Can a targeted drug plus immunotherapy outsmart tough breast cancer?

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

Agree to provide archived tumor tissue specimens (surgical specimens) or fresh tissue samples from primary or metastatic lesions obtained within 3 years; 9. Must have at least one measurable lesion as defined by RECIST v1.1; 10. Toxicities from prior anti-tumor therapy must have recovered to ≤ Grade 1 as defined by NCI-CTCAE v6.0; 11.

Urine protein ≤ 1+ or \< 1000 mg/24 h; 14. For premenopausal women of childbearing potential, a pregnancy test (serum) must be performed within 7 days before starting treatment, and pregnancy must be ruled out; patients must not be lactating. All enrolled patients (regardless of sex) must use adequate barrier contraception throughout the entire treatment period and for 7 months after the end of treatment. Exclusion Criteria: 1.

History of severe cardiac or cerebrovascular disease; 6. Receiving chronic systemic corticosteroids at \>10 mg/day prednisone before the first dose; 7. Active autoimmune or inflammatory disease; 8. Any thrombotic event within 6 months before randomization; 9. Prolonged QTc, complete left bundle branch block, or similar; 10. Active malignancy diagnosed within 3 years before randomization; 11. Hypertension uncontrolled by two antihypertensives; 12. Poorly controlled diabetes/hyperglycemia; 13. History of steroid-treated ILD/interstitial pneumonitis; 14. Concurrent lung disease causing clinically significant respiratory impairment; 15. Active CNS metastases; 16. Severe infection within 4 weeks before randomization; 17. Massive or symptomatic serosal effusion; 18. Severe non-healing wound, ulcer, or fracture within 4 weeks before consent; 19. Clinically significant bleeding or bleeding tendency within 4 weeks before consent; 20.
