Clinical
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 adults 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 th...

Availability & generic status
We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.
Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Patent
- Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Substance patent
- Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
- Formulation (product) patent
- Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
- Method-of-use patent
- A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
- Skinny label
- A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
- Exclusivity
- FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
- Paragraph IV
- A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
- RLD / RS
- Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
- TE / AB rating
- FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
- LOE (loss of exclusivity)
- The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.
Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in the labeling: Severe Hypersensitivity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] Hyperglycemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] Pneumonitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)] Diarrhea or Colitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)] Most common adverse reactions (Grades 1 to 4, incidence ≥ 10%) were diarrhea, stomatitis, and hyperglycemia. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation at 1-888-669-6682 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch .
6.1Clinical Trial Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The safety of VIJOICE was evaluated in EPIK-P1 (NCT04285723), a single-arm clinical study in patients who were treated as part of an expanded access program for compassionate use. Fifty-seven patients 2 years of age and older with severe or life-threatening PIK3CA-Related Overgrowth Spectrum (PROS) received VIJOICE based on age at dosages ranging from 50 mg to 250 mg orally once daily [see Clinical Studies (14)] .
Among patients who received VIJOICE, 95% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 79% were exposed for greater than one year. The median age of patients who received VIJOICE was 14 years (range, 2 to 50); 58% were female; 12% were White and race was not reported for 88%. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 12% of patients who received VIJOICE.
Serious adverse reactions occurring in two or more patients included dehydration (n = 2) and cellulitis (n = 2). Dosage interruption of VIJOICE due to an adverse reaction occurred in 11% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in two or more patients included dizziness (n = 2) and vomiting (n = 2).
Dose reductions of VIJOICE due to an adverse reaction occurred in 5% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose reduction included alopecia, memory impairment, and soft tissue infection. The most common adverse reactions (≥ 10%) were diarrhea, stomatitis, and hyperglycemia.
The most common Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥ 2%) were increased glucose, decreased hemoglobin, decreased phosphate, increased bilirubin, decreased sodium, and decreased platelets. Adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities are listed in Table 10 and Table 11, respectively.

🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS CYP3A4 Inducers : Avoid coadministration of VIJOICE with a strong CYP3A4 inducer. Consider an alternative concomitant drug with no or minimal potential to induce CYP3A4. ( 7.1 ) Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) Inhibitors : Avoid the use of BCRP inhibitors in patients treated with VIJOICE. If unable to use alternative drugs, closely monitor for increased adverse reactions. ( 7.1 )
7.1Effect of Other Drugs on VIJOICE CYP3A4 Inducers Avoid coadministration of VIJOICE with strong CYP3A4 inducers and consider an alternative concomitant drug with no or minimal potential to induce CYP3A4. Alpelisib is metabolized by CYP3A4. Concomitant use of VIJOICE with a strong CYP3A4 inducer may decrease alpelisib concentration [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] , which may decrease alpelisib activity.
Breast Cancer Resistance Protein Inhibitors (BCRP) Avoid the use of BCRP inhibitors in patients treated with VIJOICE. If unable to use alternative drugs, when VIJOICE is used in combination with BCRP inhibitors, closely monitor for increased adverse reactions. Alpelisib is transported by BCRP.
Concomitant use of VIJOICE with a BCRP inhibitor may increase alpelisib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions.
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation : Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 )
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on animal data and mechanism of action, VIJOICE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)] . There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of alpelisib to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis caused adverse developmental outcomes, including embryo-fetal mortality (post-implantation loss), reduced fetal weights, and increased incidences of fetal malformations at doses described below ( see Data ).
Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. However, the estimated background risk of major birth defects is 2% to 4% and of miscarriage is 15% to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies in the U.S. general population.
Data Animal Data In embryo-fetal development studies in rats and rabbits, pregnant animals received oral doses of alpelisib during the period of organogenesis. In the rat study, animals were dosed at 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg/day from gestation day 6 to 17; and in the rabbit study, animals were dosed at 3, 15, 25, and 30 mg/kg/day from gestation day 7 to 20. In rats, oral administration of alpelisib resulted in maternal toxicity (body weight loss, low food consumption) and no viable fetuses (post-implantation loss) at 30 mg/kg/day (approximately 3.6 to 1.2 times the initial recommended doses of 50 mg and 250 mg in pediatric and adult patients, respectively, based on BSA).
