Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of PD-L1 Monoclonal Antibody Combined With VEX Metronomic Chemotherapy and Concurrent or Delayed Radiotherapy in Patients With Advanced HER2-Negative Breast Cancer With Brain Metastasis

1. Males or females who are at least 18 years of age on the day of signing the informed consent form.

2. Patients with metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer brain metastasis, with clear clinical documentation; specific criteria refer to the guidelines of the American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists (ASCO/CAP).

3. Patients who have received no more than one line of chemotherapy during the metastatic stage of breast cancer.

4. Patients with brain metastasis should not require immediate local therapy during the trial and meet at least one of the following criteria:

1. The patient has not previously received intracranial radiotherapy.

2. The patient has not previously undergone surgery for intracranial metastases; if surgery was performed, the surgical lesion is not the target for the planned radiotherapy, or it is the target lesion and has recurred after surgery.

5. The patient must have at least one measurable intracranial lesion, with the longest diameter baseline accurately measurable by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as ≥10 mm and suitable for precise repeated measurement according to RECIST 1.1 in combination with RANO criteria. Measurable extracranial lesions are not required.

6. Patients with suspected or confirmed leptomeningeal metastasis should be excluded.

7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1, assessed within 10 days before the start of study treatment.

8. Patients may have previously received anthracycline (e.g., doxorubicin, epirubicin) and/or taxane (e.g., paclitaxel, docetaxel) therapy, specifically including:

1. Before breast cancer recurrence, the patient received anthracycline and/or taxane during adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment.

2. The patient experienced treatment failure during or after anthracycline and/or taxane-based chemotherapy.

3. In the judgment of the investigator, the patient is not suitable for anthracycline and/or taxane-based chemotherapy as a first-line treatment regimen.

9. Female patients are not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and agree to use necessary contraceptive measures.

10. The patient is able to sign the informed consent form to participate in the study.

11. The patient has adequate organ function, as detailed in Table 1 of the study protocol; all screening laboratory tests should be completed within 10 days before the start of study treatment.
