appropriate contraception (double barrier method); WOCBP must have negative pregnancy
test within 48 hours before Day 1 of treatment.

treatment except for alopecia and grade 1 neuropathy
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Patients with history of prior treatment with a PI3K inhibitor
2. Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents currently, or within
time limits specified above prior to study Day 1. NOTE: For the mCRC expansion
cohort, patients may not have received a FOLFOX-based adjuvant regimen within 6
months of study entry. If FOLFOX treatment occurred in the adjuvant setting, no more
than grade 1 neuropathy may be present at baseline.
3. Patients with known coagulopathies, and those who require therapeutic
anti-coagulation with coumarin-derivative anticoagulants
4. Patients on strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor(s) or CYP3A4 inducer(s) unable or
unwilling to discontinue during the study period (see Appendix B for list). Please
note that co-treatment with weak inhibitors of CYP3A4 is allowed.
5. Patients who received live vaccines or who have close contact with people who have
received live vaccines within 7 days of day 1 of BKM120 (see Appendix B).
6. Patients who have taken herbal medications and certain fruits within 7 days prior to
starting study drug. Herbal medications include, but are not limited to St. John's
wort, Kava, ephedra (ma huang), gingko biloba, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA),
yohimbe, saw palmetto, and ginseng. Fruits include the CYP3A inhibitors Seville
oranges, grapefruit, pummelos, or exotic citrus fruits.
7. Patients who have been treated with any hematopoietic colony-stimulating growth
factors (e.g., G-CSF, GM-CSF) ≤2 weeks prior to starting study drug. Erythropoietin
or darbepoietin therapy, if initiated ≥2 weeks prior to enrollment, may be continued.
8. Patients who are currently receiving treatment with medication with a known risk to
prolong the QT interval or inducing Torsades de Pointes and the treatment cannot
either be discontinued or switched to a different medication prior to starting study
drug. Please refer to table 12B for a list of prohibited QT-prolonging drugs with
risk of Torsades de Pointes.
9. Patients on chronic steroids (or other immunosuppressive agents) unable or unwilling
to discontinue. Note: Topical applications (e.g., for rash), inhaled sprays (e.g.,
for obstructive airway diseases), eye drops, or local injections (e.g.,
intra-articular) are allowed.
