Alpelisib--Anyone on this?

Postby hopefulandstrong » Mon Sep 16, 2019 8:21 am

Alpelisib is a relatively new treatment, which has gotten lots of positive press for its effectiveness with breast cancer. It seems to also have some efficacy in concert with BRAF inhibitors for folks who have both the BRAF and PIK3 mutation. Wondering if anyone here has any experience.

Thanks so much!

1/8/19 DS Stage 4 with Liver Mets; Successful Colon Resect
2/18/19 Started Folfox -- CEA 70
5/8/19 - BRAF mutation -- switch to Triplet Therapy: Encorafenib, Binimetinib, Cetximab
6/13/19 - CEA dropped from 214 to 22
8/29 - CEA jump to 30-- scans reveal liver spread, though still confined. triplet therapy abandoned; some concern about PIC3 mutation interfering with BRAF treatment
9/1 - 10/4 -- no treatment
10/4 -- folfoxfiri to stem further progression; pump placement in January (hopefully)
