About this trial
This study is a prospective, open-label, randomized, multicenter, two-cohort phase II clinical trial. Starting from December 1, 2024, it plans to enroll 120 patients with advanced first-line HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. A centralized randomization system (IWRS) will be used for randomization, and stratification will be performed based on the following factors during randomization: 1) Visceral metastasis (yes vs no); 2) Disease-free interval (previously untreated vs 12 \< DFI ≤ 24 vs DFI \> 24).
Cohort A: Dalpiciclib 125mg + Letrozole 2.5mg Cohort B: Dalpiciclib 150mg + Letrozole 2.5mg Imaging assessment will be conducted in accordance with the RECIST 1.1 criteria, and tumor imaging evaluation will be performed by investigators from the participating centers.
Patients receiving dalpiciclib will undergo a safety visit 28 days after the last dose, followed by survival follow-up until the patient's death or trial termination (whichever comes first).
Pharmacokinetic assessment: Blood samples will be collected once before dosing on Cycle 1 Day 15 (C1D15), 4 hours after dosing on C1D15, before dosing on Cycle 2 Day 1 (C2D1), and before dosing on Cycle 4 Day 1 (C4D1) to explore the population pharmacokinetic characteristics of dalpiciclib and the factors affecting its pharmacokinetics. The first dosing time of the subjects, each blood collection time, the dalpiciclib dosing time within three days before blood collection, and the dalpiciclib dosing time on the day of C1D15 blood collection must be accurately recorded. If dalpiciclib is not administered within 14 days before the planned PK blood collection, no PK blood collection will be performed on the day of that visit. If possible, PK samples should be collected simultaneously with samples for other laboratory tests.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Have undergone bilateral oophorectomy in the past, or be aged ≥60 years; or
Aged <60 years, in a natural postmenopausal state (defined as spontaneous cessation of regular menstruation for at least 12 consecutive months without other pathological or physiological causes), with E2 and FSH at postmenopausal levels; or
Premenopausal or perimenopausal female patients can also be enrolled, but must be willing to receive LHRH agonist treatment during the study period
Patients with breast cancer confirmed by pathological examination to be HR-positive and HER2-negative, with evidence of focal recurrence or metastasis, not suitable for surgical resection or radiotherapy with the goal of cure, and without clinical indications for chemotherapy.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Progression - Free Survival (PFS)
Progression - Free Survival (PFS) is registered as 'Primary' as the most clinically impactful endpoint; other outcomes (ORR, DoR) are secondary per platform requirements, though protocol does not hierarchy
Duration of Response (DoR)
Time from first documentation of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to disease progression (per RECIST 1.1) or recurrence, assessed by investigators via imaging
Other outcomes
Objective Response Rate, ORR
Proportion of participants with complete response (CR, disappearance of all target lesions) or partial response (PR, ≥ 30% reduction in sum of target lesion diameters) per RECIST 1.1.
Overall Survival (OS)
Time from randomization to death from any cause, with survival status monitored until trial completion or participant withdrawal.
Patient - Reported Outcome (PRO): Quality of Life
Quality of life assessed via EORTC QLQ - C30 questionnaire (score range: 0-100; for functional domains, higher scores indicate better quality of life; for symptom domains, higher scores indicate more severe symptoms), focusing on physical, emotional, and functional well - being. Administered at baseline, then every 3 weeks during treatment until trial completion.
Safety: Adverse Event Profile
Adverse events (AEs) assessed by CTCAE v5.0 criteria, including type, severity, and duration. Monitored from first dose until 30 days after last dose
