Abstract

Abstract Background HR+/HER2- BC is the most common BC subtype, and adjuvant endocrine therapies (ET) are an integral part of its management; however, ~30% of patients still relapse. Development of ET resistance remains a challenge in HR+/HER2- BC; aberrant phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling contributes to ET resistance and PIK3CA mutations occur in ~40% of HR+/HER2- BCs. Current research has led to the development of new targeted therapies, including CDK4/6 inhibitors and PI3K inhibitors (alpelisib). Preclinical models have demonstrated synergy between CDK4/6 inhibitors and PI3K inhibitors, with PI3K inhibitors blocking CDK4/6 inhibitor resistance devel..
