How are clinicians optimizing the use of AKT inhibitors in HR-positive metastatic breast cancer?
In this CHM Conversations episode, Drs. Neil Iyengar, Manali Bhave, and Reshma Mahtani explore the shifting second-line landscape for HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer. The discussion centers on the clinical integration of capivasertib and the necessity of biomarker testing—specifically PIK3CA, AKT, PTEN, and ESR1—following progression on CDK4/6 inhibitors.
The panel emphasizes a proactive approach to toxicity, detailing how multidisciplinary care and early metabolic optimization can mitigate class-specific side effects like hyperglycemia, rash, and diarrhea. By focusing on patient education and glycemic control from the start of the treatment journey, clinicians can effectively balance the potent efficacy of PI3K/AKT/PTEN pathway inhibition with long-term tolerability.
A valuable discussion for oncology clinicians navigating biomarker-driven care and targeted therapy management in metastatic breast cancer.
