Neratinib Combined With Fulvestrant and Eribulin in the Treatment ofHR+/HER2+ Advanced Breast Cancer

This study is a single-arm, exploratory clinical trial. Eligible patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer will be screened and enrolled after signing the informed consent form, and will receive neratinib combined with fulvestrant and eribulin until disease progression or intolerable toxicity occurs. During the treatment period, clinical tumor imaging assessments will be performed every 6 weeks (2 cycles) in accordance with RECIST v1.1; safety assessments will be conducted using NCI-CTCAE 5.0, and adverse events will be recorded throughout the study and within 30 days after the end of treatment (the recording period for serious adverse events or adverse events related to the drugs involved in this trial will be extended to 90 days after the end of treatment).

Inclusion criteria

• Female patients aged ≥18 years and ≤75 years;
• ECOG performance status of 0-2;
• Histologically confirmed HR-positive/HER2-positive advanced breast cancer:
• Definition of HER2 positivity: IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/ISH positive prior to T-DXd treatment;
• Definition of HR positivity: ER or PR ≥1%;
• Refractory to prior treatment containing T-DXd (definition of resistance: a. Definite disease progression per RECIST v1.1 criteria; b. Intolerance to T-DXd treatment);
• Prior exposure to anthracyclines and taxanes (including use in the adjuvant/neoadjuvant setting);
• Presence of at least one measurable lesion (per RECIST v1.1 criteria);
• Estimated survival time ≥3 months;
• Adequate function of major organs, meeting the following requirements (no blood transfusion, no use of leukocyte- or platelet-stimulating agents within 2 weeks prior to screening);
• For premenopausal or non-surgically sterilized female patients: Agreement to abstain from sexual activity or use effective contraceptive methods during treatment and for at least 7 months after the last dose of study treatment;
• Voluntary participation in the study, signing of the informed consent form, good compliance, and willingness to cooperate with follow-up.

Exclusion criteria

• Severe allergic reactions to neratinib, eribulin, fulvestrant, or any of their excipients;
• Prior treatment with neratinib, other small-molecule anti-HER2 TKIs, or eribulin;
• Patients with inflammatory breast cancer;
• A history of other malignant tumors within the past 5 years or concurrent malignant tumors (including cured malignant tumors such as carcinoma in situ of the cervix, basal cell carcinoma, or squamous cell carcinoma);
• Concurrent receipt of anti-tumor therapies in other clinical trials, including endocrine therapy, bisphosphonate therapy, or immunotherapy;
• Receipt of major surgical procedures unrelated to breast cancer within 4 weeks prior to enrollment, or failure to fully recover from such surgical procedures;
• Severe cardiac diseases or disorders, including but not limited to: --Documented history of heart failure or systolic dysfunction (LVEF < 50%); --High-risk uncontrolled arrhythmias, such as atrial tachycardia, resting heart rate > 100 bpm, significant ventricular arrhythmias (e.g., ventricular tachycardia), or high-grade atrioventricular block (i.e., Mobitz II second-degree atrioventricular block or third-degree atrioventricular block);
• Poorly controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure > 180 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure > 100 mmHg);
• Inability to swallow, intestinal obstruction, or other factors affecting drug administration and absorption;
• Known history of allergies to any components of the study drugs; history of immunodeficiency (including positive HIV test results), other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases, or history of organ transplantation;
• Pregnant or lactating female patients; female patients of childbearing potential with a positive baseline pregnancy test; or fertile patients unwilling to use effective contraceptive methods throughout the trial and for 7 months after the last dose of study treatment;
• Severe comorbid diseases or other concurrent conditions that may interfere with the planned treatment, or any other circumstances deemed by the investigator to make the patient unsuitable for participation in the study.
