What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of the combination therapy of utidelone and capecitabine in the treatment of brain metastases from triple-negative advanced breast cancer, and to search for systemic treatment for brain metastases from triple-negative advanced breast cancer cases.

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Age ≥18 years old;
2. Invasive breast cancer confirmed by histological or cytological examination, accompanied by metastatic disease; Patients with metastatic diseases not confirmed by pathology or cytology should obtain clear evidence of metastasis through physical examination or radiological research;
3. Based on the pathological report of recent biopsy or other pathological specimens (confirmed by the laboratory of the participating research center), the histology and/or cytology are confirmed as triple negative breast cancer. The specific requirements include: a) the definition of negative human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2): the immunohistochemistry (IHC) is 0 or 1+; If IHC was 2+, it was confirmed negative by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). B) Negative estrogen and progesterone receptors means that IHC examination shows ER \< 10% and or PR \< 10%, and the researcher evaluates that patients cannot benefit from endocrine therapy.
4. Newly diagnosed brain metastases or brain metastases that have progressed after local treatment: patients with brain metastases who met all the criteria of this scheme before starting from September 1, 2023 and did not meet all the exclusion criteria can also be included;
5. Patients must have measurable central nervous system diseases, defined as at least one brain parenchymal lesion, which can be accurately measured in at least one dimension through local radiological examination; And there is no central nervous system symptom or symptom controllable, so radiotherapy is not needed urgently.
6. Patients who have previously received at least one taxane and/or one anthracycline antibiotic (as a treatment history of neoadjuvant therapy, adjuvant therapy or metastatic therapy or both);
7. Allow (new) adjuvant therapy to have recurrence and metastasis after stopping using Utterone and/or Capecitabine for more than one year, or stop taking drugs for non-progressive reasons in the rescue stage;
8. The physical status score (ECOGPS) of the eastern cancer cooperative group is 0-2, and the life expectancy is more than 12 weeks;
9. Normal organ and bone marrow function; Blood routine examination was basically normal within one week before joining the group (based on the normal laboratory of each research center): neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5× 109/L; Hemoglobin (HB) ≥ 90g/L; Platelet count (PLT) ≥ 75× 109/L; Liver and kidney function tests were basically normal within one week before enrollment (based on the normal values of laboratories in each research center): total bilirubin (TBIL)≤1.5× upper limit of normal value (ULN); Alanine aminotransferase (SGPT/ALT)≤2.5×ULN (patients with liver metastasis ≤ 5 XULN); Aspartate aminotransferase (SGOT/AST)≤2.5× upper limit of normal value (ULN); Creatinine clearance rate (Ccr)≥60ml/min.
10. Neuropathy should be \< grade 2 within 4 weeks before enrollment (version 5.0 of ncictcae);
11. No major organ dysfunction and no heart disease;
12. Women and male patients with reproductive potential must agree to use appropriate contraceptive measures before the start of the study and during the study participation.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Patients with extensive meningeal metastasis and brain metastasis who are ineffective in dehydration treatment with hormones or in urgent need of radiotherapy;
2. Invasive breast cancer confirmed by histological or cytological examination, accompanied by metastatic disease; Patients with metastatic diseases not confirmed by pathology or cytology should obtain clear evidence of metastasis through physical examination or radiological research;
3. Received chemotherapy, major surgery, targeted therapy or immunotherapy within 2 weeks before joining the group (the interval between targeted therapy and immunotherapy is at least 2 weeks or at least 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter); Received endocrine therapy within 1 week before joining the group; He had received nitrosourea or mitomycin chemotherapy within 6 weeks before joining the group;
4. Receive unlisted clinical trial drugs within 4 weeks before entering the group;
5. Previous history of grade 3 or 4 allergic reactions related to Utterone or Capecitabine;
6. inability to swallow, chronic diarrhea and intestinal obstruction, there are many factors that affect the taking and absorption of drugs;
7. Known contraindications for gadolinium MRI contrast agents, such as pacemakers, shrapnel or ocular foreign bodies;
8. Suffering from other malignant tumors in the past 3 years, excluding cured cervical carcinoma in situ, basal cell carcinoma of skin, squamous cell carcinoma of skin or early thyroid carcinoma;
9. Seizures occurred more than 2 times within 4 weeks before joining the group;
10. Poor control of hypertension; Or have a history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy;
11. Have a history of bleeding in the central nervous system of grade 3 or above within 12 months;
12. Suffering from serious or uncontrollable diseases, including but not limited to: 1) active virus infection, such as HIV and HBV active phase (HbsAg positive and HBV-DNA≥103, hepatitis C antibody positive); 2) Suffering from severe cardiovascular disease in the past: uncontrollable hypertension; Myocardial infarction, unstable arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, pericarditis, myocarditis, etc. According to NYHA criteria, patients with grade Ⅲ \~ Ⅳ cardiac insufficiency, or those with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 50% indicated by echocardiography; 12. Suffering from serious or uncontrollable diseases, including but not limited to: 1) active virus infection, such as HIV and HBV active phase (HbsAg positive and HBV-DNA≥103, hepatitis C antibody positive); 2) Suffering from severe cardiovascular disease in the past: uncontrollable hypertension; Myocardial infarction, unstable arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, pericarditis, myocarditis, etc. According to NYHA criteria, patients with grade Ⅲ \~ Ⅳ ca
