Deregulation of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) intracellular signaling pathway is common in breast cancer (BC) and has been found to be potentially implicated in resistance to endocrine and anti-HER2 therapies. Targeting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway may remove this inhibition and restore sensitivity to these compounds. Buparlisib (BKM120) is a potent oral pan-class I PI3K inhibitor that is being extensively evaluated in multiple tumor types.

Abstract

Deregulation of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) intracellular signaling pathway is common in breast cancer (BC) and has been found to be potentially implicated in resistance to endocrine and anti-HER2 therapies. Targeting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway may remove this inhibition and restore sensitivity to these compounds. Buparlisib (BKM120) is a potent oral pan-class I PI3K inhibitor that is being extensively evaluated in multiple tumor types.
