Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults 18–75 years old with histologically confirmed HER2-positive unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, ECOG ≤1, and an expected survival of more than three months.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are HER2-negative, have poor performance status (ECOG >1), a life expectancy under three months, or contraindications to antibody‑drug conjugates are unlikely to receive benefit from this intervention.

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

What this trial studies

This Phase 3, randomized, open-label, positive‑drug controlled, multicenter trial enrolled adults with HER2-positive unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer and ECOG performance status ≤1. Participants were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive either TQB2102 injection or trastuzumab emtansine, with treatment and follow-up per protocol. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival as determined by an Independent Review Committee. The trial was conducted at several hospitals in Anhui province, China.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, TQB2102 could provide an alternative HER2-targeted antibody‑drug conjugate that maintains similar disease control to trastuzumab emtansine.

How similar studies have gone: Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) has demonstrated benefit in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, so comparing a new agent to this established therapy builds on prior successful approaches.

* Age: 18 - 75 years old (at the time of signing the informed consent form); Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG )score ≤ 1; Expected survival period exceeds 3 months;

* According to the 2018 version of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/College of American Pathologists (CAP )HumanEpidermalGrowthFactorReceptor2 (HER2) testing guidelines, HER2 positive is defined as: immunohistochemical result of 3+ or Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) dual probe positive;
* The hormone receptor (HR) status has been clearly determined:

  a) According to the 2020 version of the ASCO/CAP guidelines, HR positive includes ER positive and/or PR positive, that is, the proportion of tumor cells with positive staining among all tumor cells is ≥ 1%.

* Disease progression occurred during or after the most recent treatment or intolerance.
* At least 1 line of treatment has been received in the recurrence/metastasis stage.
* According to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 standard, at least one measurable lesion exists.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Excluded are patients with known spinal cord compression or active central nervous system metastases .
* Patients with only skin and/or intracranial lesions as target lesions.
* Patients with adverse reactions from previous treatments that have not recovered to a CTCAE v5.0 grade score of ≤1.
* Patients with poorly controlled blood pressure (systolic blood pressure ≥150 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg).
* Patients with major cardiovascular diseases
* Patients with a history of interstitial lung disease/pneumonia (non-infectious type) requiring steroid intervention treatment, or currently having interstitial lung disease/pneumonia, or those with suspected interstitial lung disease/pneumonia indicated by screening period imaging and cannot be excluded.
