Participation Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

• Ages Eligible for Study: Adult; Older Adult
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

1. age ≥18 years old; Invasive breast cancer with metastatic disease confirmed by histological or cytological examination; Patients without pathologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic disease should have clear evidence of metastasis by physical examination or radiological studies;

2. The most recent pathological report of biopsy confirmed HR low expression and HER2 negative.

   1. HR low expression was defined as 1-50% ER expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC); Or ER<1% and PR≥1%; Patients with ER expression of 1-10% or ER-/ PR-positive patients were eligible for inclusion after careful evaluation by the investigator, and those with a small tumor burden and candidates for endocrine therapy were eligible.
   2. HER2-negative definition: IHC 0 or 1+; If the IHC was 2+, it was confirmed negative by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
3. at least one measurable lesion;
4. No previous salvage chemotherapy for metastatic disease was required, and first-line endocrine therapy was allowed;
5. no previous CDK4/6 inhibitor; For adjuvant CDK4/6i treatment, recurrence and metastasis were required more than 1 year after drug withdrawal.
6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) 0-1, life expectancy is more than 12 weeks;
7. Adequate function of major organs.
8. All adverse events recovered to grade 1 or less before enrollment (NCI CTCAE version 5.0);
9. patients without major organ dysfunction and heart disease;
10. Women and men of childbearing potential must agree to use appropriate contraception before and during study participation.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. symptomatic, uncontrolled brain or leptomeningeal metastases; Patients who had received previous systemic radical treatment for brain metastases (radiotherapy or surgery), if stable disease had been maintained for at least 1 month as confirmed by imaging, and if systemic hormone therapy (dose 10mg/ day prednisone or other effective hormones) for more than 2 weeks without clinical symptoms.
2. patients received radiotherapy, chemotherapy, major surgery, targeted therapy or immunotherapy within 2 weeks before enrollment; Patients received endocrine therapy within 1 week before enrollment. Chemotherapy with nitrosourea or mitomycin was administered within 6 weeks before enrollment.
3. participated in other clinical trials of new drugs within 4 weeks before enrollment;
4. there can not be controlled by drainage or pneumatic methods third space effusion;
5. patients with other malignant tumors within the past 3 years, excluding radical cervical carcinoma in situ, skin basal cell carcinoma or skin squamous cell carcinoma;
6. suffering from serious or uncontrolled diseases, including but not limited to: 1) active viral infection, such as HIV or HBV active (HbsAg positive and HBV-DNA≥103, hepatitis C antibody positive); 2) history of severe cardiovascular disease: uncontrolled hypertension; Myocardial infarction, unstable arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, pericarditis, myocarditis, etc. Patients with NYHA class ⅲ-ⅳ cardiac dysfunction, or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 50% by echocardiography; 3) severe infection (e.g., intravenous antibiotic, antifungal, or antiviral therapy according to clinical practice) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose or unexplained fever during screening/before the first dose; 38.3°C (fever due to cancer, as judged by the investigator, was eligible);
7. patients with a history of psychotropic drug abuse and unable to abstain or with mental disorders; Or accompanied by swallowing and absorption dysfunction;
8. patients with other concomitant diseases that seriously endanger the safety of patients or affect the completion of the study according to the judgment of the investigators;
9. patients with known history of allergy to the components of this regimen; A history of immunodeficiency, including testing positive for HIV, HCV or other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency disorders, or a history of organ transplantation;
10. pregnant or lactating women;
11. Patients deemed unsuitable for inclusion by the investigators.
