Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: SRT combined with pyrotinib and capecitabine
SRT: SRT needs to be comprehensively considered based on the size, number, and location of the lesion, and SRS and FSRT are performed according to clinical needs. Pyrotinib:400mg/d,q.d.,p.o. A course of treatment need 21days. Capecitabine:1000mg/m2,bid,from day1-day14, A course of treatment need 21 days. |
Combination Product: radiation combined with pyrotinib and capecitabine
This study selects different radiation (SRT or WBRT) combined with pyrotinib and capecitabine to treat HER2-positive advanced breast cancer patients with brain metastases |
Active Comparator: WBRT combined with pyrotinib and capecitabine
WBRT: WBRT need to be considered based on the size, number, and location of the lesion. Pyrotinib:400mg/d,q.d.,p.o. A course of treatment need 21days. Capecitabine:1000mg/m2,bid,from day1-day14, A course of treatment need 21 days. |
Combination Product: radiation combined with pyrotinib and capecitabine
This study selects different radiation (SRT or WBRT) combined with pyrotinib and capecitabine to treat HER2-positive advanced breast cancer patients with brain metastases |

- Brain metastases within 5 mm of the hippocampus
- There are many factors that affect the administration and absorption of drugs, for example: inability to swallow, chronic diarrhea and intestinal obstruction
- Those who have received chemotherapy, surgical treatment (excluding local puncture) or molecular targeted therapy within 4 weeks before enrollment; those who have received anti-tumor endocrine therapy after the screening period
- Participated in other drug clinical trials within 4 weeks before enrollment
