Official title
A Prospective, Randomized Controlled, Multicenter Phase II Clinical Study of Toripalimab Combined With PCb-EC Regimen (Albumin Paclitaxel + Carboplatin Followed by Epirubicin + Cyclophosphamide) or PCb Regimen (Albumin Paclitaxel + Carboplatin) as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Overview
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a PD-1 inhibitor combined with different chemotherapy regimens (PCb-EC and PCb), in order to develop a superior and well-tolerated neoadjuvant therapeutic strategy for patients with triple-negative breast cancer.
Interventions
- Drug Toripalimab
Toripalimab 240mg every cycle - Drug PCb-EC
Albumin Paclitaxel + Carboplatin\*4 Followed by Epirubicin + Cyclophosphamide\*4 - Drug PCb
Albumin Paclitaxel + Carboplatin \*6

- Event-free survival (EFS) [Time frame: up to 5 years]
- Invasive Disease-Free Survival (IDFS) [Time frame: up to 5 years]
- Overall Survival (OS) [Time frame: up to 5 years]
- Adverse events [Time frame: up to 18 months]

Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Age: 18-70 years.
- Disease Status: Clinical pathological confirmation of cT2-cT4d, or cT1c with axillary lymph node metastasis.
- Pathology: Histopathologically confirmed triple-negative, invasive breast carcinoma.
- Definition of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer:
- ER and PR negative (IHC nuclear staining <10%).
- Her-2 negative (IHC 0 or 1+ without FISH, or IHC 2+ with FISH demonstrating no amplification).
- Measurable Disease: Presence of clinically measurable lesion(s) confirmed by ultrasound, mammography, or optional MRI within 1 month prior to randomization.
- Adequate Organ and Bone Marrow Function (within 1 month prior to chemotherapy), indicating no contraindications for chemotherapy:
- Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L
- Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 90 g/L
- Platelet count (PLT) ≥ 100 × 10⁹/L
- Total Bilirubin (TBIL) < 1.5 × ULN (Upper Limit of Normal)
- Serum Creatinine (Cr) < 1.5 × ULN
- Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) / Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) < 1.5 × ULN
- Cardiac Function: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% as measured by echocardiogram.
- Pregnancy Status: For women of childbearing potential, a negative serum pregnancy test within 14 days prior to randomization.
- Performance Status: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of ≤ 1.
- Informed Consent: Signed informed consent obtained.
Exclusion criteria
- Metastatic Disease: Evidence of metastatic breast cancer. (To exclude metastasis, CT scans of the chest and abdomen, and a bone scan must be performed at any time point from diagnosis to randomization; PET/CT may serve as an alternative imaging modality).
- Prior Anti-Cancer Therapy: Any prior chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, or radiotherapy for the current breast cancer.
- Second Primary Malignancy: Presence of a second primary malignancy, except for:
- Adequately treated non-melanoma skin carcinoma.
- Prior Immunotherapy: Previous treatment with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent, or any other immunomodulatory therapy.
- Immunodeficiency or Autoimmune Disease: Diagnosed immunodeficiency or active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment.
- Severe Comorbidities: Severe or uncontrolled pulmonary or cardiac disease.
- Active Hepatitis: Active Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C infection.
- Transplantation History: History of solid organ or bone marrow transplantation.
- Pregnancy/Lactation: Pregnant or lactating women.
- Other Medical Conditions: Any other severe, uncontrolled medical condition that, in the investigator's judgment, constitutes a contraindication to chemotherapy.
