Alpelisib and Immunotherapy: A Promising Combination for Recurrent and Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck
Background
Recurrent squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck (SCCHN) remains a formidable clinical challenge despite available treatments. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway has been identified as a potential therapeutic target, and alpelisib, a selective PI3Kα inhibitor, has demonstrated efficacy in certain malignancies. Combining this targeted therapy with immunotherapy has been suggested in previous studies as a promising strategy to bolster the immune response against cancer.
Cases
A 69-year-old woman with locoregional recurrence of PIK3CA-mutated SCC of the left maxilla and cervical nodal metastases. Several chemotherapeutic regimens, including cisplatin, docetaxel, 5FU, chemoradiotherapy, and mono-immunotherapy, resulted in disease progression. Alpelisib combined with pembrolizumab led to a sustained response for 9 months. A 58-year-old man with recurrent metastatic PIK3CA-mutated SCC of the oropharynx, involving the left lung, hilar, and mediastinal lymph nodes. Despite prior palliative radiation and platinum-based chemotherapy with pembrolizumab and cetuximab, treatment with alpelisib and nivolumab resulted in a partial response. Severe hyperglycemia and rash led to treatment discontinuation.
Conclusion
Our findings highlight the potential of this innovative therapeutic combination, suggesting a need for further investigations in this setting.
