What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of a combination therapy using Adebrelimab, Apatinib, and Etoposide for patients with HER2-negative breast cancer that has metastasized to the brain. The study aims to evaluate the central nervous system objective response rate by targeting tumor growth through immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Participants will be closely monitored for their response to the treatment and overall survival. The trial is designed for patients who have experienced progression of their brain metastasis after previous treatments.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with HER2-negative breast cancer brain metastasis, potentially improving survival rates and quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar combination therapies in treating brain metastases, indicating potential for success in this approach.
