Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Advanced breast cancer is a special subtype of human breast cancer. Conventional guidelines recommend chemotherapy combined with other adjuvant therapies for this subtype of patients. However, the choice of treatment for these patients after treatment progress is a research hotspot in this field. Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) and Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG) are new ADC drugs targeting HER2 or TROP-2 with high efficacy and low toxicity after the progress of first-line treatment. The autophagy agents hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine has become the only FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved autophagy inhibitor, and hydroxychloroquine and antibody-drug conjugate(ADC) may have synergistic effects based on the previous work results of our research group.

Therefore,we envisage that Trastuzumab Deruxtecan(T-DXd) or Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG) combined with hydroxychloroquine(HCQ) in the treatment of advanced breast cancer in clinical practice has the advantages of improving efficacy and survival.

To this end, we intend to conduct a prospective,multi-center, phase I/II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of T-DXd or SG in combination with HCQ in patients with advacned breast cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignant tumor in the world, and 30% of breast cancer patients will enter the advanced stage due to treatment failure. Most patients with advanced breast cancer have had distant organ metastasis, and the median progression free survival period is only 1-2 years.

In the past, advanced breast cancer patients faced the dilemma of poor survival due to the lack of precise targeted therapy. However, through a series of clinical studies, experts in the field of advanced breast cancer have successfully expanded the indications of ADC-based combination targeted therapy from the emergence of first generation ADC to the third generation ADC with "bystander effect", which has significantly prolonged the survival time of patients. Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) and Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG) are new ADC drugs targeting HER2 or TROP-2 with high efficacy and low toxicity after the progress of first-line treatment.

Because both ADC and autophagy involve lysosomes, and the relationship between ADC and autophagy microenvironment has not been elucidated, the combination of autophagy regulators and ADC may be a treatment option that can benefit some patients more.The autophagy agents hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine has become the only FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved autophagy inhibitor. And the synergistic effect of hydroxychloroquine and antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) has already been confirmed based on preliminary experiments of our research group. We envisage that Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) or Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG) combined with hydroxychloroquine(HCQ) in the treatment of advanced breast cancer in clinical practice has the advantages of improving efficacy and survival.

Therefore, we intend to further validate the efficacy and safety of the Autophagy inhibitor hydroxychloroquine(HCQ) in combination with the latest ADC drugs (T-DXd or SG) in a Phase I/II, randomized, controlled clinical study, in order to provide advanced breast cancer patients with a better choice of precision targeted therapy.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Sacituzumab Govitecan

Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG) is given by intervenous route, 10 mg/kg on day 1 and day 8 of 21-day treatment cycles. Patient will receive treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or decision to withdraw its participation.

Group Type OTHER

Sacituzumab Govitecan

Intervention Type DRUG

Sacituzumab govitecan is a monoclonal antibody, called sacituzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called govitecan. Sacituzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules on the surface of cancer cells, known as Trop-2 receptors, and delivers govitecan to kill them.

Hydroxychloroquine Combined With Sacituzumab Govitecan

The dosage of hydroxychloroquine is determined based on the dose escalation study, and the appropriate administration method will be determined based on this result.

Group Type OTHER

Trastuzumab Deruxtecan

Intervention Type DRUG

Trastuzumab-deruxtecan is a human HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) composed of humanized anti-HER2 immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody (mAb) with the same amino acid sequence as trastuzumab, covalently linked to the membrane-permeable topoisomerase I inhibitor payload, DXd, an exatecan derivative, via a stable tetrapeptide-based linker, selectively cleaved within tumor cells.
