Study Summary

This trial is testing the effects of copanlisib hydrochloride in patients with cancer that has a PIK3CA mutation. Copanlisib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking PIK3, a protein needed for cell growth.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for cancer patients with a specific genetic change called PIK3CA mutation. They must meet prior MATCH Protocol criteria, have certain blood cell counts and organ function levels, not use herbal medications or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, and agree to contraception. It's not for those with hypersensitivity to copanlisib, previous PI3K inhibitor treatments, activating KRAS mutations, HER2 positive breast cancer, heart rhythm issues or non-healing wounds.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the drug copanlisib hydrochloride on various cancers with the PIK3CA mutation. Copanlisib aims to halt cancer growth by inhibiting a protein essential for cell proliferation. The study involves biopsies and imaging like CT scans and MRIs to monitor effects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of copanlisib may include high blood sugar levels (especially in diabetics), liver enzyme changes indicating potential liver damage, digestive disturbances due to bilirubin fluctuations, fatigue from anemia (low hemoglobin), increased risk of infection from low neutrophil count (a type of white blood cell), bleeding risks associated with low platelets count.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (copanlisib)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive copanlisib IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo tumor biopsies at screening and end of treatment and CT or MRI at baseline, every 2 cycles for the first 26 cycles, and then every 3 cycles thereafter until progressive disease or start of another MATCH treatment step.
