Neoadjuvant Therapy Combined With Trastuzumab Rezetecan and Toripalimab for HR+/HER2-low Breast Cancer (NEOTORCH-BREAST 08)

January 26, 2026 updated by: First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University

A Prospective, Multigroup, Multi-center, Open-label Clinical Study of Trastuzumab Rezetecan as Neoadjuvant Therapy Combined With Toripalimab in HR+/HER2-low Breast Cancer Patients (NEOTORCH-BREAST 08)

This study is a prospective, multi-cohort, multicenter, open-label exploratory clinical trial. The primary study objective is to evaluate the pathologic complete response (PCR) of treatment of HR+/HER2-low breast cancer with neoadjuvant therapy combined with Trastuzumab Rezetecan and Toripalimab , including the incidences and types of adverse events. The secondary endpoints include event-free survival (EFS), residual cancer burden (RCB), and objective response rate (ORR).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Pathological testing for PD-L1 expression: The Combined Positive Score (CPS) is the percentage of PD-L1-positive cells (including tumor cells, lymphocytes, and macrophages) among the total number of tumor cells. The PD-L1 antibody clone used for detection at our center is 22C3. No prior anti-cancer treatment.

  6. Voluntarily join this study, sign an informed consent form, have good compliance, and are willing to cooperate with follow-up.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Stage IV breast cancer.
  2. Inflammatory breast cancer.
  3. Previously received anti-tumor treatment or radiation therapy for any malignant tumor, excluding those that have been cured Malignant tumors such as cervical carcinoma in situ, basal cell carcinoma, or squamous cell carcinoma.
  4. Simultaneously undergoing anti-tumor treatment in other clinical trials, including but not limited to chemotherapy and endocrine therapy. Treatment, biological therapy, bone improvement drug therapy, or immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, etc.
  5. The patient had undergone major surgical procedures unrelated to breast cancer within 4 weeks before the first administration of the study drug, or the patient has not fully recovered from such surgical procedures.
  6. Serious heart disease or discomfort.
  7. Uncontrolled active infections that require treatment; History of immunodeficiency, including HIV testing positive Sexual, or suffering from other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases, or having a history of organ transplantation.
  8. Patients with chronic active hepatitis B or active hepatitis C
  9. Have received immunotherapy and experienced adverse immune events such as immune related pneumonia and myocarditis, which have been determined by researchers to potentially affect the safety of the experimental medication.
  10. Individuals with a known history of allergies to the components of this medication regimen.
