HLX22 plus HLX87 as first-line treatment for HER2-positive recurrent or metastatic breast cancer
Official title: An Open-Label, Randomized, Multicenter, Phase II/III Clinical Study to Evaluate HLX22 (Recombinant Humanized Anti-HER2 Monoclonal Antibody Injection) in Combination With HLX87 (HER2 ADC) as First-Line Treatment in Patients With HER2-Positive Recurrent or Metastatic Breast Cancer
Run by Shanghai Henlius Biotech · NCT07294508 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This will test whether combining HLX22 with HLX87 helps adults with HER2-positive recurrent or metastatic breast cancer when given as a first-line treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18) with centrally confirmed HER2-positive recurrent or metastatic breast cancer, measurable disease by RECIST v1.1, ECOG 0–1, adequate organ function, and no prior systemic chemotherapy or HER2-targeted therapy for advanced disease are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who previously received HER2-targeted therapy or chemotherapy for advanced disease, those with poor performance status, significant comorbidities, or non-HER2-driven tumors are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
The program includes two open-label, randomized, parallel-controlled stages: a Phase II portion focused on objective response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS), followed by a Phase III portion with PFS as the primary endpoint. Patients with centrally confirmed HER2-positive recurrent or metastatic breast cancer who have not received prior chemotherapy or HER2-targeted therapy for advanced disease are eligible. Treatment arms include HLX22+HLX87 and comparator regimens such as HLX87+pertuzumab, T-DXd+pertuzumab, and THP, with central imaging review by RECIST v1.1. The trial is sponsored by Shanghai Henlius Biotech and conducted at the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could offer a more effective first-line option that prolongs tumor control and progression-free survival for patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Combinations of dual HER2-targeted antibodies (for example pertuzumab plus trastuzumab with chemotherapy) and antibody–drug conjugates like T-DXd have shown substantial clinical benefit in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, and this trial applies that concept to new agents.
