Notes

~3–6% of HR+ HER2− metastatic breast (CAPItello-291 enrichment ~7%); also seen in endometrial, prostate, lung, meningioma. Capivasertib + fulvestrant FDA-approved for HR+ HER2− advanced breast harboring PIK3CA / AKT1 / PTEN alteration after progression on endocrine ± CDK4/6i (CAPItello-291). The pathway-altered cohort (any of the three) drove the benefit; AKT1 E17K alone is a smaller subset but responsive. Hyperglycemia + diarrhea + rash are class on-target effects.
