Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This phase III trial investigates the efficacy and safety of utidelone compared to docetaxel in women with HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Participants must have documented breast cancer and meet specific criteria regarding previous treatments and disease status. The study aims to determine which treatment provides better outcomes for patients with this type of cancer.

* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score \[0-1\] points;
* Patients must have metastatic disease that is evaluable on imaging: including at least one measurable lesion (assessed according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1)); or only non-measurable disease as defined by RECIST 1.1 , especially in patients with bone metastases only, while the disease could be documented/assessed by bone scan, PET or MRI;

* Patients must have recovered to ≤ Grade 1 (CTCAE v5.0) from all toxicities related to prior antineoplastic therapy. However, patients with any grade of alopecia were allowed ;
* Patients with asymptomatic CNS metastases may be enrolled, if:

  1. Intracranial lesions are evaluable and eligible for systemic therapy only in the absence of extracranial evaluable lesions, or
  2. Patients with stable intracranial lesions after local treatment while there are extracranial evaluable lesions ;
* Adequate hematological, hepatic and renal function;
* Women of childbearing potential must agree to use a contraceptive method during the treatment period and for at least 90 days after the last dose of experiment treatment;

* Other malignancies (including primary brain or leptomeninges-related tumors) within the past 5 years, except cured cutaneous basal cell carcinoma and cervical carcinoma in situ;
* Patients who have received anti-tumor therapy within 4 weeks prior to the start of study treatment, including chemotherapy, radical radiotherapy, biological therapy, immunotherapy or anti-tumor Chinese medicine therapy;
* Patients who have undergone major organ surgery (excluding needle biopsy) or have significant trauma within 4 weeks before the first dose of treatment, or anticipating for a major surgical procedure during the study;
* Experienced grade ≥ 3 nervous system-related adverse events after treatment with anti-microtubule drugs;
* Symptomatic central nervous system metastases;
* Pregnant or lactating women;
* Known or suspected hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or excipients;
