ctDNA-guided Treatment Decision-making
This is an exploratory, ctDNA-guided, multi-stage clinical study designed to evaluate the clinical value of treatment decision-making based on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) variant allele frequency (VAF) dynamics in patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. All enrolled patients will receive antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy for two cycles in Stage 1, with serial ctDNA assessments performed prior to Cycle 1 and Cycle 2. In Stage 2, patients without disease progression will be assigned to different…

Metastatic Breast Cancer ( HER2 Negative), ctDNA
About this study
This is an exploratory, ctDNA-guided, multi-stage clinical study designed to evaluate the clinical value of treatment decision-making based on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) variant allele frequency (VAF) dynamics in patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. All enrolled patients will receive antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy for two cycles in Stage 1, with serial ctDNA assessments performed prior to Cycle 1 and Cycle 2. In Stage 2, patients without disease progression will be assigned to different treatment strategies based on the percentage reduction in mean ctDNA VAF. The study aims to assess whether ctDNA VAF dynamics can serve as an early biomarker to guide treatment intensification and improve clinical outcomes in metastatic breast cancer.
Interventions
- Drug: ADC — ADC therapy includes sacituzumab govitecan or trastuzumab deruxtecan administered intravenously according to standard dosing schedules. ADC treatment is given in all study stages and continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
- Drug: Ivonescimab — Ivonescimab is administered intravenously at 20 mg/kg every 3 weeks in combination with ADC therapy for patients assigned to the combination treatment arm.
Primary outcomes
- Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in TNBC (Group A vs Group B) (From randomization until progression or death (up to 36 months))
