Heat-and-freeze therapy plus immunotherapy aims to turn liver tumors into cancer-fighting vaccines

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Triple-negative breast cancer : 1. Clinically or pathologically confirmed triple-negative breast cancer(triple-negative defined as\<1% nuclear staining for ER and PR expression and HER2 negative); 2. Patients who have failed standard second-line drug therapy(including those who have failed PD-1 monoclonal antibody therapy, with progression within six months of adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy considered as first-line therapy failure). 3. Melanoma : 1. Clinically or pathologically confirmed melanoma liver metastasis, with inoperable or intolerable liver lesions or refusal of surgical resection; 2. Patients who have failed standard first-line drug therapy. Exclusion Criteria: i. Common exclusion criteria for all cohorts: 1. Patients with known allergy or suspected allergy to the study drugs or similar drugs; 2. Patients who have participated in another clinical study and received at least one treatment within 4 weeks prior to enrollment; 3. History or concurrent presence of other malignant tumors(except for cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin,superficial bladder cancer,carcinoma in situ of the cervix,and papillary thyroid carcinoma); 4.

Symptomatic central nervous system(CNS)metastases,or other evidence indicating that the CNS metastases have not been controlled,and deemed unsuitable for enrollment by the investigator; 6. Patients who have previously undergone organ or bone marrow transplantation; 7. Uncontrollable pleural effusion,pericardial effusion,or ascites causing respiratory syndrome(≥CTCAE grade 2 dyspnea); 8. Esophageal(gastric fundus)variceal rupture bleeding within the last month; 9.

Patients who have received systemic drug therapy,radiotherapy,or local liver treatment,with a time interval of less than 1 month since the last systemic treatment or local liver treatment; 13. Patients who have received immunotherapy and experienced grade 3 or higher immune-related adverse events(irAEs)(except for thyroid function abnormalities,blood sugar abnormalities); 14. Active or uncontrolled severe infections(≥CTCAE grade 2 infections); 15. Any other disease,clinically significant metabolic abnormalities,physical examination abnormalities,or laboratory test abnormalities that,in the investigator's judgment,may have a disease or condition that makes the patient unsuitable for the study drug,or may affect the interpretation of the study results,or may place the patient at high risk; 16. Pregnant or breastfeeding women,or women of childbearing age with a positive baseline pregnancy test; 17. Known human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)infection;known clinically significant liver disease history,including viral hepatitis\[known carriers of hepatitis B virus(HBV)must exclude active HBV infection,i.e.,HBV DNA positive(\>1×10\^4 copies/mL or\>2000 IU/mL);known hepatitis C virus(HCV)infection and HCV RNA positive(\>1×10\^3 copies/mL),or other hepatitis,cirrhosis; 18. Patients with severe heart,lung,liver,or kidney dysfunction,irreversible coagulation disorders,or other uncontrolled diseases(including hypertension or diabetes,active infections,mental illness,or social conditions that may affect patient compliance); 19. Other factors that may affect patient safety or trial compliance as judged by the investigator. ii. Additional exclusion criteria for each cohort: 1. Colorectal Cancer : a) Patients with uncontrolled hypertension, defined as: patients with hypertension that cannot be well-controlled with a single antihypertensive agent (SBP ≥150 mmHg or DBP ≥100 mmHg); or patients who require two or more antihypertensive medications to control blood pressure. b）Patients with urine dipstick proteinuria ≥2+ and a 24-hour urinary protein level \>1.0 g. c）Patients with gastrointestinal diseases such as active gastric or duodenal ulcers, ulcerative colitis, or active bleeding from an unresected tumor; or other conditions judged by the investigator as potentially causing gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation. d）Patients with evidence or history of a significant bleeding tendency within 3 months prior to enrollment (e.g., bleeding \>30 mL, hematemesis, melena, hematochezia), hemoptysis (\>5 mL of fresh blood within 4 weeks), or a thromboembolic event (including stroke and/or transient ischemic attack) within the past 12 months. e）Patients with clinically significant cardiovascular disease, including but not limited to, acute myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina, or coronary artery bypass grafting within 6 months prior to enrollment. f）Congestive heart failure of New York Heart Association (NYHA) class \> II; ventricular arrhythmias requiring medication; or an ECG showing a QTc interval ≥480 milliseconds. g）Patients who are unable to take fruquintinib orally. 2.
