To investigate the efficacy and safety of Retlirafusp alfa in combination with chemotherapy or fluzoparib for early-stage and advanced triple-negative breast cancer.
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the molecular subtype with the poorest prognosis among breast cancers, characterized by high rates of early recurrence, rapid distant metastasis, and short overall survival. Due to the lack of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2 expression, TNBC is insensitive to endocrine therapy and targeted therapy, making chemotherapy the mainstay of systemic treatment for a long time. However, conventional chemotherapy offers limited efficacy, and treatment options become scarce after the development of drug resistance. In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown promising prospects in TNBC, particularly in PD-L1-positive patients who may benefit from immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy; nevertheless, a substantial proportion of patients still fail to achieve durable responses. In addition, PARP inhibitors have provided a new therapeutic option for TNBC patients harboring gBRCA mutations, and they exhibit potential synergistic effects with immunotherapy. Retlirafusp alfa (SHR-1701) is a domestically developed bifunctional fusion protein targeting PD-L1 and TGF-β, which can simultaneously block the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway and neutralize TGF-β in the tumor microenvironment, thereby enhancing anti-tumor immune responses. It has demonstrated promising efficacy and manageable safety in tumor types such as gastric cancer. Based on the above background, this study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of Retlirafusp alfa combined with chemotherapy or fluzoparib in early-stage and advanced TNBC, in order to provide novel therapeutic strategies for TNBC patients.

Late-Stage Cohort-Objective Response Rate
Proportion of patients with best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) from treatment initiation to disease progression.
Time frame: Assessed every 6 weeks (every 2 cycles) during treatment until disease progression, death, or loss to follow-up. Analysis cutoff at 6 months.
Neoadjuvant Cohort-tpCR (ypT0/is ypN0)
Pathologic complete response with no residual invasive carcinoma in breast and ipsilateral lymph nodes after neoadjuvant therapy and surgery.
Time frame: Surgery performed 2-6 weeks after completing 8 cycles (≈24 weeks) of neoadjuvant therapy; pathological assessment post-surgery. Analysis cutoff at 6 months.
Late-Stage Cohort-Disease Control Rate
Proportion of patients with best overall response of CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) from treatment initiation to disease progression.
Time frame: Assessed every 6 weeks (every 2 cycles) during treatment until disease progression, death, or loss to follow-up. Analysis cutoff at 6 months.
Late-Stage Cohort-Clinical Benefit Rate
Proportion of patients with confirmed CR, PR, or SD lasting ≥24 weeks.
Time frame: Assessed until disease progression, death, or loss to follow-up. Analysis cutoff at 6 months.
Late-Stage Cohort-Progression-Free Survival
Time from treatment initiation to first radiographic disease progression or death from any cause.
