Abstract Text | In patients with refractory cancer, the effect of additional chemotherapy is very limited. Targeted agents for molecular pathways associated with cancer cell progression and survival have emerged as attractive options in several cancer types. The current pilot study assessed the efficacy and safety of sirolimus in patients with refractory cancer with PIK3CA mutation/amplification. Refractory cancer patients with PIK3CA mutation/amplification were enrolled, irrespective of tumor-types. Enrolled patients received a daily dose of 1 mg sirolimus and one cycle defined as 28 days. An assessment of the efficacy and safety of sirolimus was performed. Overall, 4 patients were enrolled between October 2014 and April 2015. The median of 2.5 cycles of sirolimus was administered. Three patients had advanced gastric cancer and one had advanced cholangiocarcinoma. The overall response rate was 0%, three patients (75%) had stable disease following one cycle and one patient (25%) received sirolimus for 4 cycles without disease progression. The median progression free survival was 1.9 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.3-3.5 months], and the median overall survival was 3.6 months (95% CI, 0.4-6.8 months). Grade 3 or greater hematologic/non-hematologic toxicity was not observed. Grade 1 nausea was reported in one patient each. There were no treatment-associated mortalities. Sirolimus had modest efficacy and a tolerable toxicity-profile in patients with refractory cancer with PIK3CA mutation/amplification. |

PIK3CA E542K PTEN loss | stomach cancer | unknown | Sirolimus | Phase 0 | Actionable | In a pilot clinical trial, Rapamune (sirolimus) demonstrated modest clinical activity in patients with PIK3CA-mutant gastric cancer (n=3) or hilar cholangiocarcinoma (n=1), including a gastric cancer patient harboring PIK3CA E542K and PTEN loss, with a 0% response rate, median progression-free survival of 1.9 months, and median overall survival of 3.6 months (PMID: 28685070). | 28685070 |
PIK3CA E545K PTEN loss | stomach cancer | unknown | Sirolimus | Phase 0 | Actionable | In a pilot clinical trial, Rapamune (sirolimus) demonstrated modest clinical activity in patients with PIK3CA-mutant gastric cancer (n=3) or hilar cholangiocarcinoma (n=1), including 2 gastric cancer patients harboring PIK3CA E545K and PTEN loss, with a 0% response rate, median progression-free survival of 1.9 months, and median overall survival of 3.6 months (PMID: 28685070). | 28685070 |
