NCT05375461

Brief Summary

This is a Phase III, a randomized, double-blind, parallel , multi-center trail to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TQB3616 capsules plus fulvestrant compared to placebo plus fulvestrant in participants with estrogen receptor-positive, HER2-Negative Advanced Breast Cancer. Approximately 287 women will be randomized to either TQB3616 plus fulvestrant or TQB3616-matching placebo plus fulvestrant. Randomization will follow a 2:1 randomization ratio,the experimental is 191; the Placebo Comparator is 96.

TQB3616 capsules plus fulvestrant

EXPERIMENTAL

The dose of TQB3616 capsules is 180mg, taken orally on an empty stomach, once a day for 28 consecutive days as one treatment cycle. Fluvestrin injection was given at a fixed dose of 500mg on day 1, day 15 of the first treatment cycle and day 1 of each subsequent treatment cycle, and a treatment cycle of 28 days.

  • The main organs are functioning well and meet the following criteria: Routine blood examination criteria (no blood transfusion or hematopoietic stimulus drug correction within 7 days before screening) : a) hemoglobin (Hb) ≥100g/L; b) neutrophils absolute value (NEUT) ≥1.5×10\^9/L; c) Platelet count (PLT) ≥90×10\^9/L.
  • Biochemical tests should meet the following criteria: a) Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN); b) Alanine transferase (ALT) and aspartate transferase (AST) ≤2.5×ULN.ALT and AST≤5×ULN with liver metastasis. c) Serum creatinine (Cr) ≤1.5×ULN, or creatinine clearance rate (CCR) ≥60ml/min.
