A Phase II Clinical Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Culmerciclib Rechallenge in HR-positive, HER2-negative Breast Cancer Patients With Resistance to First-line Endocrine Therapy.

June 22, 2026 updated by: Zhimin Shao, Fudan University

A Phase II Clinical Trial Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Culmerciclib Combined With Fulvestrant Compared to an Investigator-Selected CDK4/6 Inhibitor Combined With Fulvestrant in Patients With HR-Positive, HER2-Negative Breast Cancer Who Have Progressed After First-Line Endocrine Therapy

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Culmerciclib combined with fulvestrant compared with investigator-selected CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with fulvestrant in patients with HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer who have progressed after first-line endocrine therapy
