NCT ID NCT05375461
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding the experimental drug TQB3616 to standard hormone therapy (fulvestrant) can help slow cancer growth in people with a common type of advanced breast cancer (HR-positive, HER2-negative). About 293 women took part, receiving either the drug combo or a placebo plus fulvestrant. The main goal was to see how long the cancer stayed under control.

Biochemical tests should meet the following criteria: a) Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN); b) Alanine transferase (ALT) and aspartate transferase (AST) ≤2.5×ULN.ALT and AST≤5×ULN with liver metastasis. c) Serum creatinine (Cr) ≤1.5×ULN, or creatinine clearance rate (CCR) ≥60ml/min. The blood coagulation function test should meet the following criteria: prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), international standardized ratio (INR) ≤1.5×ULN (no anticoagulant therapy); Cardiac ultrasound evaluation: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)≥50%. Exclusion Criteria: * 1 Complicated diseases and medical history: 1. Has had other malignant tumors within 3 years or currently has other malignant tumors; 2. Have a variety of factors that affect oral medication (such as inability to swallow, chronic diarrhea, and intestinal obstruction); 3.

Had received chemotherapy within 3 weeks prior to the start of study treatment, and had received radiotherapy (except palliative radiotherapy for non-target lesions), hormone therapy, or other anti-tumor therapy within 2 weeks prior to the start of study treatment (washout period was calculated from the end of last treatment); 3. Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites that still require repeated drainage (as determined by the investigator). * 3 Known to be allergic to fluvestone, TQB3616 or any excipient. * 4 Participated in clinical trials of other antitumor drugs within 4 weeks prior to the initiation of study therapy. * 5 Has other conditions that make it inappropriate for the patient to be enrolled based on investigator's opinion.
