Overview

This is a randomized, controlled, open-label, phase III study to explore the efficacy and safety of Apatinib in combination with standard first-line endocrine therapy for the HR+/ HER2-SNF4 subtype of advanced breast cancer. The study was used to explore the efficacy of Apatinib in combination with standard endocrine therapy.
