What this trial studies

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of Cadonilimab, a bispecific antibody targeting PD-1 and CTLA-4, combined with chemotherapy for patients with recurrent or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). It is a multicenter, single-arm, phase II trial designed to enroll 27 patients who have received limited prior chemotherapy. The study aims to determine if this combination therapy can improve clinical outcomes compared to standard treatments. The trial follows a Simon two-stage design to assess the treatment's effectiveness and safety profile.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new effective option for patients with advanced triple-negative breast cancer.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar combination therapies, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
