Study Update summary
21 Jan, 2026Key study results
RLY-2608 plus fulvestrant achieved a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 9.2 months in heavily pretreated, HR-positive, HER2-negative, PIK3CA-mutated breast cancer patients, outperforming the 5.5–5.6 months seen with capivasertib and alpelisib in similar populations.
Objective response rate (ORR) was 33% and clinical benefit rate (CBR) was 57%, with tumor reduction observed in 73% of patients and robust ctDNA clearance across mutation subtypes.
In patients with kinase domain mutations, mPFS reached 10.3 months and ORR was 53%.
97% of patients showed a decline in PIK3CA ctDNA, with 54% achieving complete clearance by cycle 2 day 1.
Efficacy and safety were consistent across kinase and non-kinase domain PIK3CA mutations, supporting broad inclusion in future pivotal trials.
Safety and tolerability profile
Only 25% of patients at the recommended Phase II dose experienced Grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), with no Grade 4/5 events and a single Grade 3 hyperglycemia case, indicating a favorable safety profile.
Most common TRAEs included hyperglycemia (47% all grades, 1.6% grade 3), nausea, and fatigue, with limited impact on glucose homeostasis.
Only two patients discontinued due to TRAEs; 95% median dose intensity was maintained at RP2D.
Dose intensity was maintained at 95%, with low rates of discontinuation and dose modification compared to other PI3K inhibitors.
Tolerability profile compares favorably to approved PI3Ka inhibitors, with lower rates of severe hyperglycemia and discontinuations.
Study design and patient population
The REDISCOVER trial enrolled over 200 patients across multiple arms, focusing on a heavily pretreated population, with half having received two or more prior therapies and over half previously treated with fulvestrant or a novel SERD.
Dose escalation and expansion included 118 patients for safety and 52 patients at 600mg BID for efficacy, excluding PTEN/AKT co-mutations.
Median patient age was 59, with 59% having visceral metastases and 45% receiving two or more prior lines of therapy.
Nearly two-thirds had visceral metastases, and over a third had high BMI and/or elevated baseline HbA1c, reflecting a real-world Western patient population.
No prior PI3K pathway inhibitor treatment was allowed for inclusion in the REDISCOVER trial.
