Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Women aged 18–70 with confirmed HER2-negative, stage II–III invasive breast cancer planned for neoadjuvant therapy and eligible for SBRT are suitable candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with contraindications to immunotherapy or chemotherapy, those with distant metastasis, or tumors not fitting SBRT criteria may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This prospective, multicenter, randomized Phase II trial compares neoadjuvant chemotherapy with immunotherapy (Adebrelimab) alone versus chemotherapy with immunotherapy plus radiotherapy in adults with HER2-negative, stage II–III breast cancer. Eligible patients will undergo neoadjuvant treatment with the goal of downstaging the tumor to enable breast-conserving surgery. The study will assess safety and efficacy, including tumor response and surgical outcomes, in the preoperative setting. Eligibility requirements include confirmed HER2-negative status per ASCO/CAP guidelines, no distant metastasis, and adequate organ function. Enrollment is at the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing and involves a lead sponsor with no listed collaborators.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the regimen could increase tumor shrinkage before surgery and improve breast-conserving surgery rates for this patient population.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies using immunotherapy in combination with chemotherapy have shown promise in breast cancer, but results vary and this specific neoadjuvant approach is still being explored.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Female patients aged between 18 and 70 years old. 2.

Clinical stage II-III, patients who are planned to undergo neoadjuvant treatment to downstage for surgery or who wish to have breast-conserving surgery after neoadjuvant treatment. 5. The breast tumor is suitable for SBRT (stereotactic body radiotherapy) (tumor distance from the skin \> 5 mm, without invasion of the ribs or intercostal muscles). 6. No distant metastasis detected by clinical examination combined with imaging studies (including but not limited to liver ultrasound, chest CT, bone scan, PET-CT). 7.

Capable of undergoing breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Eligible for follow-up conditions. 9. The subject is able to sign the informed consent form to participate in the study. 10. Women of childbearing age are not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and are using effective contraception. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior receipt of chest radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy. 2. History of other malignancies, with the exception of adequately treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or papillary thyroid cancer. 3.

QT interval prolongation at rest (QTc \> 450 msec in males or \> 470 msec in females); iii. Acute coronary syndrome, congestive heart failure, aortic dissection, stroke, or other Grade 3 or higher cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events within 6 months prior to the first dose; iv.
