Trastuzumab Rezetecan Followed by Pyrotinib, Fulvestrant, and Dalpiciclib in HR-Positive, HER2-Positive Advanced Breast Cancer
Sponsor: Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University
Summary
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether, in patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR-positive) and HER2-positive advanced breast cancer whose disease has progressed after trastuzumab-based therapy, switching to pyrotinib, fulvestrant, and dalpiciclib after induction with trastuzumab rezetecan-among those without disease progression-is superior to continued treatment with trastuzumab rezetecan. The three medicines are pyrotinib (a medicine that blocks HER2 and similar signals), fulvestrant (a hormone therapy), and dalpiciclib (a medicine that slows cancer cell division). The primary question this study aims to answer is: Does switching to pyrotinib, fulvestrant, and dalpiciclib prolong the time participants live without their cancer worsening compared with continued treatment with trastuzumab rezetecan? The study will also assess overall survival, tumor response to treatment, and adverse events. Researchers will compare the three-medicine combination with continued trastuzumab rezetecan. Participants will: Receive trastuzumab rezetecan once every 3 weeks for 6 cycles. If the cancer has not worsened after these 6 cycles, be randomly assigned to receive either the three-medicine combination or continued trastuzumab rezetecan. Undergo imaging scans every 6 weeks during the first 24 weeks and every 9 weeks thereafter to assess the cancer. Undergo blood tests, cardiac assessments, and other safety evaluations during treatment and follow-up.

Conditions
Interventions
Fulvestrant
Selective estrogen receptor downregulator (SERD) with no agonist activity. Binds to and degrades the estrogen receptor, inhibiting estrogen signaling in HR-positive breast cancer cells. Supplied as a 250 mg/5 mL injection and administered intramuscularly. In this trial, a loading dose of 500 mg (two 250 mg/5 mL injections) is given on Days 0, 14, and 28, followed by 500 mg once monthly thereafter. Given in combination with pyrotinib and dalpiciclib in the experimental arm.
Pyrotinib
Oral, irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor that covalently binds the intracellular kinase domains of EGFR (HER1), HER2, and HER4, blocking downstream signaling and inhibiting tumor cell growth. Supplied as 80 mg tablets and administered orally at 400 mg (five 80 mg tablets) once daily, continuously. Given in combination with fulvestrant and dalpiciclib in the experimental arm.
Dalpiciclib
Oral, highly selective cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor that blocks CDK4/6-mediated phosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein, arresting cell-cycle progression and inhibiting tumor cell proliferation. Supplied as 125 mg tablets and administered orally at 125 mg (one 125 mg tablet) once daily for 21 consecutive days followed by 7 days of. Given in combination with pyrotinib and fulvestrant in the experimental arm.
Trastuzumab Rezetecan
HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) composed of a humanized anti-HER2 IgG1 monoclonal antibody (trastuzumab) conjugated via a cleavable tetrapeptide-based linker to a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload (rezetecan, an exatecan derivative; also known as SHR169265), with a drug-to-antibody ratio of approximately 6. After binding to HER2 on tumor cells, the conjugate is internalized and the linker is cleaved in lysosomes, releasing the payload, which stabilizes topoisomerase I-DNA complexes and induces DNA double-strand breaks and apoptosis. Administered intravenously at 4.8 mg/kg once every 3 weeks (21-day cycle). In this trial, given as 6 cycles of induction before randomization, and continued as the control regimen after randomization for participants not switched to the experimental triplet.
