Full description

1. Study Population

   • Eligible Participants: Patients with triple - negative metastatic breast cancer at the second line of treatment or higher. Triple - negative invasive breast cancer is histologically confirmed, defined as immunohistochemical detection revealing estrogen receptor (ER) < 10%, progesterone receptor (PR) < 10%, and HER2 0 - 1+ or HER2 2+ with negative fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) or chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) results, in accordance with the 2018 ASCO - CAP HER2 - negative identification guidelines.

2. Experimental Design

   • Study Type: Multicenter, prospective cohort study.

3. Sample Size Determination

   • The sample size is calculated based on the primary endpoint of progression - free survival (PFS). Drawing on data from ASCENT (a confirmatory phase III study on the efficacy in triple - negative breast cancer) and EVER - 132 - 001 (a Chinese population bridging study presented at the ESMO Congress), the PFS of sacituzumab govitecan monotherapy in metastatic triple - negative breast cancer (mTNBC) is approximately 5.6 months.
   • Assuming a hazard ratio of 0.70 in each cohort (median PFS value of 8 months vs. 5.6 months), to detect a statistically significant difference between the trial group and the sacituzumab govitecan monotherapy control group at a one - sided significance level of 0.05 and a power of 80%, 51 PFS events are required.

   Given an enrollment period of 18 months and a total study duration of 30 months, 69 subjects are needed for each cohort.

4. Dosage Regimens

   • 4.1 Sacituzumab Govitecan Dose and Administration: The recommended dose is 10 mg/kg. It is administered by intravenous infusion on days 1 and 8 of each treatment cycle, with each cycle lasting three weeks.
   • 4.2 Toripalimab Dose and Administration: 240 mg is administered by intravenous infusion on day 1 of each cycle. Each treatment cycle has a duration of three weeks.
   • 4.3 Antiangiogenic Targeted Drugs Options and Dosage: Bevacizumab or Anlotinib can be selected. Treatment is carried out according to the standard dosage for each respective drug.

5. Inclusion Criteria

   • Age between 18 and 70 years.
