Study Summary

This trial studies the effectiveness of alpelisib in treating HPV-associated head and neck cancer. Alpelisib works by blocking enzymes needed for cell growth, which may stop the growth of tumor cells.

Eligible Conditions
  • Melanoma
  • Oropharyngeal Carcinoma

Timeline

Screening ~ 3 weeks
Treatment ~ Varies
Follow Up ~up to 3 years
This trial's timeline: 3 weeks for screening, Varies for treatment, and up to 3 years for reporting.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Difference in quantitative change in tumor size (change in T) in patients with genomic PIK3CA pathway alteration (PIK3CA mutation, amplification, and fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH] for PTEN loss)
Quantitative change in the sum of Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) - measurable index lesions on paired, pre-and post-treatment computed tomography scans (delta change in T)
Secondary outcome measures
Changes in pre- and post-treatment tumor levels of E6 and E7 oncoproteins
Changes in pre- and post-treatment tumor levels of HER3/PI3K dimers (monogram)
Changes in pre- and post-treatment tumor levels of Phospho - human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3)
