, tumour protein p53 (TP53; encoding p53) and fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) alterations were associated with shorter progression-free survival (PFS) compared to participants with NMD in these genes. Conversely, participants with PIK3CAmut ctDNA harbouring a neurofibromin 1 (NF1) alteration or high baseline tumour fraction estimate experienced improved PFS upon treatment with taselisib + fulvestrant compared to placebo + fulvestrant. Broadly, alterations in oestrogen receptor (ER), PI3K and p53 pathway genes were associated with resistance to taselisib + fulvestrant in participants with PIK3CAmut ctDNA. Altogether, we demonstrated the impact of genomic (co-)alterations on outcomes with one of the largest clinico-genomic datasets of ER+, HER2-, PIK3CAmut breast cancer patients treated with a PI3K inhibitor.
