Overview of the CAPItello-291 Trial
Panelists discuss the findings of the CAPItello-291 trial, which investigated capivasertib combined with fulvestrant in advanced hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, leading to its approval in November 2023 and highlighting its potential as a new targeted therapy option in the second-line setting due to the prevalence of PIK3CA, AKT1, and PTEN alterations.
