This is a randomized, controlled, open-label, phase III study to explore the efficacy and safety of Apatinib in combination with standard first-line endocrine therapy for the HR+/ HER2-SNF4 subtype of advanced breast cancer. The study was used to explore the efficacy of Apatinib in combination with standard endocrine therapy.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, other targeted therapy, and immunotherapy for advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer within 4 weeks before the first administration of drugs used in this study.
  • Pregnant or lactating patients;
  • Other malignancies within the previous 3 years, excluding cured skin basal cell carcinoma and cervical carcinoma in situ;
