Population studied

Short description of the study population

The study population will consist of patients from United States of America who have insulin-requiring diabetes and are in the nationwide Flatiron Health network and who have PIK3CA-mutated, HR+/HER2– metastatic breast cancer and are taking inavolisib-based regimens in the real world.

Age groups

  • Adult and elderly population (≥18 years)
    • Adults (18 to < 65 years)
      • Adults (18 to < 46 years)
      • Adults (46 to < 65 years)
    • Elderly (≥ 65 years)
      • Adults (65 to < 75 years)
      • Adults (75 to < 85 years)
      • Adults (85 years and over)

Study design details

Study design

Retrospective cohort study using secondary electronic health record (EHR) data from Flatiron Health network evaluating PIK3CA-mutated, HR+/HER2– metastatic breast cancer patients with insulin-requiring diabetes receiving inavolisib-based regimens over a 3 to 4-year study period.

Main study objective

The main objective of this study is to describe clinical and demographic characteristics of insulin-requiring patients who receive inavolisib-based regimens in the real world (e.g., inavolisib plus fulvestrant plus palbociclib, inavolisib plus fulvestrant plus ribociclib, inavolisib plus fulvestrant, etc), and to describe the safety and tolerability of inavolisib-based regimens as it relates to hyperglycemia and associated complications (including diabetic ketoacidosis).

Setting

Inclusion criteria:
• Diagnosed with breast cancer International Classification of Diseases-Ninth Revision (ICD-9) (174.x or 175.x) or ICD-Tenth Revision (ICD-10) (C50.xx)
• Diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer (mBC) on or after 11/1/24 (FDA approval of inavolisib on 10 October 2024)
• ≥18 years of age at mBC diagnosis.
• HR+/HER2– (includes HER2-low and HER2-equivocal)
• Type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients who receive insulin for at least 6 months prior to the index date
• Patients receiving an inavolisib-based regimen, abstracted from the EHR between 01 January 2026 and 31 December 2029 (allowing for up to 6 cycles of inavolisib to collect real word adverse events [rwAEs]).

Exclusion criteria:
• Patients with diabetes and end organ damage (clinician notes for diabetic kidney disease, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic circulatory complications, diabetic foot ulcers)
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score = 3+
• Inavolisib-based regimens in 4L or later

Outcomes

Primary
(1) Time to first diagnosis(es) of hyperglycemia following initiation of inavolisib therapy
(2) Proportion of participants with hyperglycemia
(3) Severity of hyperglycemia as assessed by date and discharge diagnosis of hospitalizations
(4) Severity of hyperglycemia as assessed by date and results from laboratory tests (e.g., HbA1c and glucose)
(5) Proportion of participants with complications from hyperglycemia
(6) Proportion of participants who require management of hyperglycemia by changes in inavolisib dose, duration, discontinuations and holds along with concomitant medications.

Secondary
(7) Time to first diagnosis of stomatitis following initiation of inavolisib therapy
(8) Proportion of participants who require management of stomatitis by changes in inavolisib dose, duration, discontinuations and holds; and dates of concomitant medications.
(9) Time to first instance/diagnosis of diarrhea following initiation of inavolisib therapy
(10) Proportion of participants who require management of diarrhea by changes in inavolisib dose, duration, discontinuations and holds; and dates of concomitant medications

Data analysis plan

All analyses will be descriptive in nature and there are no statistical tests of hypotheses, nor time to event outcomes.

In the descriptive analyses, frequencies and percentages will be reported for categorical variables. Missing values will be described as a separate category. For proportions of participants with an observed rwAE, the analyses will be conducted in several ways, by including: 1) all participants at baseline (defined as the start of the inavolisib-based regimen); 2) participants who have at least 2 visits during the inavolisib-based regimen; 3) participants who are followed up (e.g., have health care visits) during the entire inavolisib-based regimen. Medians with interquartile range (IQR), means with standard deviation (SD), minimum values, and maximum values will be reported for continuous variables.

Sensitivity analyses accounting for starting dose of inavolisib, line of therapy, history of diabetes, duration of insulin use, and type of diabetes (type 1 versus type 2) will be conducted, as is feasible based on sample size.
