Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient is an adult female ≥18 and ≤75 years old at the time of informed consent.

ECGO rating 0-3.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed breast cancer.

Disqualifiers

Patients with other malignant tumors, excluding basal cell carcinoma and carcinoma in situ

Patients with severe or uncontrolled systemic disease, including uncontrolled hypertension or active bleeding tendency

The investigator considers the patient unsuitable for entry into this study.

Patients with toxicity from prior therapy that has not returned to normal or NCI-CTCAE grade 5.0

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Intracranial Overall Response Rate

Intracranial overall response rate (iORR) is defined as the proportion of patients whose best overall response is either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as per local review and according to RANO-LM.

Time frame
From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Intracranial Progression Free Survival

Intracranial progression-free survival (iPFS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented progression, as per local review and according to RANO-LM or death due to any cause.

Time frame
From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months
2

Intracranial Duration of Response

Intracranial duration of response (iDoR) is defined as the time from randomization to disease progression or death in patients who achieve complete or partial response, as per local review and according to RANO-LM.

Time frame
From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months
3

Overall Response Rate

Overall response rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of patients whose best overall response is either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as per local review and according to RECIST 1.1.

Time frame
From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months
4

Progression Free Survival

Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented progression as per local review and according to RECIST 1.1 or death due to any cause.

Time frame
From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months
