Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include women with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have specific hormone receptor and HER2 expression profiles and have previously failed certain therapies.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with early-stage breast cancer or those who are candidates for curative surgery or radiotherapy may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This multicenter, open-label phase 2 clinical study aims to assess the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of YL202 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, specifically targeting those with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), hormone receptor-positive, and low or zero HER2 expression. Participants will receive intravenous infusions of YL202, and the study will measure treatment outcomes based on established criteria. The trial focuses on patients who have previously failed other treatments and are not candidates for curative surgery or radiotherapy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced breast cancer who have limited treatment alternatives.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in targeting similar patient populations with advanced breast cancer, indicating potential for success with this approach.
