a phase ii study of chiauranib in combine with capecitabine in tnbc

Conditions: Triple-negative Breast Cancer

Summary: this study is to evaluate the preliminary efficacy and safety of chiauranib in combine with capecitabine in advanced triple-negative breast cancer failed to prior anthracyclines and taxanes therapy

chiauranib is a novel orally active multi-target inhibitor that simultaneously inhibits the angiogenesis-related kinases (vegfr2, vegfr1, vegfr3,pdgfra and c-kit), mitosis-related kinase aurora b and chronic inflammationrelated kinase csf-1r in a high potency manner with the ic50 at a single-digit nanomolar range. in particular, chiauranib showed very high selectivity in the kinase inhibition profile with little activity on off-target nonreceptor kinases, proteins, gpcr and ion channels, indicative of a better drug safety profile in terms of clinical relevance. this study including two phases: (1) dose-escalation , this phase using a 3+3design，9-18 patients will be enrolled and receive 25mg/35mg/50mg chiauranib and 1000mg/m2 capecitabine q3w. (2) dose-expansion，about 20 patients will be enrolled and receive the mtd dose of chiauranib and 1000mg/m2 capecitabine q3w. this study also to explore the pk variation and gene expression via blood samples
