Summary

This study tests whether adding the drug QL1706 to standard chemotherapy before surgery can completely eliminate triple-negative breast cancer in 30 patients with stage II or III disease. Participants receive the combination in two phases over about 8 months, then have surgery. The main goal is to see how many have no cancer left at that point.
