Overview

This study adopts a single-center, open-label, non-randomized trial design. It plans to enroll patients with HR- positive, HER2- negative advanced breast cancer who are resistant to (neo)adjuvant endocrine therapy. Dose-escalation and dose-expansion studies will be carried out to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of sirolimus (albumin-bound) in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant in this patient population, and to confirm the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D)

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

-

1. Subjects should be over 18 years old, regardless of gender. Among them, female patients should be post - menopausal status

-

       2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed HR - positive, HER2 - negative
          advanced breast cancer.

-

       3. The investigator assesses that the patient is suitable for palbociclib and
          fulvestrant treatment at the current stage.

-

       4. There is at least one measurable lesion that meets the RECIST V1.1 criteria
          (only applicable to the dose - expansion stage)

-

       5. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score is 0 -
          1.

-

       6. For patients in the dose - escalation stage, there are no restrictions on
          previous treatments. The investigator needs to determine that the patient is
          suitable for enrollment in the study and receiving the investigational drugs at
          the current stage. For patients in the dose - expansion stage, the following
          criteria must be met:

• The patient has received (neo)adjuvant endocrine therapy (either as a single agent or in combination). There should be imaging evidence of breast cancer recurrence or progression during or within 12 months after the completion of (neo)adjuvant endocrine therapy (tamoxifen, AI, or oral SERD).
• Patients in the recurrent or metastatic stage have not received systemic chemotherapy. (Note 1: A chemotherapy regimen that is terminated due to toxicity during the first cycle or after the completion of treatment, and there is no clinical or imaging evidence of disease progression at the start of subsequent treatment, is not counted as a line of treatment. Note 2: Adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy are not classified as lines of treatment for ABC. Note 3: Antibody - drug conjugates are classified as chemotherapy)
• Patients in the recurrent or metastatic stage have not received CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment. (Note 1: It is allowed that the patient has received CDK4/6i during (neo)adjuvant therapy, and there is a disease - free interval of at least 12 months (i.e., at least 12 months between the last day of CDK4/6i treatment and the date of recurrence). In addition, drug replacement in patients without disease progression does not count as a new line of treatment)

Exclusion Criteria:

-

1. The patient was previously diagnosed with HER2 - positive breast cancer through pathological examination.

-

       2. Patients who are judged by the investigator as unsuitable for endocrine therapy
          (e.g., patients with visceral crisis at immediate risk of life - threatening
          complications in the short term, including those with a large amount of
          uncontrolled effusion (pleural, pericardial, and abdominal), lymphangitis
          carcinomatosa of the lung, or patients with liver involvement > 50%).

-

       3. Patients who have previously received treatment with fulvestrant or inhibitors
          such as PI3K/AKT/mTOR.

-

       4. Patients with third - space fluid accumulation (such as pericardial effusion,
          pleural effusion, and ascites) that requires repeated drainage or other
          treatments but remains uncontrollable, and are judged by the investigator as
          unsuitable for enrollment.

-

       5. Patients with a history of severe lung diseases, such as interstitial lung
          disease and/or pneumonia, or pulmonary hypertension, or radiation pneumonia
          requiring glucocorticoid treatment.

-

       6. Patients with chronic gastrointestinal dysfunction mainly manifested as
          diarrhea, such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, malabsorption, or
          diarrhea of grade ≥ 1; intestinal obstruction, or other gastrointestinal
          diseases judged to be clinically significant by the investigator.

-

       7. Patients with known coagulation disorders such as bleeding tendency; or
          patients who need to use anticoagulants, which may affect the intramuscular
          injection of fulvestrant or the use of LHRH agonists.

-

       8. Patients with known hypersensitivity or intolerance to all investigational
          drugs or their excipients, or any components of LHRH agonists (if applicable).

-

       9. Patients with a history of autoimmune diseases (except tuberous sclerosis), a
          history of immunodeficiency diseases (including positive HIV test), or other
          acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases, or a history of organ
          transplantation.
