About this study

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the triplet regimen compared to physician's choice chemotherapy as a later-line treatment for advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). 1. Primary Objectives and Endpoints: To determine whether the combination of camrelizumab, apatinib, and eribulin improves progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to investigator's choice chemotherapy in advanced TNBC. 2. Secondary Objectives and Endpoints: To compare the following clinical parameters between the camrelizumab, apatinib, and eribulin combination and investigator's choice chemotherapy for advanced TNBC: -Objective response rate (ORR) Disease control rate (DCR) Clinical benefit rate (CBR) Duration of response (DoR) Time to response (TTR) Two-year overall survival rate (2-year OS rate) Biomarker analysis Quality of life (QoL) analysis 3.Safety Evaluation: Comparison of the incidence and severity of adverse events between the two groups.

Platelet count ≥100×10⁹/L. Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL. Serum albumin ≥3 g/dL. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) ≤ULN (if abnormal, T3 and T4 levels should be assessed; subjects with normal T3 and T4 levels are eligible). Total bilirubin ≤1.0×ULN (for subjects with Gilbert's syndrome or liver metastases, total bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN). ALT and AST ≤1.5×ULN (for subjects with liver metastases, ≤3×ULN). Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤2.5×ULN. Renal function within 7 days prior to the first dose: serum creatinine ≤1.5×ULN or creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min.
  • Women of childbearing potential agree to use highly effective contraception starting at least 7 days prior to the first dose and continuing for 24 weeks after the last dose. A negative serum pregnancy test is required within 7 days prior to the first dose.

Exclusion criteria

  • Subjects with untreated active brain metastases or leptomeningeal metastases.
  • Participation in any other interventional clinical trial within 28 days prior to the first dose.
  • History of severe allergic reactions to other monoclonal antibodies.
  • Receipt of other antitumor therapies within 28 days prior to the first dose.
  • Uncontrolled hypertension despite antihypertensive medication (systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg).
  • Prior treatment with CTLA-4, Tim-3, or LAG-3 antibodies, or T-cell co-stimulatory therapies (previous use of PD-1 or PD-L1 antibodies is allowed).
  • Prior treatment with anti-angiogenic agents or eribulin chemotherapy.
  • Presence of any active autoimmune disease or a history of autoimmune disease (including but not limited to autoimmune hepatitis, interstitial pneumonitis, uveitis, colitis, hepatitis, hypophysitis, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, or hypothyroidism). Subjects with vitiligo, or childhood asthma that has fully resolved without intervention in adulthood, may be included. Subjects with asthma requiring medical intervention with bronchodilators are excluded.
  • Uncontrolled cardiac clinical symptoms or diseases, including: Heart failure classified as NYHA Class II or higher. Unstable angina. Myocardial infarction within the past year. Clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias requiring treatment or intervention.
  • Urinalysis indicating proteinuria ≥++ or confirmed 24-hour urinary protein ≥1.0 g.
  • Known hereditary or acquired bleeding or thrombotic disorders (e.g., hemophilia, coagulopathy, thrombocytopenia, hypersplenism).
  • Congenital or acquired immunodeficiency (e.g., HIV infection).
  • Receipt of a live vaccine within 4 weeks prior to or during the study period.

Other outcomes

  1. Tumor and Peripheral Blood Biomarker Analysis

    Time frame: Before treatment and after 2 cycles (each cycle is 21 days) of treatment, or disease progression.

    This analysis aims to identify biomarkers that predict treatment response, resistance, and prognosis in advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

    Tumor Biomarker Analysis:

    Genetic and Molecular Profiling: Whole-exome sequencing (WES), RNA sequencing, and proteomics to identify mutations, gene expression patterns, and protein markers related to treatment response.

    Immune Microenvironment Assessment: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and multiplex immunofluorescence to evaluate tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), PD-L1 expression, and other immune-related markers.

    Peripheral Blood Biomarker Analysis: Measurement of inflammatory and immunomodulatory cytokines to assess systemic immune response.

  2. QoL

    Time frame: At baseline upon enrollment and every 2cycles (each cycle is 21 days) of treatment, from date of randomization until the patient exits the study due to disease progression, adverse events, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months.

    Quality of life assessment will be conducted using the EORTC QLQ-BR23 questionnaire. Raw scores will be linearly transformed to a standardized scale ranging from 0 to 100 points.
