The HCC1954 and KPL4 cells were exposed to alpelisib or to alpelisib + trastuzumab to generate derivatives with acquired resistance to alpelisib (AR) and to alpelisib + trastuzumab (ATR)….Alpelisib treatment resulted in dose-dependent inhibition of the growth of cells and enhanced the antitumor efficacy of anti-HER2 therapies in vitro. Alpelisib delayed tumor growth of HCC1954 xenografts in vivo....Our findings support the use of alfa-selective PI3K inhibitor to overcome therapeutic limitations associated with HER2 blockade in PIK3CA-mutant HER2+ BC.
