Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame: 18 months
The proportion of patients with measurable tumor size reduction of a predefined amount (complete response [CR], partial response [PR]) according to the response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Complete Response: Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm (<1 cm). Partial Response: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
18 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical benefit rate (CBR)
Time Frame: 18 months
The proportion of patients with measurable tumor size stable lasting ≥24 weeks (stable disease [SD]) or its size reduction of a predefined amount (complete response [CR], partial response [PR]) following the response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Complete Response (CR) and Partial Response (PR) are defined in Primary Outcome Measure. Stable Disease: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD (progressive disease), taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. Progressive Disease: At least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm (0.5 cm). (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression).
18 months
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: 24 months
The interval time from the date of initiation treatment for metastatic breast cancer to the date of the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause.
24 months
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: 30 months
The interval time from the date of initiation treatment for metastatic breast cancer to the date of death from any cause.
30 months
Occurrence and severity of AEs
Time Frame: 30 months
Occurrence and severity of AEs by NCI-CTCAE v5. Changes in laboratory parameters (hematology and serum chemistry), vital signs and ECG parameters. Grade 3 or 4 abnormalities in serum chemistry laboratory parameters.
30 months

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Biomarkers related to efficacy
Time Frame: 24 months

Baseline tumor biopsy from metastatic or recurrent lesions was required, we analyze and compare the difference of tumor immune microenvironment among patients with different responses to this intervention via the single cell sequencing of acquired tumor biopsy.

And peripheral blood samples were collected at baseline, one day before the second cycle treatment and the date of withdrawal from this clinical trial confirmed by researchers. Then peripheral blood mononuclear cell cluster analysis will be performed and compared their changes before and after treatment.
