PIQRAY Directly Targets the PI3K Pathway, Which May Help Overcome Endocrine Resistance1

  • PI3K inhibition with PIQRAY has been shown to induce an increase in estrogen receptor (ER) transcription in breast cancer cells1

  • PIQRAY inhibits the alpha isoform of PI3K 50 times more potently than other PI3K isoforms (β, γ, δ)2

 

PIQRAY is a nonchemotherapeutic α-selective PI3K inhibitor that works synergistically with fulvestrant across both the PI3K and ER pathways, respectively1
PIQRAY mechanism of action

Based on in vitro/in vivo studies. Preclinical activity does not necessarily correlate with clinical outcomes.
PI3Kα, α isoform of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase.

PIK3CA is a common driver mutation in HR+/HER2- aBC with effects that may be addressed with a targeted approach1,5
