Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to evaluate whether psychological status affects the response to neoadjuvant immunotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and how it relates to immune changes during treatment. Participants will receive standard therapy, undergo psychological assessments, and provide blood and saliva samples for biomarker testing. By linking psychological status with immune profiles and treatment outcomes, the study seeks to clarify how mental state may influence immunotherapy effectiveness.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The goal of this prospective observational study is to understand how psychological status influences the therapeutic response and long-term outcomes of patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) receiving neoadjuvant immunotherapy. The study primarily focuses on the association between psychological status and pathological complete response (pCR) as well as event-free survival (EFS).

In this study, early-stage TNBC patients undergoing standard neoadjuvant immunotherapy will complete psychological assessments at baseline and multiple timepoints during treatment. Measurement include self-assessment questionnaires like GAD-7 and PHQ-9 and clinician-administered depression assessment scale like Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS). Blood and saliva samples will be collected to measure immune cell subsets, inflammatory cytokines, cortisol, and heart rate variability (HRV). Treatment response (pCR, ORR) and long-term outcomes (EFS) will be recorded and analyzed. By integrating psychological measures, circulating immune markers, and clinical efficacy endpoints, researchers aim to build a psychological-immune-response association model and identify psychophysiological biomarkers that may predict immunotherapy benefit.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Chemotherapy plus PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor (Chemo-immunotherapy arm)

Patients in this arm will receive standard chemotherapy in combination with a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor as neoadjuvant therapy prior to definitive surgery. Concomitant treatments may be administered when clinically indicated.

No interventions assigned to this group

ADC plus PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor (ADC-immunotherapy arm)

Patients in this arm will receive an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) in combination with a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor as neoadjuvant therapy prior to definitive surgery. Concomitant treatments may be administered when clinically indicated.

No interventions assigned to this group
