Celcuity Inc Submits Supplemental New Drug Application to Fda for Revtorpyk (Gedatolisib) for Hr+/Her2-, Pik3ca Mutant Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer
Celcuity Inc. issued a press release announcing the submission of its supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for REVTORPYK (gedatolisib) for the treatment of patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-), locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (ABC) with a PIK3CA mutation, following progression on or after treatment with at least one line of endocrine therapy. If approved, REVTORPYK would be the first and only therapy for advanced breast cancer with a PIK3CA mutation that inhibits all class I PI3K isoforms (,,) and mTOR complexes mTORC1 and mTORC2. The application to the FDA is supported by positive results from the PIK3CA mutant cohort of the Phase 3 VIKTORIA-1 clinical trial. In the trial, REVTORPYK plus fulvestrant and palbociclib (the REVTORPYK-triplet) reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 50% versus alpelisib plus fulvestrant (HR=0.50; 95% CI: 0.37–0.68; p<0.0001). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 11.1 months with the REVTORPYK-triplet versus 5.6 months with alpelisib plus fulvestrant. REVTORPYK plus fulvestrant (the REVTORPYK-doublet) reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 49% versus alpelisib plus fulvestrant (HR=0.51; 95% CI: 0.33–0.79; descriptive p=0.0013). Median PFS was 11.3 months with the REVTORPYK-doublet versus 5.6 months with alpelisib plus fulvestrant. The REVTORPYK regimens demonstrated robust and durable responses: 49% objective response rate (ORR) and median duration of response (DOR) of 15.7 months for the REVTORPYK-triplet and 36% ORR and median DOR of 24.2 months for the REVTORPYK-doublet. The safety data for both regimens were generally consistent with previously reported data from the PIK3CA wild-type cohort of the Phase 3 VIKTORIA-1 trial. REVTORPYK in combination with fulvestrant, with or without palbociclib, was approved by the FDA on July 14, 2026, for the treatment of patients with HR+/HER2- ABC without a PIK3CA mutation detected following progression on or after treatment with at least one line of endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting. Breast cancer is the second most common cancer and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. More than two million breast cancer cases were diagnosed globally in 2022. While survival rates are high for those diagnosed with early breast cancer, only approximately 30% of patients who are diagnosed with or who progress to metastatic disease are expected to live five years after their diagnosis. HR+/HER2- breast cancer is the most common subtype of breast cancer, accounting for approximately 70% of all breast cancers. Among this breast cancer subtype, approximately 40% have PIK3CA mutations. VIKTORIA-1 is a Phase 3 open-label, randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of gedatolisib in combination with fulvestrant, with or without palbociclib, in adults with HR+/HER2- ABC whose disease progressed on or after prior CDK4/6 therapy in combination with an aromatase inhibitor. The trial enrolled 701 subjects regardless of PIK3CA status while enabling separate evaluation of subjects according to their PIK3CA status. Detailed results from the PIK3CA wild-type cohort of VIKTORIA-1 have been previously reported. For the PIK3CA mutant cohort, 350 subjects who met eligibility criteria and had confirmed PIK3CA mutations were randomly assigned (3:3:1) to receive a regimen of either the gedatolisib-triplet, alpelisib and fulvestrant, or the gedatolisib-doublet. REVTORPYK is a kinase inhibitor of class I PI3K isoforms (,,) and mTOR complexes mTORC1 and mTORC2, resulting in downstream inhibition of multiple effectors, including AKT. REVTORPYK is in development for the first-line treatment of HR+/HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer and for the second-line treatment of metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer. REVTORPYK (gedatolisib) is a kinase inhibitor indicated in combination with fulvestrant, with or without palbociclib, for the treatment of adult patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer without a PIK3CA mutation detected following progression on or after treatment with at least one line of endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting. REVTORPYK can cause severe stomatitis, including ulcers and oral mucositis. Stomatitis occurred in 72% of patients treated with REVTORPYK with fulvestrant and palbociclib, including Grade 3 events in 22% of patients. Stomatitis occurred in 58% of patients treated with REVTORPYK with fulvestrant, including Grade 3 events in 12% of patients. Initiate a steroid-containing, alcohol-free mouthwash prior to starting treatment with REVTORPYK and continue prophylactically during treatment. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of stomatitis. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue REVTORPYK based on severity. REVTORPYK can cause severe rash. Rash occurred in 30% of patients treated with REVTORPYK in combination with fulvestrant and palbociclib, including Grade 3 events in 6% of patients. Rash occurred in 40% of patients treated with REVTORPYK with fulvestrant, including 5% of patients with Grade 3 events. Monitor patients for rash and infectious sequelae. Instruct patients to limit sun exposure during REVTORPYK treatment. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue REVTORPYK based on severity. REVTORPYK can cause severe hyperglycemia. Monitor fasting glucose prior to initiating treatment with REVTORPYK and periodically during treatment. Monitor HbA1c level if clinically indicated. Increased fasting glucose occurred in 46% of patients receiving REVTORPYK in combination with fulvestrant and palbociclib (Grade 3: 0.9%) and in 57% of patients receiving REVTORPYK in combination with fulvestrant (Grade 3: 1.8%). The safety of REVTORPYK has not been established in patients with Type 1 or uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Patients with well-controlled Type 2 diabetes may require intensified antihyperglycemic therapy and close monitoring of fasting glucose. Manage hyperglycemia with antihyperglycemic medications as clinically indicated. Evaluate fasting blood glucose and HbA1c levels prior to starting and at regular intervals during treatment.
