Microwave Ablation Combined With Camrelizumab in the Treatment of Early Breast Cancer

Ablative therapy, as a local treatment modality for tumors, has an immune activating effect. To explore the synergistic effect of microwave ablation combined with PD-1 inhibitors, this prospective, open-label, multi-cohort, single-center clinical study was conducted. To compare the feasibility and safety of preoperative microwave ablation alone, with or without camrelizumab in patients with early newly diagnosed breast cancer.

Inclusion criteria

  • Female.
  • Age 20-65 years.
  • Invasive carcinoma confirmed by core biopsy.
  • Newly diagnosed breast cancer patients, without adjuvant therapy.
  • Imaging findings showed a single breast tumor with a maximum diameter of 3 cm, no distant metastasis, and no invasion of the skin and chest wall.
  • Systematic ultrasound is able to visualize lesions.
  • Surgical treatment was planned.
  • The functional level of major organs must meet the following requirements:
  • blood routine: neutrophil (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 109/L; platelet count (PLT) ≥ 90 × 109/L; hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 90 g/L;
  • blood biochemistry: total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ upper limit of normal (ULN); alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 1.5 × ULN; alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 × ULN; blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) ≤ 1.5 × ULN;
  • coagulation: international normalized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN; activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN.
  • Heart: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% as assessed by echocardiography (ECHO) or multigated acquisition (MUGA).
  • Thyroid function: thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) ≤ ULN; if abnormal, T3 and T4 levels should be investigated, and normal T3 and T4 levels can be included.
  • Urinalysis: urine protein < 2 +, if urine protein ≥ 2 +, 24-hour urine protein quantification must show protein ≤ 1 g.
  • Voluntarily participate in this study, sign informed consent, have good compliance and are willing to cooperate with follow-up.

Exclusion criteria

  • Tumor involving skin, ulceration, inflammatory breast cancer patients
  • Fatty breast cancer.
  • Tumors on the deep surface of areolar region
  • KPS score < 70, or ECOG score > 2
  • Patients with a history of concomitant collagen connective tissue disease, or any active autoimmune disease or autoimmune disease.
  • Prior radiotherapy or prior use of investigational drugs or other immunosuppressive agents
  • Heart, brain, lung, kidney and other vital organ failure, liver and kidney dysfunction;
  • Uncorrectable severe coagulopathy
  • Patient is pregnant or lactating
  • Poor glycemic control in diabetes
  • Patients with foreign body implantation around the tumor
  • Patients with severe scars on the skin of the treatment area (protruding from the skin surface, width ≥ 1 cm)
  • History of chronic immunosuppression, prior immunotherapy, recent vaccination (< 4 weeks)
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, active hepatitis B (hepatitis B indicates antigen positive and HBV DNA ≥ 500 IU/ml), hepatitis C (hepatitis C antibody positive and HCV-RNA above the lower limit of detection of the analytical method).
  • Concurrent medical conditions that, in the judgment of the investigator, would jeopardize the subject's safety, could confound the study results, or affect the subject's completion of this study.

Treatment and study plan

Microwave ablation

Procedure

Image-guided microwave ablation 7-10 days prior to surgery

Camrelizumab

Drug

Camrelizumab 200 mg was given a few days after microwave ablation

Other names: SHR-1210

Breast surgery

Procedure

Standard of care breast conserving surgery or radical mastectmoy

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety of Microwave Ablation Combined With Camrelizumab

    Time frame: 3 months

    Safety measured by occurrence of study related adverse effects defined by NCI CTCAE 5.0

Secondary outcomes

  1. Complete ablation rate

    Time frame: 1 day

    The proportion of patients with complete ablation was calculated for all patients. Complete ablation was defined as: tissue section at the ablation margin that was negative by histochemical staining.

  2. Negative predictive value of ultrasound

    Time frame: 1 day

    Preoperative ultrasonography was performed. The negative predictive value of ultrasound was calculated by comparing the pathology report. Negative predictive value = number of patients with negative pathology and negative ultrasound/number of patients with negative ultrasound

  3. Assessment of Immunogenicity

    Time frame: 3 months

    Proportion of subjects with immune response to synergistic therapy detected by biomarkers in peripheral blood samples

  4. Breast self evaluation

    Time frame: 3 months

    Breast self evaluation for patients will be assessed by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Breast (FACT-B) scale scores.The FACT-B consists of 44 self-report items and assesses the specific breast cancer-related quality of life on 4 general and 1 breast-cancer specific subscale. A higher score indicates a higher cancer-related quality of life.
