Emergence of Predictive Metabolomic Biomarkers of Response to Neoadjuvant Chemoimmunotherapy in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.
Sponsor: Centre Antoine Lacassagne
Summary
The goal of this study is to investigate whether specific metabolic profiles can predict response to neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy in patients with stage II and III triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The main objectives are to determine: * whether targeted metabolic pathways, specifically tryptophan and diacetylspermine metabolism, are associated with histological response to neoadjuvant treatment; * whether untargeted metabolomics combined with machine learning approaches can identify novel biomarkers predictive of treatment response. Participants will: * undergo image-guided tumor sampling during the standard-of-care placement of the tumor localization clip, prior to initiation of neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy, in accordance with routine clinical practice at the study center; * provide a blood sample before initiation of neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy; * provide a second blood sample during the course of standard treatment; continue to receive routine clinical care, including imaging assessments and surgical management, according to standard clinical practice. The study does not modify the patient's standard therapeutic management.

Interventions
Blood sampling
Two blood samples will be collected during neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy: one at Cycle 1, Day 1 (C1D1) of Sequence 1, prior to treatment initiation, and one at Cycle 3, Day 1 (C3D1) of Sequence 2, prior to treatment administration. Blood samples will be used for metabolomic analyses of plasma.
Tumor sampling
Two tumor core biopsy samples will be collected under radiological guidance during placement of the localization clip, prior to initiation of neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy, in accordance with standard procedures at the study site. One core will be used for pathological confirmation of tumor tissue and the other will be collected for research purposes and used for subsequent molecular analyses.
