What does it do?

Alpelisib is a targeted therapy component used as an anti-neoplastic agent. It is primarily used in the treatment of breast cancer patients with specific genetic mutations, serving the purpose of inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells.

Alpelisib inhibits cell growth and division by blocking the PI3K pathway within cancer cells. This prevents cancer cells from proliferating, thus playing a role in reducing tumor size.
