ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called SKB264 for people with a specific type of advanced breast cancer (called HR-positive, HER2-negative) that has spread or come back after hormone therapy no longer works. The goal is to see how well SKB264 works compared to standard chemotherapy options chosen by the doctor, and to check if it is safe for patients.

Adults aged 18 to 75 who have this type of breast cancer, whose disease has progressed despite hormone treatments, and who have not yet received chemotherapy for their advanced cancer may be eligible to join. Participants will need to have at least one tumor that can be measured and be healthy enough for chemotherapy. If accepted, patients will receive either SKB264 or one of the common chemotherapy drugs selected by their doctor. The study will carefully monitor how the cancer responds to treatment and watch for any side effects. This trial is not yet open for enrollment, but it offers a potential new option for patients whose cancer has stopped responding to hormone therapies.

• • 14. Willingness to participate in the study, sign the ICF, and comply with the protocol-specified visits and relevant procedures.
• Exclusion Criteria:
• • 1. Subjects with locally advanced (Stage IIIc) breast cancer suitable for curative therapy at study enrollment;
• • 2. Other malignancies (except those tumors cured by local treatment, such as basal cell carcinoma of skin, squamous cell carcinoma of skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix) within 3 years prior to randomization;
• • 3. Central nervous system (CNS) metastases (including parenchymal brain metastases or metastases to meninges) or cancerous meningitis;
• • 4. Presence of any serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk factors;

• • 7. Serious infection within 4 weeks prior to randomization, including but not limited to complications requiring hospitalization, sepsis, or severe pneumonia; active infection requiring systemic anti-infective therapy within 2 weeks prior to randomization;
• • 8. Documented severe dry eye syndrome, severe meibomian gland dysfunction and/or blepharitis, or history of severe corneal disorders that prevent/delay corneal healing;
• • 9. History of esophagogastric varices, severe ulcers, gastric perforation, gastrointestinal obstruction, intra-abdominal abscess, or acute gastrointestinal bleeding within 6 months prior to randomization;
• • 10. Active hepatitis B (hepatitis B surface antigen positive and HBV-DNA ≥ 500 IU/mL or above the ULN, whichever is higher) or hepatitis C (hepatitis C antibody positive and HCV-RNA above the ULN);
• • 11. Positive result of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test or history of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS); known active syphilis infection;
• • 12. 12 Known hypersensitivity to SKB264 or investigator's choice chemotherapy or any of its excipients, including but not limited to polysorbate-20, or history of severe hypersensitivity reaction to other monoclonal antibodies;
• • 13. Known history of allogeneic organ transplantation and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
• • 14. Pregnant or lactating women;
• • 15. Prior TROP2-targeted therapy or any treatment containing chemotherapeutic agents targeting topoisomerase I (including antibody-drug conjugates \[ADCs\]);
• • 16. Live vaccines within 4 weeks prior to randomization or scheduled to receive live vaccines during study treatment;
• • 17. Receipt of the following therapies prior to randomization: a)Major surgery within 4 weeks prior or expected major surgery during the study; b)Radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior (extensive radiation therapy including radiopharmaceuticals within 4 weeks prior); c)Any immunotherapy, biological therapy, or other investigational drugs within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives of prior drug use (whichever is shorter) (bisphosphonates or RANK-L inhibitors for bone metastases are permitted prior to randomization); or traditional Chinese medicine with approved anti-tumor indications, small molecule targeted therapy, or endocrine therapy within 2 weeks prior.
• • 18. Rapid deterioration of the condition, e.g., significant changes in performance status, etc., during the screening process.
