This trial tests whether a new cancer drug called BL-M07D1, combined with pertuzumab, works better or as well as standard chemotherapy for advanced HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread or come back. HER2-positive means the cancer cells have high levels of a protein called HER2, which makes them grow faster.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05969171RecruitingPhase 2

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for first-line?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 406 recruiting first-line studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a first-line trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a first-line trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
