Drug Overview
Capivasertib (AstraZeneca) is an orally active, highly selective Akt inhibitor that preferentially targets Akt isoforms 1–3. Akt is a key enzyme in the PI3K/Akt/mTOR tumor cell survival pathway and is dysregulated in a number of malignancies through loss of tumor suppressor phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), acquisition of activating mutations in phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) or AKT1, as well as amplification of PI3K.
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is associated with activating PI3KCA or AKT1 mutations and alterations in PTEN expression, both of which can lead to activation of the Pl3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. In TNBC, a higher degree of Akt pathway activation has been associated with deficient expression of PTEN.
