New cocktail of drugs takes on Hard-to-Treat breast cancer
NCT ID NCT07581795
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Phase 2 trial tests a new combination of drugs—paclitaxel polymer micelles, trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and adebelimab—against the standard taxane-based regimen for people with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer. About 140 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The goal is to see if the new combo shrinks tumors better and delays cancer growth, while also checking for side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- paclitaxel polymer micelles combined with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and adebelimab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a more effective first-line treatment option for advanced HER2-positive breast cancer, potentially improving tumor shrinkage and delaying disease progression.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 140 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The new drug combination may cause more side effects or not work better than the standard treatment.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
1. Age: ≥18 years, no gender restriction; 2. Pathologically confirmed breast cancer: a) Advanced or metastatic breast cancer; b) Locally assessed as HER2-positive (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+ with ISH+); 3. For advanced or metastatic breast cancer, patients should have not previously received chemotherapy or HER2-targeted therapy, or have received only first-line endocrine therapy. Subjects receiving chemotherapy or HER2-targeted therapy as neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment are eligible if the interval from treatment completion to metastasis diagnosis exceeds 6 months; 4. PD-L1 testing is positive (combined positive score CPS ≥ 1); 5. ECOG score is 0-1; 6. Estimated survival is at least 3 months; 7. There is at least one measurable lesion assessed by computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (according to RECIST 1.1); 8. Basic normal function of major organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys; 9. Sufficient organ and bone marrow function, meeting the following criteria: (1) Complete blood count must meet: a) Hemoglobin (HB) ≥ 90 g/L; b) Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5×10⁹/L; c) Platelet count (PLT) ≥ 75×10⁹/L; (2) Biochemical tests must meet: a) Serum total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5× upper limit of normal (ULN); b) ALT and AST ≤ 2.5× ULN; if liver metastases are present, ALT and AST ≤ 5× ULN; c) Cr ≤ 1.5× ULN or creatinine clearance (CCr) ≥ 60 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula); 10. Patients voluntarily participate in the study, sign an informed consent form, and demonstrate good compliance. Exclusion Criteria: Subjects were ineligible for this trial if they met any of the following criteria: 1. Known allergy or intolerance to any study agent or excipient; 2. Primary central nervous system malignancy or meningeal metastasis; symptomatic patients with central nervous system metastases; patients with asymptomatic brain metastases or clinically stable conditions requiring no steroid therapy for at least 4 weeks were eligible; 3. History of chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or major surgery within 4 weeks prior to first dose; history of endocrine therapy or local radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to first dose; 4. Active or previously documented interstitial lung disease (ILD), pneumonia, or suspected ILD that could not be excluded by imaging during screening; pneumonia that could not be excluded by imaging during screening; 5. History of other malignancies within 5 years that could be locally treated and cured (excluding basal cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial or non-invasive bladder cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, breast ductal carcinoma in situ, papillary thyroid carcinoma, etc.); 6. History of live vaccine vaccination within 28 days prior to treatment; 7. Active autoimmune diseases (including but not limited to myasthenia gravis, myositis, asthma, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis, Sjögren's syndrome, Guillain-Barré syndrome, multiple sclerosis, vitiligo, psoriasis, etc.); stable-dose hormone replacement therapy for hypothyroidism was excluded; 8. Patients with significant coagulation disorders or other clear evidence of bleeding risk. 9. Patients with the following cardiac conditions within 6 months prior to treatment initiation: acute coronary syndrome, coronary artery bypass grafting, congestive heart failure, aortic dissection, stroke, or other grade 3 or higher cardiovascular events; cardiac dysfunction classified ≥ Class II on the New York Heart Association (NYHA) scale or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<50%; myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina, cerebrovascular accident/stroke, transient ischemic attack, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or severe cardiac rhythm/conductance abnormalities requiring clinical intervention (e.g., ventricular arrhythmias, second-to-third-degree atrioventricular block, congenital long QT syndrome); 10. Patients with active hepatitis B or C virus infection, HIV infection, or active pulmonary tuberculosis; 11. Patients with active infections requiring antimicrobial therapy (e.g., antibiotics, antiviral agents, or antifungal drugs); 12. Patients with a known history of allogeneic organ transplantation or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; 13. Patients with a history of substance abuse (e.g., psychiatric medications) that cannot be discontinued or those with mental disorders; 14. Pregnant or breastfeeding women; or patients of reproductive age who are unwilling or unable to use effective contraceptive measures.
