  • Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy within 72 hours prior to registration.
  • WOCBP who are sexually active must use highly effective methods of contraception during treatment and for 28 days after the last dose of paxalisib. For male subjects with a pregnant or non-pregnant WOCBP partner, contraception measures are required during treatment and for 28 days after the last dose of paxalisib.
  • The subject, in consultation with the investigator, will select the most appropriate method of contraception from the permitted list of contraception methods, and site personnel will instruct the subject in its consistent and correct use as needed.
  • In addition, the investigator will instruct the subject to notify the site immediately if pregnancy of the subject or their partner is known or suspected.
  • Highly effective methods of contraception are those that, alone or in combination, result in a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly and include:
  • Established use of oral, injected, or implanted hormonal methods of contraception
  • Correctly placed intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS)
  • Male condom or female condom used WITH a spermicide (i.e., foam, gel, film, cream)

Those who are HBsAg positive or hepatitis B PCR positive will be excluded. Subjects who are hepatitis C antibody positive will need to have a negative PCR result to be eligible. Those who are hepatitis C PCR positive will be excluded.

The treatment

How it is intended to work

This is how the treatment is meant to work. Whether it helps, and how safe it is, is what this trial is testing.

paxalisib. A phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. paxalisib specifically inhibits PI3K in the PI3K/AKT kinase (or protein kinase B) signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting the activation of the PI3K signaling pathway. This may result in the inhibition of both cell growth and survival in susceptible tumor cell populations. Activation of the PI3K signaling pathway is frequently associated with tumorigenesis. Dysregulated PI3K signaling may contribute to tumor resistance to a variety of antineoplastic agents. NCI Drug Dictionary
