Neoadjuvant Toripalimab Plus SBRT for Chemo-Resistant Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Sponsor: Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether a "rescue" strategy can turn chemotherapy-resistant triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) into a curable state. Patients whose tumors fail to shrink after 2 cycles of standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy will receive a short, high-precision course of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT, 24 Gy in 3 daily fractions) to the breast primary tumor, followed by 4 cycles of toripalimab (an anti-PD-1 antibody) combined with albumin-bound paclitaxel plus carboplatin. The main questions are: Can this SBRT-immuno-chemo triplet raise the pathologic complete response (pCR; no invasive cancer in breast or nodes at surgery)? Can it produce an objective radiologic response (ORR) in at least half of the patients, allowing more breast-conserving operations and fewer mastectomies? Secondary objectives include safety, changes in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), event-free survival, and exploratory biomarkers (whole-exome and RNA-seq, PBMC immunoprofiling) to discover signatures of benefit. Participants will undergo image-guided core biopsies before and after SBRT, provide serial blood samples, and have definitive surgery 3-5 weeks after the last cycle.
