New pill aims to keep advanced breast cancer at bay

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 18-75 years (inclusive) at the time of informed consent. 2. Histologically confirmed triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC; ER \<1%, PR \<1%, HER2-negative). 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1. 4. Received ≥2 prior lines of systemic therapy, including a platinum-based regimen (single-agent or combination); must have achieved partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) during or after that platinum-based treatment. 5. Platinum-sensitive disease defined as: Objective response (complete or partial) or stable disease lasting ≥6 months while on platinum-based therapy, or Platinum-free interval (PFI) ≥6 months from the end of the last platinum-containing regimen to documented progression/relapse. 6. Estimated life expectancy ≥3 months. 7. At least one measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1 on CT/MRI; evidence of metastatic disease (soft-tissue and/or bone lesions) is required. 8. Willing to provide archived tumour tissue (core biopsy or excision) or fresh biopsy/blood for biomarker analyses. 9. Adequate organ function within 14 days (7 days for liver enzymes) before first dose: Absolute neutrophil count ≥1.5 × 10⁹/L Platelets ≥100 × 10⁹/L Haemoglobin ≥80 g/L Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) ALT \& AST ≤2.5 × ULN (≤5 × ULN if liver metastases present) Serum creatinine ≤1.25 × ULN and calculated creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min 10. Toxicities from prior anti-cancer therapy resolved to Grade ≤1 per NCI-CTCAE v5.0 (except alopecia or other stable chronic toxicities deemed tolerable by the investigator). 11. Participants of reproductive potential and their partners must agree to use highly effective contraception from 30 days before the first dose until 120 days after the last dose of fluzoparib. 12. Signed written informed consent prior to any study-specific procedures. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Known hypersensitivity to fluzoparib or any of its excipients. 2. Prior treatment with any PARP inhibitor. 3. Use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors within 14 days or strong CYP3A4 inducers within 28 days before first dose. 4. Wash-out interval \<4 weeks from any prior anti-cancer therapy (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, targeted therapy, immunotherapy) to first dose. 5. Planned anti-cancer therapy other than study drug during the trial period. 6. Severe bone complications from bone metastases (uncontrolled pain, impending pathological fracture, or spinal cord compression within 6 months or judged likely to occur). 7. Symptomatic or untreated brain metastases, leptomeningeal disease, spinal cord compression, or primary CNS tumors. (Stable brain metastases treated ≥28 days prior to first dose, without steroids and with confirmatory imaging showing no hemorrhage, may be allowed at investigator's discretion.) 8. Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic therapy within the past 2 years. 9. Recovery from major surgery under general anesthesia or severe trauma \<14 days before start of study treatment. 10. Active hepatitis B (HBsAg positive and HBV DNA ≥500 IU/mL) or hepatitis C (anti-HCV positive and HCV RNA \>ULN). 11. Untreated CNS metastases. 12. History of immunodeficiency (including HIV positive), congenital or acquired, or prior solid-organ transplant. 13. Other malignancies within 5 years except adequately treated carcinoma in situ or indolent tumors judged by the investigator to have low risk of recurrence. 14. Alcohol abuse (\>14 units/week) or drug abuse; inability to stop smoking (\>10 cigarettes/day), nicotine products, grapefruit juice, or excessive caffeine/tea during the study. 15. History of non-infectious pneumonitis requiring steroids or current pneumonitis. 16. Clinically significant ECG abnormalities, including QTcF \>470 ms in females (QTc calculated with Fredericia's formula). 17. Conditions that could impair oral absorption: inability to swallow, active GI disease, bowel obstruction, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic diarrhea, short-bowel syndrome, or major upper-GI surgery (e.g., gastrectomy). 18. Active infection or unexplained fever \>38.5 °C on screening or day 1 (tumor fever allowed if investigator judges stable). 19. Uncontrolled chronic systemic diseases (severe pulmonary, hepatic, renal, or cardiac). 20. Thyroid function abnormalities (TSH, FT3, FT4) deemed clinically significant by the investigator. 21. Bleeding diathesis: active peptic ulcer with positive fecal occult blood (FOB ++), melena or hematemesis within 2 months, or any condition predisposing to GI hemorrhage; gastric ulcer-type tumor without resection and judged at high risk of major bleeding; on thrombolytic/anticoagulant therapy that cannot be safely interrupted. 22. Urinalysis ≥++ proteinuria confirmed by 24-h urine protein \>1.0 g. 23. Arterial or venous thrombo-embolic events (stroke, TIA, DVT, PE) within 6 months before screening. 24. Active tuberculosis or acute infection requiring anti-infective therapy. 25. Live-vaccine administration within 30 days before planned first dose. 26. Additional exclusion: Any severe concomitant condition that, in the investigator's opinion, could compromise patient safety or interfere with study compliance (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, thyroid disorders, psychiatric illness).
