About this trial

Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Injection (QL1706) is a bifunctional combination antibody targeting both programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4). This is a prospective clinical study that plans to enroll screened, eligible early-stage breast-cancer patients to receive neoadjuvant QL1706 plus chemotherapy (four cycles of TP ± four cycles of AC). After the four TP cycles, imaging and core biopsy will be performed. Patients who achieve radiologic complete response will proceed directly to surgery; those who do not will receive four additional AC cycles before surgery. A key feature is the incorporation of an response-guided neoadjuvant therapy(RGN)model to identify sensitive patients who can forgo anthracyclines, thereby reducing long-term cardiotoxicity.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Voluntarily join this study, sign the informed consent form, and demonstrate good compliance;

Age: 18-75 years old (at the time of signing the informed consent form);

ECOG PS score: 0-1; expected survival time exceeding 6 months;

Patients with primary breast cancer confirmed by histopathological or cytological examination;

Disqualifiers

Patients with stage IV metastatic breast cancer or other patients deemed by the investigator as unable to achieve curative surgical resection through neoadjuvant therapy;

Patients with inflammatory breast cancer;

Patients who have had or currently have other malignancies within the past 3 years. The following two conditions may be eligible: other malignancies treated with a single surgical procedure, achieving continuous 5-year disease-free survival (DFS); cured cervical carcinoma in situ, non-melanoma skin cancer, and superficial bladder tumors [Ta (non-invasive tumor), Tis (carcinoma in situ), and T1 (tumor invading the basement membrane)];

Breast cancer patients who have received antitumor therapies such as chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, or immune checkpoint inhibitors within the past 3 years, or who have undergone breast surgery (except diagnostic biopsy for primary breast cancer);

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • QL1706 combined with Chemotherapy

    Drug

    Participants receive QL1706 every 3 weeks (Q3W) + Albumin-bound paclitaxel every 3 weeks (Q3W) + Cisplatin (Q3W) x 4 cycles. After the four TP cycles, imaging and core biopsy will be performed. Patients who achieve radiologic complete response will proceed directly to surgery; those who do not will receive QL1706 Q3W + epirubicin Q3W + cyclophosphamide Q3W x 4 cycles as neoadjuvant therapy before surgery.
