The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of toripalimab combined with radiochemotherapy as perioperative therapy in HER2-negative breast cancer patients insensitive to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
This was a multicohort, single-center exploratory clinical study. Eligible patients were initially administered standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy (TAC or TE regimen). Efficacy assessment was performed after 2 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and only those evaluated as stable disease (SD) were formally enrolled. Enrolled patients were stratified into the HR-positive group and the triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) group, with each group further divided into 3 arms receiving the following treatments respectively:
* Cohort 1: Continued the original neoadjuvant chemotherapy for 4 cycles, followed by surgical treatment within 5 weeks for eligible patients.
* Cohort 2: Received the original neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen plus toripalimab for 4 cycles, followed by surgery within 5 weeks; toripalimab monotherapy was continued for an additional 13 cycles postoperatively.
* Cohort 3: Received the original neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen plus toripalimab for 4 cycles combined with concurrent stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT, 25Gy/5f), followed by surgery within 5 weeks; toripalimab monotherapy was continued for an additional 13 cycles postoperatively.
