The Efficacy and Safety of Different Combination Regimens of Inetetamab in First-line Treatment of HER2 Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer

In terms of the anti-HER2 mechanism, the binding sites of Inetetamab and Trastuzumab are located in the extracellular domain IV, while the binding site of Pertuzumab is located in the conserved domain II, inhibiting HER2 phosphorylation and blocking downstream signaling pathways. The binding site of Pyrotinib is located in the intracellular tyrosinase active domain, which competes with ATP to block HER2 autophosphorylation and activation. Inetetamab combined with Pertuzumab "dual target" blocks HER2 dimer formation, while Inetetamab combined with Pyrotinib "dual target" inhibition can produce synergistic enhancement of anti-HER2 effect. This study is to explore the efficacy and safety of the first-line treatment of HER2 positive recurrent/metastatic breast cancer with Inetetamab combined with Pertuzumab or Pyrotinib combined with chemotherapy, hoping to have better clinical benefits and provide a new treatment mode for targeted treatment.

Blood biochemistry: total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤1.5×ULN,known as Gilbert syndrome patients, TBIL ≤ 2 × ULN; ALT and AST ≤2.5×ULN; and liver metastasis patients require ALT and AST ≤5×ULN; Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 × ULN; BUN and Cr ≤1.5×ULN;
• Coagulation function: International normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal, unless drugs known to alter INR and APTT are used;

Exclusion criteria

• Have received other clinical study drugs within 4 weeks prior to the first study drug administration;
• Have received any systematic anti-tumor treatment during the recurrence/metastasis stage (excluding endocrine therapy previously performed for recurrence/metastasis stage);
• During the (new) adjuvant phase, other anti-HER2 treatments were received in addition to trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and pyrotinib;
• Patients who experience disease progression during (new) adjuvant trastuzumab treatment, as well as patients who experience recurrence/metastasis within 12 months after completing (new) adjuvant system treatment;

• There is a third fluid accumulation (such as pleural effusion or ascites) that cannot be controlled by drainage or other methods;
• Suffering from serious accompanying diseases or other comorbidities that may interfere with the planned treatment, or any other circumstances that are not suitable for participation in this study, such as pulmonary infections that require treatment;
