What to Expect as a Participant

You will actively receive the study intervention — which may be a drug, biologic, device, or procedure.

In Phase 2, researchers evaluate early signs of effectiveness. You may be randomized to receive the active treatment or a comparator. Monitoring continues closely.

This trial targets 240 participants in total. It began in 2024-01-01 with a primary completion date of 2025-12-20.

Brief Summary

To observe the differences in the efficacy of Combination followed by maintenance chemotherapy versus CDK4/6 inhibitor combined with endocrine therapy in HR low expression /HER2 negative advanced breast cancer, and to provide new evidence for the best treatment of HR low expression /HER2 negative advanced breast cancer, and to explore the efficacy and safety of combined/maintenance chemotherapy.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. age ≥18 years old; Invasive breast cancer with metastatic disease confirmed by histological or cytological examination; Patients without pathologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic disease should have clear evidence of metastasis by physical examination or radiological studies; 2. The most recent pathological report of biopsy confirmed HR low expression and HER2 negative. 1. HR low expression was defined as 1-50% ER expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC); Or ER\<1% and PR≥1%; Patients with ER expression of 1-10% or ER-/ PR-positive patients were eligible for inclusion after careful evaluation by the investigator, and those with a small tumor burden and candidates for endocrine therapy were eligible. 2. HER2-negative definition: IHC 0 or 1+; If the IHC was 2+, it was confirmed negative by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). 3. at least one measurable lesion; 4. No previous salvage chemotherapy for metastatic disease was required, and first-line endocrine therapy was allowed; 5. no previous CDK4/6 inhibitor; For adjuvant CDK4/6i treatment, recurrence and metastasis were required more than 1 year after drug withdrawal. 6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) 0-1, life expectancy is more than 12 weeks; 7. Adequate function of major organs. 8. All adverse events recovered to grade 1 or less before enrollment (NCI CTCAE version 5.0); 9. patients without major organ dysfunction and heart disease; 10. Women and men of childbearing potential must agree to use appropriate contraception before and during study participation. Exclusion Criteria: 1. symptomatic, uncontrolled brain or leptomeningeal metastases; Patients who had received previous systemic radical treatment for brain metastases (radiotherapy or surgery), if stable disease had been maintained for at least 1 month as confirmed by imaging, and if systemic hormone therapy (dose 10mg/ day prednisone or other effective hormones) for more than 2 weeks without clinical symptoms. 2. patients received radiotherapy, chemotherapy, major surgery, targeted therapy or immunotherapy within 2 weeks before enrollment; Patients received endocrine therapy within 1 week before enrollment. Chemotherapy with nitrosourea or mitomycin was administered within 6 weeks before enrollment. 3. participated in other clinical trials of new drugs within 4 weeks before enrollment; 4. there can not be controlled by drainage or pneumatic methods third space effusion; 5. patients with other malignant tumors within the past 3 years, excluding radical cervical carcinoma in situ, skin basal cell carcinoma or skin squamous cell carcinoma; 6. suffering from serious or uncontrolled diseases, including but not limited to: 1) active viral infection, such as HIV or HBV active (HbsAg positive and HBV-DNA≥103, hepatitis C antibody positive); 2) history of severe cardiovascular disease: uncontrolled hypertension; Myocardial infarction, unstable arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, pericarditis, myocarditis, etc. Patients with NYHA class ⅲ-ⅳ cardiac dysfunction, or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 50% by echocardiography; 3) severe infection (e.g., intravenous antibiotic, antifungal, or antiviral therapy according to clinical practice) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose or unexplained fever during screening/before the first dose; 38.3°C (fever due to cancer, as judged by the investigator, was eligible); 7. patients with a history of psychotropic drug abuse and unable to abstain or with mental disorders; Or accompanied by swallowing and absorption dysfunction; 8. patients with other concomitant diseases that seriously endanger the safety of patients or affect the completion of the study according to the judgment of the investigators; 9. patients with known history of allergy to the components of this regimen; A history of immunodeficiency, including testing positive for HIV, HCV or other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency disorders, or a history of organ transplantation; 10. pregnant or lactating women; 11.