At a dose of 10 mg/kg/day (approximately 1.2 to 0.4 times the initial recommended doses of 50 mg and 250 mg in pediatric and adult patients, respectively, based on BSA), toxicities included reduced fetal weight and increased incidences of skeletal malformations (bent scapula and thickened or bent long bones) and fetal variations (enlarged brain ventricle, decreased bone ossification). In a pilot embryo-fetal development study in rabbits, a dose of 30 mg/kg/day (approximately 7 to 2.2 times the initial recommended doses of 50 mg and 250 mg in pediatric and adult patients based on BSA) resulted in no viable fetuses (post-implantation loss).
Doses ≥ 15 mg/kg/day (approximately 3.5 to 1.1 times the initial recommended doses of 50 mg and 250 mg in pediatric and adult patients, respectively, based on BSA) resulted in increased embryo-fetal deaths, reduced fetal weights, and malformations, mostly related to the tail and head.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of alpelisib in human milk, its effects on milk production, or the breastfed child. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed child, advise lactating women to not breastfeed during treatment with VIJOICE and for 1 week after the last dose.
8.3Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Pregnancy Testing Verify the pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating VIJOICE. Contraception Females VIJOICE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)] .

🤰 Pregnancy ▾
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on animal data and mechanism of action, VIJOICE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)] . There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of alpelisib to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis caused adverse developmental outcomes, including embryo-fetal mortality (post-implantation loss), reduced fetal weights, and increased incidences of fetal malformations at doses described below ( see Data ).
Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. However, the estimated background risk of major birth defects is 2% to 4% and of miscarriage is 15% to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies in the U.S. general population.
Data Animal Data In embryo-fetal development studies in rats and rabbits, pregnant animals received oral doses of alpelisib during the period of organogenesis. In the rat study, animals were dosed at 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg/day from gestation day 6 to 17; and in the rabbit study, animals were dosed at 3, 15, 25, and 30 mg/kg/day from gestation day 7 to 20. In rats, oral administration of alpelisib resulted in maternal toxicity (body weight loss, low food consumption) and no viable fetuses (post-implantation loss) at 30 mg/kg/day (approximately 3.6 to 1.2 times the initial recommended doses of 50 mg and 250 mg in pediatric and adult patients, respectively, based on BSA).
At a dose of 10 mg/kg/day (approximately 1.2 to 0.4 times the initial recommended doses of 50 mg and 250 mg in pediatric and adult patients, respectively, based on BSA), toxicities included reduced fetal weight and increased incidences of skeletal malformations (bent scapula and thickened or bent long bones) and fetal variations (enlarged brain ventricle, decreased bone ossification). In a pilot embryo-fetal development study in rabbits, a dose of 30 mg/kg/day (approximately 7 to 2.2 times the initial recommended doses of 50 mg and 250 mg in pediatric and adult patients based on BSA) resulted in no viable fetuses (post-implantation loss).
Doses ≥ 15 mg/kg/day (approximately 3.5 to 1.1 times the initial recommended doses of 50 mg and 250 mg in pediatric and adult patients, respectively, based on BSA) resulted in increased embryo-fetal deaths, reduced fetal weights, and malformations, mostly related to the tail and head.
🧒 Pediatric Use ▾
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of VIJOICE have been established in pediatric patients 2 to less than 18 years of age with PROS based on results from a single-arm clinical study of VIJOICE (EPIK-P1) that enrolled 39 pediatric patients: 11 patients aged 2 to 5 years, 12 patients aged 6 to 11 years, and 16 patients aged 12 to less than 18 years of age [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Studies (14)] . The safety and effectiveness of VIJOICE in pediatric patients below the age of 2 years have not been established.
Although there were no new safety signals observed in pediatric patients, there is insufficient data to determine whether VIJOICE has an adverse impact on growth and development in pediatric patients with PROS. Based on the animal toxicity data (described below), regular monitoring of growth and development in pediatric patients treated with VIJOICE is recommended. Animal Toxicity Data In a 4-week general toxicology study, rats administered alpelisib had growth plate thickening and decreased trabeculae of the knee joint, dentin thinning, and degenerative odontoblasts at the dose of 30 mg/kg/day (approximately 2.8 to 1.2 times the initial recommended doses of 50 mg and 250 mg in pediatric and adult patients, respectively, based on BSA).
