Database Links
OMIM: 612918
Orphanet: ORPHA140944

Targets

phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha
Drugs:  CLOVE syndrome patients treated with the PI3Kα-selective kinase inhibitor alpelisib achieve significant reduction in symptoms across a varied range of tissues that are affected by this disease.
Side effects:  Alpelisib treatment was not associated with any substantial side effects in the nineteen CLOVE syndrome patients that were given the drug.
Therapeutic use:  Alpelisib is not yet an approved drug (May 2019) so is being tested in this select patient cohort on compassionate grounds.
Comments:  Use of alpelisib to treat CLOVE syndrome and other PI3KA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS) conditions is claimed in patent WO/2017/140828
