Inclusion and exclusion criteria

Participants are eligible to be included in the study only if they meet all of the following criteria:

  1. Have signed the informed consent form (ICF) and are able to comply with the follow-up visits and related procedures required in the protocol.

  2. Male or female participants: ≥18 years of age

  3. Pathologically confirmed breast cancer:

    1. Unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, i.e. participants who cannot be treated with curative intent and confirmed HER2-positive (HER2 IHC 3+ or HER2 ISH+) on specimens taken after confirmed locally advanced or metastatic disease by central testing.
    2. Documented history of hormone receptor (HR)-positive (defined as estrogen receptor [ER] and/or progesterone receptor [PgR] positive [ER or PgR ≥1%]) or HR-negative after local testing in the metastatic setting according to ASCO/CAP guidelines. If a participant has more than one ER/PgR result after metastatic disease, the most recent result will be used.
  4. No prior chemotherapy or HER2-targeted therapy for unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (first-line endocrine therapy is allowed for patients with metastatic breast cancer). Participants who have received chemotherapy or HER2-directed therapy in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapies and have a DFI of >6 months from completion of systemic chemotherapy or HER2-targeted therapy to advanced or metastatic diagnosis are eligible.

  5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) score of 0 or 1.

  6. Evidence of radiographic or objective disease progression on or after the last systemic therapy prior to starting study treatment.

  7. Have a life expectancy of ≥12 weeks at screening.

  8. At least 1 measurable lesion as defined per RECIST v1.1 that has not been previously irradiated. Must be ≥ 10 mm in long axis (except for lymph nodes, which must be ≥ 15 mm in short axis) when accurately measured at baseline by CT or MRI (preferably with intravenous contrast) and the lesion is suitable for repeated accurate measurement.

  9. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% within 28 days prior to randomization.

  10. Adequate organ and bone marrow function. Laboratory test values within 7 days prior to the first dose of the investigational product meet the following requirements in (if the laboratory tests during the screening period do not meet the following requirements, only one retest is allowed during the screening period):

    1. Hemoglobin (HGB) ≥ 90 g/L (transfusion of red blood cells or erythropoietin are not allowed within 1 week prior to the screening assessment, and participants requiring ongoing transfusion or growth factor support to maintain hemoglobin ≥ 90 g/L are not eligible).

    2. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 109 /L or within the normal range (G-CSF is not allowed within 1 week prior to the screening assessment).

      Female: CrCl = (140 - Age) × Weight (kg) × 0.85 72 × serum creatinine (mg/dL) Male: CrCl = (140 - years) × weight (kg) × 1.00 72 × serum creatinine (mg/dL)

    8. International normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 × ULN, and prothrombin time (PT) or activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN.

  11. Participants with evidence of postmenopausal status or negative serum pregnancy test (Sexually active, WOCBP with a non-sterilized male partner) must have a negative serum pregnancy test at the screening visit. WOCBP are women who are not surgically sterile (i.e., have undergone bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or total hysterectomy) or are not postmenopausal.