Dentin thinning/irregular dentin was also observed in the 13-week toxicology study in rats at the high dose of 20 mg/kg/day (approximately 2 to 0.8 times the initial recommended doses of 50 mg and 250 mg in pediatric and adult patients, respectively, based on BSA).
🧓 Geriatric Use ▾
8.5Geriatric Use There were no adult patients aged 65 years of age or older who received VIJOICE in EPIK-P1.
🆘 Overdosage ▾
10 OVERDOSAGE There is limited experience of overdose with alpelisib in clinical trials. In cases where accidental overdosage of alpelisib was reported in the clinical studies, the adverse reactions associated with the overdose were consistent with the known safety profile of alpelisib and included hyperglycemia, nausea, asthenia, and rash. Initiate general symptomatic and supportive measures in all cases of overdosage where necessary.
There is no known antidote for VIJOICE.
🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Alpelisib is an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) with inhibitory activity predominantly against PI3Kα. Gain-of-function mutations in the gene encoding the catalytic α-subunit of PI3K (PIK3CA) lead to activation of PI3Kα and Akt-signaling, cellular transformation and the generation of tumors in in vitro and in vivo models. Activating mutations in PIK3CA have been found to induce a spectrum of overgrowths and malformations comprising a wide group of clinically recognizable disorders commonly known as PROS.
In an inducible mouse model of Congenital Lipomatous Overgrowth, Vascular Malformations, Epidermal Nevi, Scoliosis/Skeletal and Spinal syndrome (CLOVES), a phenotype of PROS, alpelisib inhibition of the PI3K pathway resulted in the prevention or improvement of organ abnormalities associated with the disease, depending on when alpelisib treatment was started. These findings were reversed after withdrawal of alpelisib.
12.2Pharmacodynamics The exposure-response relationship and time course of pharmacodynamic response for the safety and effectiveness of VIJOICE have not been characterized. Cardiac Electrophysiology At a dose of 300 mg, alpelisib does not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent in the oncology setting. VIJOICE is not approved for use in the oncology setting.
12.3Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of alpelisib has been studied in healthy subjects and adult patients with solid tumors and are presented as mean (% CV) under fed conditions unless otherwise specified. Alpelisib maximum plasma concentration (C max ) was 277 ng/mL (24%) and area under the curve (AUC) was 2,090 hr*ng/mL (24%) following administration of a single 50 mg dose of VIJOICE. Steady state alpelisib C max and AUC increased proportionally over the dose range of 30 mg (0.6 times the lowest approved recommended dosage) to 450 mg (1.8 times the highest approved recommended dosage) under fed conditions.
The mean accumulation of alpelisib was 1.3 to 1.5 and steady state plasma concentrations were reached within 3 days following daily dosage. Absorption The median time to reach peak plasma concentration (T max ) ranged between 2.0 to 4.0 hours. Effect of Food A high-fat high-calorie (HFHC) meal (985 calories with 58.1 g of fat) increased alpelisib AUC by 73% and C max by 84%, and a low-fat low-calorie (LFLC) meal (334 calories with 8.7 g of fat) increased alpelisib AUC by 77% and C max by 145% following administration of a single 300 mg dose of alpelisib as tablets.
No clinically relevant differences in alpelisib AUC were observed between LFLC and HFHC meals. No clinically relevant food effect on alpelisib pharmacokinetics was observed after a single 50 mg oral dose of VIJOICE as granules taken with a LFLC meal as compared to that taken under fasted conditions. No clinically relevant differences in alpelisib C max and AUC were observed following administration of a single 50 mg dose of VIJOICE as granules or tablets taken with a LFLC meal.
Distribution The apparent volume of distribution of alpelisib at steady state is 114 L (46%). Protein binding of alpelisib is 89% and is independent of concentration. Elimination The half-life of alpelisib is predicted to be 8 to 9 hours.
The clearance of alpelisib is
9.2L/hr (21%) under fed conditions. Metabolism Alpelisib is primarily metabolized by chemical and enzymatic hydrolysis to form its metabolite BZG791 and followed by CYP3A4 mediated hydroxylation. Excretion Following a single oral dose of 400 mg (1.6 times the highest approved recommended dosage) radiolabeled alpelisib under fasted condition, 81% of the administered dose was recovered in feces (36% unchanged) and 14% (2% unchanged) in urine.
