A Phase II Study of HLX22 in Combination With Trastuzumab and Chemotherapy in HER2-Positive Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients

September 13, 2026 updated by: Shanghai Henlius Biotech

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Phase II Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of HLX22 in Combination With Trastuzumab and Chemotherapy Versus Placebo in Combination With Trastuzumab and Chemotherapy in Locally Advanced Unresectable and/or Metastatic HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Previously Treated With HER2 ADC

This is a phase II study of HLX22 in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy versus placebo in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy in locally advanced and/or metastatic HER2-Positive breast cancer previously treated with HER2 ADC. Eligible participants will be treated with the study drug until the loss of clinical benefit, intolerable toxicity, initiation of new anti-tumor therapy, voluntary withdrawal from the study by the patient, loss to follow-up, death, or when the investigator determines that the patient should be withdrawn from the study (whichever occurs first).

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

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

Time Frame
Objective response rate (ORR) assessed by the blinded independent central review (BICR) as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1
Time Frame: Up to 2 years
ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a Complete Response ([CR], disappearance of all evidence of disease) or Partial Response ([PR], regression of measurable disease and no new sites) per RECIST 1.1
Up to 2 years

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
Progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by the BICR as per RECIST 1.1
Time Frame: up to 5 years
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression per RECIST 1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
up to 5 years
ORR assessed by the investigator as per RECIST 1.1
Time Frame: up to 2 years
up to 2 years
PFS assessed by the investigator as per RECIST 1.1
Time Frame: up to 5 years
up to 5 years
Duration of response (DoR) assessed by the BICR and the investigator as per RECIST 1.1

DoR is defined as the time from the date of first achievement of CR or PR (whichever is documented first) to the date of the first documentation of PD or death (whichever occurs first)
up to 2 years
Overall survival (OS)
Time Frame: up to 5 years
OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.
up to 5 years
