Adding capivasertib to paclitaxel improved the progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who had not received prior treatment for metastatic disease. Predominantly patients with PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-altered tumours had a more pronounced PFS and overall survival (OS) benefit, as reported by Schmid et al. in the Journal of Clinical Oncology
