About this study
Official title: A Single-Arm, Phase II Clinical Study of Neoadjuvant Therapy With Ivonescimab Combined With Chemotherapy in Patients With Early or Locally Advanced Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
This study is a multicenter, single-arm, investigator-initiated Phase II clinical trial. Eligible patients with treatment-naive early or locally advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), clinically staged as Stage II-III, will receive neoadjuvant therapy with ivonescimab in combination with chemotherapy prior to surgery. During the neoadjuvant phase, ivonescimab will be administered for a total of 12 doses. Patients who complete the neoadjuvant treatment and are deemed surgically eligible must undergo definitive surgical intervention.
Following surgery and pathological evaluation by the local pathology department at each participating center, patients will continue to receive adjuvant therapy with ivonescimab for an additional 14 doses, in addition to any subsequent treatment recommended by the investigator according to standard clinical practice.
The primary endpoint of this study is the pathological complete response rate (pCR). Participants will also be followed for secondary endpoints including event-free survival (EFS), disease-free survival (DFS), and distant disease-free survival (DDFS), with a minimum follow-up duration of 2 years post-surgery.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Ivonescimab in people with TNBC, Triple Negative Breast Cancer, run by Fudan University.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Zhi-Ming Shao, MD (86-21-641755901105, zhimingshao@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
pathological complete response rate (pCR) (time frame: Up to approximately 24 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 May 2025.
