Efficacy and Safety of Inetetamab Plus Pyrotiniband and Capecitabine in HER2-positive Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients With or Without Brain Metastasis

Efficacy and Safety of Inetetamab Plus Pyrotiniband and Capecitabine in HER2-positive Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients With or Without Brain Metastasis

This study intends to include HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients (with or without brain metastasis) who have become resistant to previous treatment with trastuzumab. It will use pertuzumab in combination with pyrotinib and capecitabine to observe efficacy and safety. The choice of capecitabine as the chemotherapy drug is mainly based on the following reasons: ① it has been less commonly used as neoadjuvant treatment, making it less prone to cross-resistance; ② its oral formulation is convenient for administration, making it more acceptable to patients; ③ previous studies have shown good efficacy when combined with pyrotinib; ④ previous research in breast cancer patients with brain metastasis has also demonstrated certain effectiveness. It is hoped that through this study, preliminary evidence can be provided for the dual-target treatment of original Chinese drugs, as well as the treatment of HER2+ MBC after resistance to trastuzumab, and the addition of new data for patients with brain metastasis.

Research Title A single-center, open-label, single-arm clinical study on the efficacy and safety of pertuzumab in combination with pyrotinib and capecitabine in the treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients who have developed resistance to previous trastuzumab treatment (with or without brain metastasis).

Study Drugs - Injectable pertuzumab: 50mg/vial - Pyrotinib: 80mg/tablet

Research Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of pertuzumab in combination with pyrotinib and capecitabine in the treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients who have developed resistance to previous trastuzumab treatment (with or without brain metastasis). This study aims to provide preliminary evidence for the dual-target treatment of original Chinese drugs, and to add new data to the treatment model for trastuzumab-resistant HER2+ MBC and patients with brain metastasis.

Study Design A single-center, open-label, single-arm clinical study with a planned enrollment of 40 patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients who can voluntarily sign an informed consent form;
• Females aged ≥18 years at the time of signing the informed consent form;
• ECOG PS performance status score between 0 and 2;
• Patients histologically diagnosed with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, with or without brain metastasis, and with locally recurrent disease that cannot undergo curative surgery or radiation therapy;
• Patients who experience relapse or metastasis within 1 year during or after (neo)adjuvant pertuzumab-based targeted therapy, or disease progression during first-line pertuzumab-based targeted therapy in advanced stages;
• Patients who have received ≤1 regimen of previous pertuzumab-based targeted therapy for recurrent or metastatic disease;
• Brain metastasis patients must meet the following criteria: stable previous brain metastasis treatment, untreated brain metastasis with no immediate need for local treatment, or progressive previous brain metastasis without immediate need for local treatment;
• Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50%;

• Liver function meets the following conditions: ① serum total bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN, or ≤3×ULN if liver metastasis is present, ② aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤3×ULN, or ≤5×ULN if liver metastasis is present;
• Renal function meets the following conditions: serum creatinine ≤1.5×ULN or creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min (creatinine clearance calculated according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula);
• Female patients who meet the following conditions can participate in this study: ① not fertile; ② fertility potential, with a negative pregnancy test result within 7 days before the first administration of the study drug, not breastfeeding, and consistently using highly effective contraceptive measures before study enrollment, throughout the study period, and within 6 months after the last administration of the study drug.
