On December 16, 2019, Dr. Peter Schmid and colleagues published the results of the PAKT Phase 2 clinical trial in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. The study evaluated the efficacy of Capivasertib, an AKT inhibitor, in combination with Paclitaxel as a first-line treatment for patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
Study Design: PAKT Trial
The trial randomized 140 patients with metastatic TNBC in a 1:1 ratio:
- Capivasertib Group (N=70): Capivasertib (400 mg twice daily, 4 days on/3 days off) + Paclitaxel (90 mg/m² on days 1, 8, 15 of a 28-day cycle).
- Placebo Group (N=70): Placebo + Paclitaxel.
The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoint was overall survival (OS).
Key Survival Results
Total Population
- Median PFS: 5.9 months for the Capivasertib group vs. 4.2 months for the placebo group (Hazard Ratio [HR] = 0.74).
- Median OS: 19.1 months (Capivasertib) vs. 12.6 months (Placebo) (HR = 0.61).
Patients with PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN Mutations (N=28)
In patients with specific genetic alterations in the PI3K/AKT/PTEN pathway, the benefit was even more pronounced:
- Median PFS: 9.3 months (Capivasertib) vs. 3.7 months (Placebo).
- Risk Reduction: A 70% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death (HR = 0.30).
Safety Profile
Common Grade 3 or higher adverse events in the Capivasertib group included diarrhea (13% vs. 1% in placebo), infection (4%), and rash/skin reactions (4%).
Conclusion
The PAKT trial concluded that the addition of Capivasertib to first-line Paclitaxel significantly improves both PFS and OS in patients with metastatic TNBC. The efficacy is notably higher in patients with alterations in the PIK3CA, AKT1, or PTEN genes, highlighting the potential for biomarker-driven therapy in TNBC.
