Goal: To assess the efficacy and safety of combining PCS6422, an investigational DPD inhibitor, with capecitabine in patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer who are ineligible for anthracycline, taxane, or other available therapies.

Patients: Adults with unresectable, advanced or metastatic breast cancer, including both triple-negative and hormone receptor positive/HER2 negative subtypes, who have measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 and who are not candidates for standard anthracycline, taxane, PD-1, or PARP inhibitor therapies. Patients must have received prior chemotherapy in the metastatic setting and have adequate organ function.

Design: This is an adaptive, multi-center, open-label, phase 2 randomized trial. Eligible patients are randomized to one of up to two investigational regimens of PCS6422 with capecitabine or to standard capecitabine monotherapy.

Treatments: Two regimens of the investigational combination (PCS6422 with capecitabine at varying doses) are being evaluated against standard capecitabine dosed at 1000 mg/m² BID. PCS6422 is an oral, irreversible inhibitor of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD). By inhibiting DPD, PCS6422 decreases catabolism of 5-FU (the active metabolite of capecitabine), thereby increasing 5-FU exposure and potentially enhancing anti-tumor activity while reducing toxic metabolites. In prior phase 1b studies (in gastrointestinal cancers), this combination produced disease control in 66.7% of evaluable patients and showed a favorable safety profile, with mainly grade 1 toxicities and no hand-foot syndrome.

Outcomes: Primary endpoints are objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1 and the incidence of adverse events across treatment arms. Secondary endpoints include disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DOR), time to response (TTR), and progression-free survival (PFS), all assessed up to 24 weeks post end of treatment.

Burden on patient: The burden on patients is expected to be moderate, similar to other phase 2 studies of oral chemotherapy. Participation involves regular clinic visits for assessments and imaging per RECIST protocol, standard lab monitoring, and adverse event review. As PCS6422 is oral and does not require additional invasive procedures or frequent pharmacokinetic sampling in this protocol, patient inconvenience is minimized. Those requiring travel will do so at typical intervals for cancer clinical trials (e.g., every 3 months for imaging), with no extraordinary testing schedules described.
