Brief summary
This is an open-label, prospective, two-arm, multicenter phase II clinical trial. The aim is to explore the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy combined with cisplatin/carboplatin, adebrelimab, and bevacizumab in patients with triple-negative breast cancer and brain metastases.
Interventions
Patients will receive either Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy (FSRT) or Whole Brain Radiotherapy (WBRT), at the discretion of the treating physician based on the number, size, and location of brain metastases.
20mg/kg, IV, D1, Q3W
7.5mg/kg, IV, D1, Q3W
Cisplatin 75mg/m2, IV, D1, Q3W; or carboplatin: AUC=5, IV, D1, Q3W

This questionnaire is for functional and global quality of life scales, higher scores mean a better level of functioning. For symptom-oriented scales, a higher score means more severesymptoms. |
| EORTC QLQ-BN20 | At screening, within 3 days before each cycle of treatment, and at end of treatment or safety follow-up, assessed up to 24 months | Quality of life assessed using the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire for Brain Neoplasms (QLQ-BN20). This aims to evaluate the effects of the tumour and its treatment on symptoms, functions and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of brain tumour patients. The scale scoring form 0 to 100, and a higher score generally indicates more severe symptoms and poorer quality of life. |
