Neoadjuvant Camrelizumab Plus Chemotherapy in Triple Negative Breast Cancer

A Phase Ⅱ Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Camrelizumab Plus Chemotherapy as Neoadjuvant Therapy With Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Camrelizumab plus chemotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy and Camrelizumab as adjuvant therapy in participants who have triple negative breast cancer (TNBC).

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Camrelizumab; Drug: Doxorubicin; Drug: Cyclophosphamide; Drug: Docetaxel

Detailed Description

After a screening phase of approximately 28 days, each participant will receive neoadjuvant study treatment (camrelizumab + chemotherapy) for approximately 24 weeks (8 cycles). Each participant will then undergo definitive surgery 2-4 weeks after the last cycle of the neoadjuvant treatment. After definitive surgery, each participant will receive adjuvant study treatment (camrelizumab) for approximately 27 weeks (9 cycles). Following adjuvant study treatment, each participant will be monitored for safety, survival and disease recurrence.

The primary study hypothesis is that camrelizumab is superior to chemotherapy, in combination with chemotherapy, as measured by the rate of Pathological Complete Response (pCR), Event-free Survival (EFS) and Objective Overall Response Rate (ORR) in participants with TNBC.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Event-Free Survival (EFS)	EFS is defined as the time from start of study treatment to any of the following events: progression of disease that precludes surgery, local or distant recurrence, second primary malignancy (breast or other cancers) or death due to any cause.	Up to approximately 2 years
Objective Overall Response Rate (ORR)	ORR was defined as percentage of participants with best (confirmed) overall response (BOR) of either CR or PR. ORR was assessed by the investigator according to RECIST version 1.1 and is based on BOR, which is defined as best response recorded from start of study treatment until definitive surgery or disease progression.	[Time Frame: Up to approximately 12-30 weeks]
Overall survival (OS)	OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Participants without documented death at the time of the analysis will be censored at the date of the last follow-up.	Up to approximately 2 years
Adverse events (AEs)	AEs were graded according to the National Cancer Institute's Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. In general, AEs are graded according to the following: Grade 1 Mild AE Grade 2 Moderate AE Grade 3 Severe AE Grade 4 Life-threatening or disabling AE Grade 5 Death related to AE. The type, grade and frequency of AEs will be reported.	Up to approximately 35 weeks

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
