A Study to Evaluate HLX22 in Combination With HLX87 in Patients With HER2-Positive Recurrent or Metastatic Breast Cancer

March 17, 2026 updated by: Shanghai Henlius Biotech

An Open-Label, Randomized, Multicenter, Phase II/III Clinical Study to Evaluate HLX22 (Recombinant Humanized Anti-HER2 Monoclonal Antibody Injection) in Combination With HLX87 (HER2 ADC) as First-Line Treatment in Patients With HER2-Positive Recurrent or Metastatic Breast Cancer

The study is being conducted to evaluate the clinical efficacy of HLX22 in combination with HLX87 as first-line treatment in patients with HER2-positive recurrent or metastatic breast cancer

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The study consists of two stages Stage I is an open-label, multicenter, randomized, parallel-controlled phase II clinical study, and its primary objective is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of HLX22 in combination with HLX87 as first-line treatment in patients with HER2-positive recurrent or metastatic breast cancer based on ORR and PFS results.

Stage II is an open-label, multicenter, randomized, parallel-controlled phase III clinical study, and its primary objective is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of HLX22 in combination with HLX87 as first-line treatment in patients with HER2-positive recurrent or metastatic breast cancer based on PFS results.
