What this trial studies

This clinical trial is an open-label, single-arm study evaluating the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, in combination with radiotherapy for patients diagnosed with early triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The study will enroll 60 female participants aged 18 to 75 years who meet specific eligibility criteria related to their cancer subtype and treatment plans. The trial aims to explore the impact of this combination therapy on invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) and to provide personalized treatment options based on the characteristics of TNBC subtypes. Conducted at the Cancer Hospital of Jiangxi province, this multi-center study seeks to establish a collaborative approach to breast cancer treatment.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are female patients aged 18 to 75 with a confirmed diagnosis of early triple-negative breast cancer.

Not a fit: Patients with non-triple-negative breast cancer or those who do not meet the specific eligibility criteria will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve outcomes for patients with early triple-negative breast cancer by enhancing the effectiveness of radiotherapy.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy in various cancers, suggesting potential success for this novel approach in TNBC.

Subjects with vitiligo or adults who have had childhood asthma but have fully relieved without any intervention may be included. However, subjects who require bronchodilators for medical intervention cannot be included.)
5. Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (i.e. with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (eg., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment.
