Optimal Application Timing of ADC Drugs for Advanced Breast Cancer
Recruiting now · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Breast Cancer Females
In brief
This study plans to initiate a prospective, randomized controlled trial to investigate the optimal timing of antibody drug conjugate (ADC) therapy in the management of advanced Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer. Primary Objective: To compare the difference in PFS2 (Time from randomization to disease progression after second therapy) between antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) followed by chemotherapy versus chemotherapy followed by ADC in the treatment of advanced HER2-negative breast cancer. Secondary Objectives: To compare overall survival (OS), adverse events, patient-reported outcomes, and cost-effectiveness between the two treatment sequences. Additionally, to identify potential biomarkers predictive of benefit from frontline ADC therapy.

Who can join
Age: 18 and older, up to 75. Sex: female. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.
You may qualify if…
- Female patients aged 18-75 years;
- Histologically confirmed advanced HER2-negative breast cancer, including IHC 2+/ISH-, IHC 1+/ISH-, and IHC 0/ISH- subtypes;
- Completed first-line combination chemotherapy for advanced/metastatic disease (specific regimen not restricted), with disease progression (PD) evaluated per RECIST criteria (HR-positive patients must have received at least one line of endocrine therapy);
- Electrocorticography (ECOG) performance status < 2;
- Estimated life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks;
- Adequate bone marrow function, defined as:
- ANC ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L
- Platelets ≥ 90 × 10⁹/L
- Hemoglobin ≥ 90 g/L
- Adequate hepatic and renal function, defined as:
- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN)
- AST or ALT ≤ 2.5 × ULN (≤ 5 × ULN for patients with liver metastases)
- Creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min
- Signed informed consent obtained prior to any study-related procedures or treatments, confirming the patient's willingness to participate and comply with study requirements.
You may not qualify if…
- Prior treatment with an ADC after disease recurrence or metastasis;
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women;
- No evaluable recurrent or metastatic lesions as defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria;
- Symptomatic brain parenchymal and/or leptomeningeal metastases with symptoms not adequately controlled by treatment;
- History of other malignancies within the past 5 years, except for adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, or well-controlled localized basal cell carcinoma of the skin;
- Psychiatric disorders or other conditions that may interfere with patient compliance;
- Recent history of serious and uncontrolled systemic diseases, such as clinically significant cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, metabolic disorders, or arterial/venous thromboembolic events;
- Concurrent use of other investigational drugs, or participation in another clinical trial within 30 days prior to enrollment;
- Known or suspected allergy to any study drug or its excipients;
- Any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, renders the patient unsuitable for participation in this trial.
