About this trial

Our center plans to conduct a prospective, single-arm exploratory clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with Anlotinib and Benmelstobart in the treatment of HR+/HER2- breast cancer. The aim is to further explore the treatment strategy of chemotherapy de-escalation for patients with HR+/HER2- breast cancer, provide more treatment options for breast cancer patients, and offer a potential theoretical basis for the precision treatment of breast cancer.The primary study objective is to evaluate the pathologic complete response(PCR)and RCB0-1 ratio of neodjuvant treatment of HR+/HER2- breast cancer.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Combination with Anlotinib and Benmelstobart

    Drug

    Group A: Epirubicin + cyclophosphamide + Benmelstobart are administered by intravenous drip once every 3 weeks for a total of 2 cycles, followed by nab-paclitaxel + Benmelstobart administered by intravenous drip once every 3 weeks for a total of 2 cycles. During the treatment period, Anlotinib is simultaneously combined. It is taken orally once a day, before breakfast. Take the medicine continuously for two weeks, then stop taking it for one week. One cycle is 21 days, and there are a total of 3 cycles. Group B: Nab-paclitaxel + Benmelstobart are administered by intravenous drip once every 3 weeks for a total of 2 cycles, followed by Epirubicin + cyclophosphamide + Benmelstobart, which are administered by intravenous drip once every 3 weeks for a total of 2 cycles. During the treatment period, Anlotinib is also used in combination. It should be taken orally once a day before breakfast, continuously for two weeks, then stop taking it for one week.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

pathologic complete response(PCR)

The primary study objective is to evaluate the pathologic complete response(PCR) of neoadjuvant treatment of HR+/HER2- breast cancer with Anlotinib and Benmelstobart

Time frame
2 years
2

RCB 0-1 Ratio

In clinical trials comparing different neoadjuvant treatment regimens, the RCB 0 - 1 Ratio is a crucial evaluation indicator. For example, in a study comparing a traditional chemotherapy regimen with a novel targeted combination chemotherapy regimen, by observing the differences in the RCB 0 - 1 Ratio between the two groups of patients, it can be determined which regimen enables more patients to reach the RCB 0 or RCB 1 status, thus providing a basis for selecting a better treatment option.

Time frame
2 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Event Free Survival(EFS)

Event Free Survival (EFS) refers to the time from the start of randomization (the start of treatment in a single-arm trial) to the first occurrence of any of the following events: disease progression that makes surgical treatment impossible, local or distant recurrence, death due to any cause, etc. It can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the drug.
