Randomized, Open, Controlled, Multicenter Phase III Clinical Study of Fluzoparib in Combination With Apatinib Versus Investigator-Selected Chemotherapy for HRD-Positive/HER2-negative Advanced Breast Cancer

Summary

This study develops a new therapeutic approach for HER2-negative advanced breast cancer patients without precise treatment targets. The trial aims at extending the combination target therapy involving PARP inhibitors and anti-angiogenesis from only BRCA mutation carriers to all patients with homologous recombination repair defects (HRD-positive). The phase III randomized clinical study will investigate the effectiveness of the combination therapy of PARP inhibitor "fludzoparib" and anti-angiogenic "apatinib" in treating HRD-positive/HER2-negative advanced breast cancers.
