CONTRADICTING EVIDENCE: ....patients harbouring mutated-PI3Kα exhibited a higher progressive disease rate (100% vs. 15%, p = .000053) and a lower objective response rate (81.7% vs. 95.4%, p = .0008) in response to trastuzumab-based therapy.... PIK3CA functional mutations suppressed the growth of HER2+ cells, but conferred anti-HER2 resistance, which can be reversed by the PI3Kα-specific inhibitor BYL719.
