Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with HR-negative, HER2-negative breast cancer and MRI-confirmed brain metastases, at least one lesion ≥1 cm, ECOG 0-2, not candidates for curative local therapy, and expected survival ≥3 months.

Probably not a fit

Patients with rapidly progressing disease, significant comorbidities, or brain lesions not meeting size criteria may not benefit.

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

What this trial studies

This is a multicenter, single-arm phase II trial evaluating the safety and activity of Sac-TMT with bevacizumab in adults with histologically confirmed triple-negative breast cancer and brain metastases. Eligible participants have at least one intracranial lesion ≥1.0 cm and are not candidates for curative local therapy. The study plans to enroll 24 patients to assess objective response rate, progression-free survival, and safety signals. It is sponsored by Fudan University and conducted at the Shanghai Cancer Center. MRI confirmation of brain lesions is required, with considerations for progressive disease if prior radiotherapy exists.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could offer a new systemic option for controlling brain metastases and systemic disease in TNBC.

How similar studies have gone: Prior studies in related TNBC brain metastasis approaches have shown signals of activity but this exact combination is novel in this setting.
