New treatment option for Breast Neoplasms
Official title Study Of Capecitabine Combined With Camrelizumab For Non-pCR TNBC With TLS After Neoadjuvant Chemoterapy
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06313463
What this study is testing
What is Carrellizumab + Capecitabine?
Carrellizumab + Capecitabine is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for breast neoplasms.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab in combination with capecitabine compared to placebo in combination with capecitabine as adjuvant therapy for patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who have not achieved pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and have tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in the tumor tissue. The primary endpoint of this study is disease-free survival (DFS) to assess the long-term effectiveness of the treatment.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug.
