In November 2023, capivasertib was approved in the United States for people with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative breast cancer when used in combination with fulvestrant.[8][9][10] The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it to be a first-in-class medication.[11]

Medical uses

edit

Capivasertib, used in combination with fulvestrant (Faslodex), is indicated for adults with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer with one or more PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-alterations, as detected by an FDA-approved test, following progression on at least one endocrine-based regimen in the metastatic setting or recurrence on or within twelve months of completing adjuvant therapy.[4][8]

History

edit

Efficacy was evaluated in CAPItello-291 (NCT04305496), a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial in 708 participants with locally advanced or metastatic HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, of which 289 participants had tumors with PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-alterations.[8] All participants were required to have progression on aromatase inhibitor-based treatment.[8] Participants could have received up to two prior lines of endocrine therapy and up to one line of chemotherapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease.[8]

Society and culture

edit
edit

Capivasertib was approved for medical use in the United States in November 2023.[8] The FDA granted the application for capivasertib fast track designation.[11]

In April 2024, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency adopted a positive opinion, recommending the granting of a marketing authorization for the medicinal product Truqap, intended for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer with one or more PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations.[5][12] The applicant for this medicinal product is AstraZeneca AB.[5] Capivasertib was approved for medical use in the European Union in June 2024.[5][6]
