Objective:

To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and preliminary efficacy of Toripalimab combined with chemotherapy and tumor-directed radiotherapy in early-stage HR+/HER2- breast cancer.

Approach:
  • Study Design: This multicenter, three-cohort exploratory study enrolls treatment-naïve patients with early-stage HR+/HER2- breast cancer.
  • Intervention: Participants receive neoadjuvant Toripalimab plus chemotherapy and image-guided radiotherapy, differentiated by three fractionation regimens: Arm 1 (8 Gy × 3 fractions, total 24 Gy); Arm 2 (16 Gy single fraction); Arm 3 (0.5 Gy twice daily for 8 cycles, cumulative 8 Gy).
Key Findings:
  • The primary endpoint is pathological complete response (pCR).
  • Secondary endpoints include objective response rate, recurrence, survival outcomes, and safety.
Interpretation:

The study will provide data on the feasibility, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of a novel multimodal neoadjuvant strategy.

Limitations:
  • The study is exploratory and descriptive, limiting the generalizability of findings.
  • The sample size is small, with only 45 patients enrolled.
Conclusion:

This study aims to inform the selection of radiotherapy schedules for future trials.
