QL1706 Plus Chemotherapy as Neoadjuvant Therapy in Early High-Risk TNBC Breast Cancer

QL1706 is a novel bispecific combination antibody composed of a recombinant humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody targeting human PD-1 (programmed cell death protein 1) (PSB103) and a recombinant humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody targeting human CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4) (PSB105). Both antibodies have undergone engineering modifications to introduce mutations facilitating their correct assembly and preventing mispairing, and are expressed in the same cell line at a predetermined ratio (approximately 2:1).

Albumin-bound paclitaxel improves the solubility and delivery of paclitaxel to tumor cells by binding to human albumin, facilitating its transportation through the bloodstream and enhancing its uptake into tumor tissue. It works by binding to and stabilizing microtubules within cancer cells, thereby disrupting the normal process of cell division and leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, ultimately resulting in the death of cancer cells.

Carboplatin is a chemotherapy medication belonging to the platinum-based class of drugs, commonly used in the treatment of various cancers, including ovarian cancer, lung cancer, and bladder cancer. It functions by forming DNA adducts, disrupting DNA replication and transcription processes in cancer cells, ultimately leading to cell death. Despite its efficacy, carboplatin can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and bone marrow suppression.
