Pre-surgery serplulimab with weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin for triple-negative breast cancer

NEOadjuvant SERplulimab Plus Weekly PaclitaxEl and carboplatiN in Triple-negative Breast Cancer: a Prospective, Single-arm, Multicenter, Phase 2 Clinical Trial

PHASE2 · RenJi Hospital · NCT07283692

This trial tests whether adding serplulimab to weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin before surgery helps people with triple-negative breast cancer respond better to treatment.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, open-label, multicenter phase 2 trial giving serplulimab together with weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin in the neoadjuvant setting for triple-negative breast cancer. It enrolls adult women (18–70) with histologically confirmed ER <10%, PR <10%, and HER2-negative tumors who have at least one evaluable lesion and ECOG performance status 0–1. Patients receive the combination regimen prior to surgery and are monitored for safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity with imaging and pathology assessments. The study is led by RenJi Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Women aged 18 to 70 with non-metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (ER and PR <10%, HER2 negative), at least one measurable lesion, ECOG 0–1, and adequate organ function are the intended participants.

Not a fit: Patients with metastatic (stage IV) disease, hormone receptor–positive or HER2‑positive tumors, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or those unable to tolerate chemotherapy are unlikely to benefit from this neoadjuvant approach.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, adding serplulimab could increase the chance the tumor disappears before surgery and improve long-term outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies combining PD‑1/PD‑L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple‑negative breast cancer have shown improved pathological complete response rates, supporting this approach.
