Itovebi® (inavolisib) is an oral prescription medicine used with palbociclib and fulvestrant to treat adults with endocrine-resistant, HR-positive, HER2-negative, locally advanced or metastatic PIK3CA-mutated breast cancer. It works by inhibiting PI3K-alpha, which can drive cancer cell growth and division. By inhibiting this pathway, Itovebi may help slow tumor progression.

Itovebi is taken by mouth and used in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant. Your healthcare provider will test your cancer for an abnormal PIK3CA gene to make sure Itovebi is right for you.

Itovebi may cause serious side effects, including high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia), mouth sores (stomatitis), and diarrhea. Common side effects of Itovebi include decreased white blood cell counts, red blood cell counts, and platelet counts; decreased blood levels of calcium, potassium, sodium, and magnesium; increased creatinine blood levels; tiredness; increased blood levels of the liver enzyme alanine transaminase (ALT); nausea; rash; loss of appetite; COVID-19 infection; and headache. Your healthcare provider will monitor your fasting blood glucose and other lab values regularly to help track your response to treatment and manage potential side effects. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of hyperglycemia, including excessive thirst, urinating more often than usual, blurred vision, confusion, difficulty breathing, or increased appetite with weight loss.

Important Safety Information & Use

What is Itovebi?

Itovebi® (inavolisib) is a prescription medicine used in combination with the medicines palbociclib and fulvestrant to treat adults who have hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer that has an abnormal phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) gene, and has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), or to other parts of the body (metastatic), and has come back after hormone (endocrine) therapy.

Your healthcare provider will test your cancer for abnormal PIK3CA genes to make sure that Itovebi is right for you.

It is not known if Itovebi is safe and effective in children.

What are the possible side effects of Itovebi?

Itovebi may cause serious side effects, including:

  • High blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia). High blood sugar is common with Itovebi and may be severe or fatal. Untreated severe hyperglycemia can lead to a condition called diabetic ketoacidosis that can happen in people treated with Itovebi. Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious condition that requires treatment in a hospital and that can lead to death. Your healthcare provider will monitor your blood sugar levels before you start and during treatment with Itovebi. Your blood sugar levels may be monitored more often if you have a history of Type 2 diabetes. Your healthcare provider may also ask you to self-monitor and report your blood sugar levels at home. This will be required more frequently in the first 4 weeks of treatment. If you are not sure how to test your blood sugar levels, talk to your healthcare provider. You should stay well-hydrated during treatment with Itovebi. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop symptoms of high blood sugar, including:

    • difficulty breathing
    • nausea and vomiting (lasting more than 2 hours)
    • stomach pain
    • excessive thirst
    • dry mouth
    • more frequent urination than usual or a higher amount of urine than normal
    • blurred vision
    • unusually increased appetite
    • weight loss
    • fruity-smelling breath
    • flushed face and dry skin
    • feeling unusually sleepy or tired
    • confusion
  • Mouth sores (stomatitis). Mouth sores are common with Itovebi and may be severe. Tell your healthcare provider if you develop any of the following in your mouth:
    • pain
    • redness
    • swelling
    • ulcers
  • Diarrhea. Diarrhea is common with Itovebi and may be severe. Severe diarrhea can lead to the loss of too much body water (dehydration) and kidney injury. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop diarrhea, stomach-area (abdominal) pain, or see mucus or blood in your stool during treatment with Itovebi. Your healthcare provider may tell you to drink more fluids or take medicines to treat your diarrhea.

Your healthcare provider may tell you to decrease your dose, temporarily stop your treatment, or completely stop your treatment with Itovebi if you develop certain serious side effects.

The most common side effects and abnormal blood test results of Itovebi when used in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant include:
