About This Trial

This study is a multicenter phase II trial planning to enroll 40 patients with primary triple-negative breast cancer (tumor size ≥2 cm, clinical lymph node stage cN0-3, M0). Participants will receive the combination therapy of Sac-TMT and KL-A167 during the neoadjuvant treatment phase. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sac-TMT combined with KL-A167 as neoadjuvant treatment for triple-negative breast cancer.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Breast Cancer and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 40 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.
