PIK3CA -related disorders include vascular malformations, potential overgrowth of various tissues, limb abnormalities, disordered soft tissue, and/or fatty hyperplasia that often leads to significant morbidity. Alpelisib, a targeted inhibitor of p110α, an enzyme encoded by the PIK3CA gene, has demonstrated success in a cohort of patients with PIK3CA -driven overgrowth syndromes. We describe the clinical course of 2 pediatric patients treated with alpelisib under the Novartis Managed Access Program. Both patients, though clinically distinct, demonstrate improvements in overgrowth volumes/extent, function of their affected limb, and quality of life, without significant adverse effects after prolonged treatment.
