Brief summary

The aim of this international open-label randomized phase II trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an all-oral combination and two all-intravenous combinations as first-line therapy for HER2-negative mBC patients.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Disease Control Rate (DCR)From Baseline to disease progression or death, up to 6 yearsDisease control rate (DCR) defined as the sum of complete response, partial response and stable disease for at least 3 months according to RECIST criteria version 1.1. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR)= Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Stable disease: no partial response or progression of the disease

Disease Control Rate (DCR)

Disease control rate (DCR) defined as the sum of complete response, partial response and stable disease for at least 3 months according to RECIST criteria version 1.1. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR)= Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Stable disease: no partial response or progression of the disease

Time frame: From Baseline to disease progression or death, up to 6 years

Population: Disease control rate was measured in the Intent-to-treat ITT population that consisted of all treated patients.
