Alpelisib Overview
-
Alpelisib (Piqray) is used in combination with fulvestrant (Faslodex) to treat a certain type of breast cancer that has spread to nearby tissues or other parts of the body in women who have already gone through menopause (''change of life,'' end of menstrual periods) or in men, whose cancer got worse during or after certain other treatments. Alpelisib (Vijoice) is used to treat adults and children 2 years of age or older who have certain types of PIK3CA Related Overgrowth Spectrum (PROS; a genetic condition that causes overgrowth and abnormalities in certain body tissues). Alpelisib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works to treat cancer by blocking the signals that cause cancer cells to multiply, which helps to stop the spread of cancer cells. It works to treast PROS by blocking the signals that cause overgrowth and abnormalities in certain body tissues, which reduces the size of the overgrowths and improves symptoms.
