About

This study is a randomized, open-label, phase II study, comparing the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab plus aromatase inhibitors, with or without pyrotinib, in the treatment of HR (hormone receptor)+/HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) + MBC and inoperable LABC patients.

Full description

This is a randomized, two-arm, open-label, multicenter phase II trial. Our primary purpose is to compare that PFS of patients with trastuzumab, AI plus pyrotinib and trastuzumab plus an AI for HER2-positive and hormone receptor-positive MBC or locally advanced breast cancer (LABC).

Eligible patients will randomized to a ratio of 1:1 to pyrotinib+ trastuzumab + aromatase inhibitor (experimental group) or trastuzumab+aromatase inhibitor (control group). Stratification factors were 1)time since adjuvant hormone therapy (<=12 months/>12 months/no prior hormone therapy); 2) lesion (visceral; non-visceral).

In treatment period, patients will be administrated trastuzumab plus aromatase inhibitors, with or without pyrotinib, every 21 days for 1 cycle, until disease progression, toxicity intolerance, withdrawal of informed consent, patients judged must be terminated study termination.

The imaging evaluation was performed according to the RECIST 1.1 criteria every 6 weeks.

Enrollment: 250 estimated patients

Sex: Female

Ages: 18+ years old

5. Other malignancies within the last 3 years, except for carcinoma in situ of the cervix or basal cell carcinoma.
6. Major surgical procedure or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to study treatment start or anticipation of the need for major surgery during the course of study treatment

8. History of CHF of any New York Heart Association (NYHA) criteria, or serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring treatment (exception, atrial fibrillation, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia);
9. History of myocardial infarction within 6 months of randomization
10. History of LVEF decline to below 50% during or after prior trastuzumab neo-adjuvant or adjuvant therapy
11. Pregnant or lactating women;
12. QT interval>470 ms；
13. Serious concomitant diseases (including severe hypertension, severe diabetes, active infection, thyroid disease, etc.) that are harmful to the patient's safety or affect the patient's completion of the study;