CYP3A4-mediated metabolites (12%) and glucuronides amounted to approximately 15% of the dose. Specific Populations No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of alpelisib were predicted based on age (21 to 87 ye… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

🔬 Clinical Studies ▾
14 CLINICAL STUDIES The efficacy of VIJOICE was assessed in EPIK-P1 (NCT04285723), a single-arm clinical study in patients who were treated as part of an expanded access program for compassionate use which enrolled patients across seven sites in five countries (France, Spain, US, Ireland, and Australia). Eligible patients 2 years of age and older with PIK3CA-Related Overgrowth Spectrum (PROS) who received VIJOICE had clinical manifestations of PROS that were assessed by the treating physician as severe or life-threatening and necessitating systemic treatment and had documented evidence of mutation in the PIK3CA gene.
Patients received VIJOICE at dosages based on age ranging from 50 mg to 250 mg orally once daily. The efficacy of VIJOICE was evaluated in a total of 37 patients with at least one target lesion identified on imaging performed within 24 weeks prior to receipt of the first dose of VIJOICE. The median age of patients was 14 years (range: 2 to 38); 22% of patients were 2 to 5 years, 22% were 6 to 11 years, 27% were 12 to less than 18 years of age, and 30% were ≥ 18 years; 57% were female, 11% were White and race was not reported for 89%.
Ninety-two percent of patients had congenital overgrowth and 8% had early childhood-onset. Patients had heterogeneous manifestations of PROS, including CLOVES (81%), Megalencephaly-Capillary Malformation Polymicrogyria (MCAP; 8%), Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS; 2.7%), Facial Infiltrating Lipomatosis (FIL; 8%), and Other (5%). Five percent (5%) of patients had concurrent manifestations of CLOVES and MCAP.
The major efficacy outcome measure for the study was the proportion of patients with radiological response at Week 24 as determined by blinded independent central review (BICR), defined as a ≥ 20% reduction from baseline in the sum of measurable target lesion volume (1 to 3 lesions) confirmed by at least one subsequent imaging assessment, in the absence of a ≥ 20% increase from baseline in any target lesion, progression of non-target lesions, or appearance of a new lesion. An additional efficacy outcome measure was duration of response, defined as the time from the first documented response to the date of the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause.
Efficacy results are presented in Table 12.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Alpelisib was not carcinogenic in a 2-year carcinogenicity study conducted in rats when administered by daily oral gavage at doses up to 4 mg/kg (approximately 0.5 to 0.2 times the initial recommended doses of 50 mg and 250 mg in pediatric and adult patients, respectively, based on BSA). Alpelisib was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay, or aneugenic or clastogenic in human cell micronucleus and chromosome aberration tests. Alpelisib was not genotoxic in an in vivo rat micronucleus test.
In a fertility and early embryonic development study in rats, female animals were administered alpelisib doses of 3, 10, and 20 mg/kg/day orally. Animals were dosed for 4-weeks prior to pairing, during the mating period, and up to Gestation Day 6. At the dose of 20 mg/kg/day, alpelisib increased pre- and post-implantation losses, leading to reduced numbers of implantation sites and live embryos.
These findings were observed at doses approximately 2.4 to 0.8 times the initial recommended doses of 50 mg and 250 mg in pediatric and adult patients, respectively, based on body surface areas (BSA). In a repeated-dose toxicity study in rats, adverse effects in female reproductive organs included vaginal atrophy and estrous cycle variations in rats at doses ≥ 6 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.7 to 0.2 times the initial recommended doses of 50 mg and 250 mg in pediatric and adult patients, respectively, based on BSA). In a male fertility study, alpelisib administered orally at doses of 3, 10 and 20 mg/kg/day for up to 99 days (10-weeks prior to pairing, during mating period and continuing during post-pairing) to male rats, resulted in reduced weights of seminal vesicles and prostate, which correlated with atrophy and/or reduced secretion in prostate and seminal vesicles at ≥ 10 mg/kg/day (approximately 1.2 to 0.4 times the initial recommended doses of 50 mg and 250 mg in pediatric and adult patients, respectively, based on BSA).
No adverse effects on male fertility parameters were observed at doses up to 20 mg/kg/day.
