New combo aims to turn Chemo-Resistant breast cancer curable
NCT ID NCT07457359
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new approach for people with triple-negative breast cancer whose tumors don't shrink after standard chemotherapy. Participants receive targeted radiation to the tumor followed by immunotherapy (toripalimab) plus more chemo. The goal is to see if this combination can eliminate all cancer before surgery, allowing more patients to have breast-conserving surgery instead of mastectomy.

Inclusion Criteria: * Female, age 18-75 years, newly diagnosed invasive breast cancer. * Histologically confirmed triple-negative phenotype: ER \< 1 %, PR \< 1 % by IHC, HER2 negative (IHC 0/1+ or IHC 2+ with ISH negative). * Clinical stage II-III (T2-4 or N1-3, M0). * Completed 2 cycles of standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy (taxane ± anthracycline ± platinum) and assessed as non-responder: stable disease (SD) or progressive disease (PD) by RECIST 1.1. * ECOG performance status 0 or 1. * Radiation oncologist confirms suitability for SBRT and subsequent standard post-operative radiotherapy. * Adequate organ function within 14 days before enrollment: WBC ≥ 2 000/µL, ANC ≥ 1 500/µL, platelets ≥ 100 000/µL, Hb ≥ 9 g/dL; Serum creatinine ≤ 2 mg/dL or GFR ≥ 40 mL/min; AST/ALT ≤ 2.5 × ULN, total bilirubin ≤ ULN (≤ 3 mg/dL if Gilbert syndrome); INR ≤ 1.5 (on anticoagulation allowed if therapeutic range) * Negative HIV, HBV surface antigen, and HCV antibody (or HBV DNA / HCV RNA negative if false-positive). Exclusion Criteria: * Inflammatory breast cancer. * Any other malignancy requiring treatment within the past 3 years (except adequately treated basal-cell skin carcinoma or cervical CIS). * Active autoimmune disease, immunodeficiency, or systemic steroids \> 10 mg/day prednisone equivalent within 2 years. * Clinically significant cardiovascular disease (unstable angina, NYHA III/IV heart failure, recent MI). * Prior radiotherapy to the breast or chest wall. * Active infection requiring systemic therapy. * Known intolerance or hypersensitivity to toripalimab, paclitaxel, or carboplatin. * Pregnant or lactating women.
