The Efficacy and Safety of Lenvatinib Combined With Sindilimab and Nab-paclitaxel in the First-line Treatment for Recurrent and Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer: a Phase Ib/IIa Clinical Trial.

In recent years, the research on immunotherapy in triple negative breast cancer has been carried out in full swing, but the results are inconsistent. Lenvatinib is an oral multi kinase inhibitor with main targets including VEGFR1-3, FGFR1-4, and PDGFR-α, KIT and RET. It inhibits the FGFR4 signaling pathway, and downregulate the expression of PD-L1 in tumor cells, thereby regulating the tumor immune microenvironment. The treatment regimen of lenvatinib combined with PD1 antibody has brought earth shaking changes to the immunotherapy of various "cold tumors". This is a phase Ib/IIa clinical trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of Lenvatinib combined with Sindilimab and Nab-paclitaxel in the first-line treatment for recurrent and metastatic triple negative breast cancer.
