Patients who did not have a PSA decline with the most recent antiandrogen therapy require only a 2 week washout period prior to registration
• A minimum of 2 weeks from prior abiraterone acetate, sipuleucel-T, MDV3100, orteronel (TAK700), ketoconazole, or other experimental anti-cancer therapies prior to registration is required. Concomitant treatment with enzalutamide is permitted.

• Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of BKM120 (e.g., ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel resection)
• Have been treated with any granulocyte colony-stimulating growth factors (e.g., G-CSF, GM-CSF) ≤ 2 weeks prior to starting study drug. Erythropoietin or darbepoetin therapy, if initiated at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment, may be continued
• Currently receiving treatment with medication that has the potential to significantly prolong the QT interval or induce Torsades de Pointes, and the treatment cannot either be discontinued or switched to a different medication prior to starting study drug
• Have received immunosuppressive therapy including corticosteroids ≤ 2 weeks prior to starting study drug. Prednisone at a total daily dose of 10 mg orally or its equivalent is permitted, if initiated at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment
• History of solid organ or stem cell transplantation
• Have received wide field radiotherapy ≤ 4 weeks or limited field radiation for palliation ≤ 2 weeks prior to starting study drug or who have not recovered from side effects of such therapy prior to administration of first dose of study drug
• Have undergone major surgery ≤ 4 weeks prior to starting study drug or who have not recovered from side effects of such therapy prior to administration of first dose of study drug
• Currently taking therapeutic doses of warfarin sodium or any other coumadin-derivative anticoagulant
