Summary
Triple-negative breast cancer constitutes 15-20% of cases of breast cancer and is defined by the absence of estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and overexpression or gene amplification of HER2. Although the addition of immune checkpoint inhibitors could improve the outcome of patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC), chemotherapy has been the standard of care for systemic treatment for patients with mTNBC. Prognoses remain poor, with reported median overall survival estimates of approximately 18 months or less with available treatments. A meta-analysis of seven clinical trials showed that the median objective response rate (ORR) of second or later line of chemotherapy in mTNBC was only 11%. Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumor model, which preserves the histologic and genetic characteristics of patients' tumors, has shown its predictive value of clinical outcomes and are used for preclinical drug evaluation, biomarker identification, biological studies, and personalized medicine strategies. However, long time period and low success rate has limited its application in clinical practice. Mini patient derived xenograft (miniPDX) offers an effective alternative as it only takes about 7 days for drug sensitivity test and could thus provide guidance for prompt personalized treatment for each patient. Thus, the investigators conduct this single-center, prospective, randomized controlled clinical study to investigate the efficacy of guided treatment based on Mini-PDX in patients with metastatic refractory triple negative breast cancer.

- 7) A minimum of 2 prior cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens (including at least one line
of platinum-containing regimen) in metastatic settings are required prior to
enrollment in this trial;

- 8) Adequate organ function, i.e. meeting the following criteria.

AST ≤ 3×ULN.

3. serum Cr ≤ 1.5×ULN.

- 9) Subjects voluntarily joined the study, signed the informed consent form, were
compliant and cooperated with the follow-up.

Exclusion Criteria:
