Study summary

This is a prospective, open-label, single-center, phase II, randomized controlled clinical trial involving patients with triple-negative breast cancer who meet the criteria for neoadjuvant chemotherapy (T > 2 cm, N+). The study aims to further validate the sensitizing effect and safety of Thymalfasin in combination with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and immunotherapy by comparing the 3-year event-free survival (EFS) and IFNγ elevation rates between the group receiving Thymalfasin in combinatione with standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy and immunotherapy and the control group receiving standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy and immunotherapy alone.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. EFS

    From randomization to the occurrence of any predefined event (such as disease progression, relapse, death, discontinuation due to toxicity, or change of treatment regimen)

    Time frame: 3 years

  2. Interferon-gamma (IFNγ) elevation rate

    IFNγ Increase Rate = (Preoperative Serum IFNγ - Baseline Serum IFNγ) / Baseline Serum IFNγ × 100%

    Time frame: 3 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. pCR

    Pathological Complete Response Rate

    Time frame: 3 years

  2. OS

    Overall survival is defined as the time from randomization to death from any reason

    Time frame: 3 years

  3. Safety

    Assess the safety of the treatment according to CTCAE 5.0

    Time frame: 3 years

Timeline

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Nov 2026; primary completion for Nov 2029, 35 months later.

Of 983 non-industry phase 2 interventional studies under Breast Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 54 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 34 and three quarters within 85. This study's planned 35 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 1,201 studies reached it within 49 months; a quarter within 31 and three quarters within 80.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
