Trial Summary

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial requires that you stop using herbal medications at least 7 days before starting copanlisib. You also cannot be on strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 within two weeks before and during the study. If you are on anti-arrhythmic therapy, only digoxin or beta-blockers are allowed.

How is the drug Copanlisib unique in treating cancer?

Copanlisib is unique because it is an intravenous drug that targets the PI3K pathway, which is involved in cancer cell growth, and it has shown effectiveness in treating certain types of lymphoma and solid tumors. Unlike some other treatments, it specifically inhibits PI3K-α/δ, which may help overcome resistance mechanisms in cancer cells.12345

What is the purpose of this trial?

The phase II MATCH treatment trial tests how well copanlisib works to treat patients with cancer with PTEN loss. Copanlisib may stop the growth of tumor cells and may kill them by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Findings from Research

Copanlisib is effective in treating relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL), with an overall response rate of 57% and a complete response rate of 13% based on a meta-analysis of 652 patients across 8 studies.
Combination therapy with copanlisib and rituximab showed significantly higher efficacy compared to copanlisib alone, with complete response rates of 34% versus 6%, while treatment-related adverse events were manageable, with common side effects including hyperglycemia and hypertension.
