Gedatolisib sNDA Submitted to FDA in PIK3CA-Mutant Advanced Breast Cancer

Celcuity seeks FDA expansion for gedatolisib combos in PIK3CA-mutant HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer, after VIKTORIA-1 shows longer PFS than alpelisib.

Celcuity Inc has submitted a supplemental new drug application (sNDA) to the FDA for gedatolisib (Revtorpyk) in combination with fulvestrant (Faslodex), with or without palbociclib (Ibrance), for patients with hormone receptor–positive (HR+)/HER2-negative (–), PIK3CA-mutant, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer whose disease has progressed on or after at least 1 line of endocrine therapy.1

The application is supported by results from the PIK3CA-mutant cohort of the phase 3 VIKTORIA-1 trial (NCT05501886), an open-label, randomized study comparing gedatolisib plus fulvestrant, with or without palbociclib, with alpelisib (Piqray) plus fulvestrant in patients with HR+/HER2– advanced breast cancer whose disease progressed on or after a CDK4/6 inhibitor plus an aromatase inhibitor.1,2 The cohort randomly assigned 350 patients with confirmed PIK3CA mutations 3:3:1 to the gedatolisib triplet (gedatolisib plus fulvestrant plus palbociclib), alpelisib plus fulvestrant, or the gedatolisib doublet (gedatolisib plus fulvestrant).1

Efficacy and Safety Findings

The gedatolisib triplet reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 50% vs alpelisib plus fulvestrant (HR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.37-0.68; P< .0001), with a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 11.1 months vs 5.6 months. The gedatolisib doublet reduced the risk of progression or death by 49% vs alpelisib plus fulvestrant (HR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.33-0.79; descriptive P = .0013), with a median PFS of 11.3 months vs 5.6 months. Objective response rate was 49% with the triplet, with a median duration of response of 15.7 months, and 36% with the doublet, with a median duration of response of 24.2 months.1 Safety with both regimens was generally consistent with previously reported findings from the PIK3CA wild-type cohort of VIKTORIA-1.

"This submission allows us to potentially make [gedatolisib] available to all patients with HR+/HER2– locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, regardless of PIK3CA mutation status. In the PIK3CA mutant cohort of the VIKTORIA-1 trial, [gedatolisib] demonstrated compelling safety and efficacy results. Pending regulatory approval, we believe [gedatolisbi] as the potential to become an important treatment option in this indication,” said Igor Gorbatchevsky, MD, chief medical officer of Celcuity, in a news release.

Prior FDA Approval

Gedatolisib in combination with fulvestrant, with or without palbociclib, was approved by the FDA on July 14, 2026, for patients with HR+/HER2– locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer without a PIK3CA mutation, following progression on or after at least 1 line of endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting. That approval was based on the PIK3CA wild-type cohort of VIKTORIA-1.

About Gedatolisib

Gedatolisib is a kinase inhibitor of class I PI3K isoforms (α, β, δ, γ) and mTOR complexes mTORC1 and mTORC2, resulting in downstream inhibition of multiple effectors, including AKT. It is also in development for first-line treatment of HR+/HER2– advanced breast cancer and for second-line treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Clinical Development Programs

VIKTORIA-2 (NCT06757634), an ongoing phase 3 trial, is evaluating gedatolisib plus palbociclib plus fulvestrant as first-line treatment for patients with endocrine-resistant HR+/HER2– advanced breast cancer (study 1) and gedatolisib plus palbociclib plus letrozole as first-line treatment for patients with endocrine-sensitive disease (study 2). A phase 1/2 trial, CELC-G-201 (NCT0619089), evaluating gedatolisib in combination with darolutamide (Nubeqa) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, is also ongoing.
