Camrelizumab vs Placebo in Patients With Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

To the Editor A recent trial reported that camrelizumab in combination with chemotherapy significantly improved the pathological complete response (pCR) compared with placebo in combination with chemotherapy among patients with early or locally advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), with pCR rates of 56.8% vs 44.7%, respectively. However, the 18-month event-free survival rates were 86.6% vs 83.6% (hazard ratio, 0.80 [95% CI, 0.46-1.42]), showing no statistical significance, and the wide CI indicates that the study had a relatively short follow-up period and immature survival data.
