What it is for

  • Itovebi, in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant, is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with PIK3CA-mutated, oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, following recurrence on or within 12 months of completing adjuvant endocrine treatment (see section 5.1). Patients previously treated with a CDK 4/6 inhibitor in the (neo)adjuvant setting should have had an interval of at least 12 months between termination of CDK 4/6 inhibitor treatment and the detection of recurrence. In pre/perimenopausal women and in men, endocrine therapy should be combined with a luteinising hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist.

How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Itovebi). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Inavolisib is an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) with inhibitory activity predominantly against PI3Kα.

In vitro, inavolisib induced the degradation of mutated PI3K catalytic alpha subunit p110α (encoded by the PIK3CA gene), inhibited phosphorylation of the downstream target AKT, reduced cellular proliferation, and induced apoptosis in PIK3CA -mutated breast cancer cell lines.

The shape is a standard model drawn from the two times above, not a measurement. How fast a medicine acts and wears off also depends on the dose, the form and the person.
How the body breaks it down

Inavolisib is primarily metabolized by hydrolysis.

With food

Effect of Food No clinically significant differences in inavolisib pharmacokinetics were observed following administration of inavolisib with a high-fat meal (approximately 1,000 calories, 50% fat).
