At current drug prices, alpelisib plus fulvestrant is not cost effective for patients with PIK3CA-mutated, HR+/HER2- ABC from a US payer perspective. Given the considerable progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) benefits observed with alpelisib in this setting, further discussion and negotiation of the price of alpelisib are warranted to provide more favorable economic outcomes and thereby increase the value of the alpelisib plus fulvestrant regimen in patients.
