Triple-Drug cocktail aims to stall aggressive breast cancer
NCT ID NCT04537286
First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing whether a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (nab-paclitaxel and cisplatin) plus an immunotherapy drug (camrelizumab) can help people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer live longer without their disease getting worse. The study enrolls women aged 18 to 70 who have not received prior treatment for metastatic disease. Researchers are tracking how long the cancer stays under control and what side effects occur.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a combination of nab-paclitaxel, cisplatin, and camrelizumab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could become a new first-line treatment option for people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, potentially improving how long the disease is kept under control.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-arm phase 2 study, so results may not be confirmed in larger trials. The three-drug combination may also cause more side effects than standard treatments.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Female patients aged 18-70 years who had 2. Metastatic TNBC. ER, PgR, and HER2 status were determined locally by immunohistochemistry (IHC) of patient primary or metastatic tumor sections. Metastatic disease was confirmed by clinical, imaging, histological or cytological measures. 3. Patients were required to receive no previous chemotherapy or targeted therapy for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. 4. Patients who had received adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy were required an interval for at least 6 months after stop of chemotherapy before the enrollment. 5. At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1, 6. ECOG performance status ≤ 1 7. Life expectancy of more than 12 weeks 8. Adequate organ and bone marrow function. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patient of childbearing potential but unwilling to receive contraception. 2. Radiation therapy of axial bone within 4 weeks before enrollment. 3. Previous treatment with PD-1 antibody, PD-L1 antibody and CTLA-4 antibody. 4. Patients have active autoimmune diseases. 5. Patients who need systemic corticosteroids (\> 10 mg prednisone/d) or other immunosuppressive drugs within 14 days before enrollment or during the study period. 6. Symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) disease (patients with asymptomatic treated CNS metastases were permitted) 7. Other malignant diseases within the past 5 years (patients with basal cell skin carcinoma and cervical carcinoma in situ were permitted) 8. Uncontrolled infection.
