Inavolisib plus palbociclib-fulvestrant has shown synergistic activity in preclinical models and promising antitumor activity in early-phase trials.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>In a phase 3, double-blind, randomized trial, we compared first-line inavolisib (at an oral dose of 9 mg once daily) plus palbociclib-fulvestrant (inavolisib group) with placebo plus palbociclib-fulvestrant (placebo group) in patients with <i>PIK3CA</i>-mutated, hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who had had relapse during or within 12 months after the completion of adjuvant endocrine therapy.
