Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this study is to investigate whether specific metabolic profiles can predict response to neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy in patients with stage II and III triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The main objectives are to determine: * whether targeted metabolic pathways, specifically tryptophan and diacetylspermine metabolism, are associated with histological response to neoadjuvant treatment; * whether untargeted metabolomics combined with machine learning approaches can identify novel biomarkers predictive of treatment response. Participants will: * undergo image-guided tumor sampling during the standard-of-care placement of the tumor localization clip, prior to initiation of neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy, in accordance with routine clinical practice at the study center; * provide a blood sample before initiation of neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy; * provide a second blood sample during the course of standard treatment; continue to receive routine clinical care, including imaging assessments and surgical management, according to standard clinical practice. The study does not modify the patient's standard therapeutic management.

- measure
- Predictive performance of targeted metabolites and histological response
- timeFrame
- From enrollment to the end of treatment and follow-up - 8 months.
- description
- The predictive performance of targeted metabolites (tryptophan pathway and diacetylspermine) to predict post-surgical histological response will be evaluated using the area under the ROC curve (AUC), with an AUC target \> 0.8. Histological response will be assessed according to the Residual Cancer Burden (RCB) classification, ranging from RCB0 (pathological complete response) to RCB3 (presence of extensive residual disease), based on the results obtained from the surgical specimen of breast surgery.
