Overview

Capecitabine + pyrotinib is an oral combination therapy used primarily for the treatment of HER2-positive advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Capecitabine is a prodrug of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), functioning as an antimetabolite that inhibits DNA synthesis in rapidly dividing tumor cells. Pyrotinib is a small-molecule, irreversible pan-ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR/HER1), HER2, and HER4. The combination has demonstrated significant efficacy in patients previously treated with taxanes, anthracyclines, and/or trastuzumab, improving progression-free survival and overall response rates compared to other regimens such as lapatinib plus capecitabine. It has been conditionally approved in China for this indication and recommended as a second-line treatment by the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology[1][2][6][7][10].
