  6. Participation in any other investigational drug study within 4 weeks prior to randomization.
  7. Peripheral neuropathy ≥ Grade 2 (per NCI-CTCAE v5.0).

    • Severe uncontrolled arrhythmias,
    • Clinically significant valvular disease,
    • Uncontrolled severe hypertension,
    • Myocardial infarction, or
    • Cerebrovascular accident.
  9. Any severe uncontrolled systemic disease that may interfere with the treatment plan, including significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, or metabolic disorders.
  10. Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to randomization without full recovery, or anticipated need for major surgery during the study treatment.
  11. Systemic corticosteroid use (>10 mg prednisone equivalent daily) or other immunosuppressants within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug (except for prophylactic anti-allergy or antiemetic purposes).

    * Inhaled/topical steroids or physiologic steroid replacement doses (≤10 mg/day prednisone equivalent) are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease.

  12. Administration of anti-cancer vaccines or live vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug.
  13. Active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disorders (e.g., interstitial lung disease, colitis, hepatitis, hypophysitis, vasculitis, nephritis, hyper/hypothyroidism), EXCEPT:

    • Vitiligo,
    • Childhood asthma/allergies resolved without intervention in adulthood,
    • Stable hypothyroidism on hormone replacement,
    • Type 1 diabetes on stable insulin therapy.

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Control
chemotherapy (wP-EC)
Chemotherapy : weely nab-P * 12- EC * 4
Experimental: Precision group
chemotherapy + target therapy
Chemotherapy : weely nab-P * 12- EC * 4
The backbone is chemotherapy which will be used in the control group. The precision group will add targeted therapy agents which were determined according to SNF classification: the SNF2 subtype add adebrelimab combined with famitinib, the SNF3 subtype receives fluzoparib, and the SNF4 subtype receives apatinib.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pathological complete response (pCR) rate using the definition of ypT0/Tis ypN0 ((i.e., no invasive residual in breast or nodes; noninvasive breast residuals allowed) at the time of definitive surgery)
Time Frame: Up to approximately 1 year
pCR rate after neoadjuvant treatment, defined as the proportion of participants who have no evidence by H&E staining of residual invasive disease in the complete resected breast specimen and all sampled regional lymph nodes (ypT0/Tis ypN0) by investigator assessment following completion of neoadjuvant therapy.
Up to approximately 1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: Approximately 5 years
OS is defined as the time from randomisation until the date of death due to any cause.
Approximately 5 years
Safety including adverse events (AEs), severe adverse events (SAEs) and adverse events of special interest (AESI).
Time Frame: Up to approximately 1.5 years
Incidence of AEs, SAE, AESIs (interstitial lung disease, LVEF decrease), AEs resulting in study intervention interruption and discontinuation, etc.
Up to approximately 1.5 years
Event-free survival (EFS) rate at 12, 24, 36-month
Time Frame: Up to approximately 3 years
EFS is defined as time from date of randomisation until disease progression precluding initial surgery, invasive disease recurrence (local, regional, distant, or contralateral), or death from any cause.
Up to approximately 3 years
Invasive disease-free survival (IDFS) rate at 12, 24, 36-month
Time Frame: Up to approximately 3 years
IDFS is defined as time from surgery until invasive disease recurrence (local, regional, distant, or contralateral), or death from any cause.
Up to approximately 3 years
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame: Approximately 1 year
ORR is defined as the proportion of participants who have a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on BICR and investigator assessment using RECIST 1.1.
Approximately 1 year
