Paper Details 
Original Abstract of the Article :
Activating mutations in the <i>PIK3CA</i> gene, causing phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) hyperactivation, are rare causes of hypoglycemia. We report the novel use of alpelisib (a PI3K inhibitor) for the treatment of hypoketotic, hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia in 2 children with <i>PIK3CA</i>-related o...See full text at original site

Alpelisib: A New Hope for PIK3CA-Related Hypoglycemia

The field of [pediatric endocrinology] is constantly seeking new and innovative treatments for rare and complex conditions. This report describes the successful use of [alpelisib] in the treatment of [hypoketotic, hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia] in two children with [PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS)]. The authors highlight the rare nature of [PIK3CA] mutations as a cause of hypoglycemia and demonstrate the effectiveness of [alpelisib] in reducing hypoglycemia frequency and severity. The findings suggest that [alpelisib] could be a valuable therapeutic option for children with refractory hypoglycemia due to [PROS].

Alpelisib: A Potential Game-Changer for PROS-Related Hypoglycemia

This report provides valuable insights into the potential use of [alpelisib] for treating [PROS]-related hypoglycemia. The authors' experience with two patients suggests that [alpelisib] could be a breakthrough treatment option for this rare and challenging condition. The findings warrant further investigation into the long-term efficacy and safety of [alpelisib] in treating [PROS]-related hypoglycemia.

A Desert Oasis for Children with Hypoglycemia

Imagine a desert landscape where [hypoglycemia] threatens the well-being of children with [PROS]. This report offers a glimmer of hope with the introduction of [alpelisib]. This treatment, like a refreshing oasis in the desert, can bring relief and stability to children struggling with [hypoglycemia], offering them a brighter future.

Dr.Camel's Conclusion

This report, like a guidepost leading travelers through a challenging desert, sheds light on the potential of [alpelisib] for treating [PROS]-related hypoglycemia. The authors' findings provide a ray of hope for families facing this difficult condition and inspire continued research into developing more effective treatments for this rare disorder.
