Study summary

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) presents significant challenges due to its limited treatment options and poor efficacy. While neoadjuvant chemotherapy has improved breast-conserving rates and extended survival for TNBC patients, this subtype still faces issues such as restricted treatment modalities, low pathological response rates, and unfavorable prognosis compared to other subtypes. Studies like Keynote522 and IMpassion031 have shown that combining chemotherapy with immunotherapy yields a pCR rate of 64.8% in early-stage high-risk TNBC patients, suggesting that such combinations can offer substantial benefits. However, the low immunogenicity of breast cancer and the lack of clear predictive molecular markers for effective immunotherapy result in suboptimal pCR and objective response rates for this group. Radiotherapy has systemic immune regulatory effects by promoting the release of antigens from tumor cells, enhancing T-cell infiltration, and directly killing tumor cells. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic radiotherapy combined with PD-1 inhibitors and chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant treatment of TNBC.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • 1. Patients with a history of mental illness or those diagnosed with mental disorders at the time of enrollment in the clinical trial.
  • 2. Patients with communication barriers due to confusion, aphasia, intellectual disability, or other reasons that prevent them from responding normally.
  • 3. Poorly controlled tumor-related pain.
  • 4. Patients participating in other clinical studies simultaneously.
  • 5. Patients with active or past autoimmune diseases or immunodeficiencies, including but not limited to myasthenia gravis, myositis, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, antiphospholipid syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis, Sjögren's syndrome, Guillain-Barré syndrome, or multiple sclerosis.
  • 6. A history of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia (such as obliterative bronchiolitis), drug-induced pneumonia, or idiopathic pneumonia, or evidence of active pneumonia on chest CT scans at screening.
  • 7. Active pulmonary tuberculosis.
  • 8. Severe cardiovascular diseases occurring within 3 months prior to the start of study treatment (e.g., NYHA class II or higher heart disease, myocardial infarction, or cerebrovascular accident), unstable arrhythmias, or unstable angina.
  • 9. Patients who underwent significant surgical procedures, other than diagnostic surgeries, within 4 weeks prior to the start of the study treatment, or are expected to require significant surgical procedures during the study period.
  • 10. Patients who had malignant tumors other than breast cancer within the last 5 years, except for malignancies in the study that have negligible risks of metastasis or death (e.g., a 5-year overall survival rate > 90%), such as adequately treated cervical carcinoma in situ, non-melanoma skin cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ, or stage I uterine cancer.
  • 11. Patients who experienced severe infections within 4 weeks prior to the start of the study treatment, including but not limited to those requiring hospitalization due to infections, bacteremia, severe pneumonia, or any active infection that may impact patient safety.
  • 12. Patients who have previously received allogeneic stem cell or solid organ transplants.
  • 13. Any other diseases, metabolic dysfunctions, physical examination abnormalities, or clinical laboratory abnormalities that contraindicate the use of the study drug, may affect the interpretation of results, or pose a high risk of treatment complications for the patient.
