Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 70 with confirmed HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer and measurable brain lesions.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with rapidly progressing brain metastases requiring immediate local treatment may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of UTD1 in combination with Capecitabine for patients suffering from metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It is a single-arm, multicenter, open-label study, meaning all participants will receive the same treatment without a control group. The study focuses on patients who have measurable brain lesions and aims to determine how well this combination therapy works in this specific patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with challenging brain metastases from HER2-negative breast cancer.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel, similar studies combining targeted therapies with chemotherapy have shown promise in other cancer types.

Exclusion Criteria:
* Primary or metastatic lesions were HER2 positive (HER2 IHC or FISH positive)
* Other malignant carcinomas (including primary brain or leptomeningeal related tumors) in the past 5 years, except for the cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
* Anti tumor treatment, including chemotherapeutic radical radiotherapy, hormone therapy, biological therapy Immunotherapy or anti-tumor traditional Chinese medicine.

* For any brain lesions requiring immediate local treatment, such as increased lesion size or treatment-related edema at intracranial (but not limited to) anatomical sites may pose risks to patients (e.g., brainstem lesions)
* Known or suspected leptomeningeal disease (LMD)
* Other non malignant systemic diseases (cardiovascular, renal, liver, etc.) that are excluded from any treatment regimen or interfere with follow-up in pregnant or lactating women.
