Gedatolisib Regimen Doubles Progression-Free Survival in Advanced Breast Cancer Trial
  • In the Phase 3 VIKTORIA-1 trial for HR+/HER2-, PIK3CA-mutant advanced breast cancer, the triplet regimen of gedatolisib plus palbociclib and fulvestrant cut progression-free survival (PFS) to a median of 11.1 months from 5.6 months with alpelisib plus fulvestrant, reducing the risk of progression or death by 50% (HR 0.50; P<.0001).

  • Celcuity disclosed detailed VIKTORIA-1 results for the PIK3CA-mutant cohort, highlighting gedatolisib in combination regimens and superiority over the single-target approach.

  • Gedatolisib, in both the triplet and the doublet regimens, demonstrated statistically significant PFS improvements versus alpelisib plus fulvestrant in HR+/HER2-, PIK3CA-mutant disease.

  • Limitations include that regulatory approval is not guaranteed and future safety and efficacy data could alter the outcomes.

  • The data reinforce gedatolisib’s multi-target PAM inhibition of PI3K/mTORC1/2, with potential to become a new standard of care pending regulatory approvals and ongoing sNDA submissions to the FDA and other authorities.

  • Results will be presented at ASCO 2026 in a late-breaking session, framing gedatolisib as a multitarget PAM inhibitor that outperforms alpelisib in this setting.

  • The press release casts these results as potentially establishing a new standard of care for post-CDK4/6 inhibitor and aromatase inhibitor–treated HR+/HER2-, PIK3CA-mutant ABC, with implications for both first-line and later-line contexts in VIKTORIA-2.

  • Safety data showed consistent tolerability with prior cohorts; discontinuation rates due to adverse events were low across gedatolisib regimens.

  • Across regimens, discontinuation due to adverse events was lower for gedatolisib (2.6% for triplet, 3.8% for doublet) than control (7.1%), with common Grade 3+ toxicities including neutropenia, stomatitis, rash, and hyperglycemia.

  • Gedatolisib’s safety profile appeared more favorable than alpelisib, with notably lower hyperglycemia and diarrhea rates.

  • Gedatolisib targets multiple PAM pathway components, including all four PI3K isoforms and mTORC1/2, aiming to overcome resistance seen with single-target inhibitors, and is positioned as a first-in-class or best-in-class option in this patient population.

  • In addition to PIK3CA-mutant disease, there is signal of activity in PIK3CA wild-type disease, suggesting broader potential of pan-PAM inhibition.
