About

Experimental Group Adebrelimab (PD-L1 inhibitor) 1200 mg on Day 1, every 3 weeks. Radiotherapy (Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy, SBRT) with a dose of 24 Gy/3 fractions within 3 weeks after the first immunotherapy dose.

Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) 250 mg twice daily, starting 7 days before radiotherapy and continuing for 1 month after radiotherapy completion.

Control Group Adebrelimab 1200 mg on Day 1, every 3 weeks. SBRT with a dose of 24 Gy/3 fractions within 3 weeks after the first immunotherapy dose.

Chemotherapy is permitted during the study in both groups. The decision to use chemotherapy will be made by the treating physician based on the patient's individual condition and prior treatment history.

Primary Endpoint Objective Response Rate (ORR) of lesions outside the radiotherapy field, assessed by RECIST 1.1 criteria.

Secondary Endpoints Disease Control Rate (DCR) of lesions outside the radiotherapy field. Safety profile (≥3 toxicities). ORR of lesions within the radiotherapy field. Distant metastasis rate outside the radiotherapy field. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS).

Safety Monitoring Adverse events and serious adverse events (SAE) will be closely monitored and reported according to the protocol. Treatment will be discontinued if predefined criteria for stopping are met.

Study Duration The study will include a screening period, a treatment period, and a follow-up period with regular assessments every 2 cycles of immunotherapy until death occurs.

3. Patients who have previously received standard treatment regimens for recurrent/metastatic breast cancer；
4. At least one lesion suitable for radiation therapy；

5. Previous immune therapy resulting in grade 3 or higher adverse events； Diagnosed with immunodeficiency or receiving long-term systemic corticosteroid treatment (prednisone equivalent dose >10 mg daily) or any form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days before the first dose of study treatment；
6. Active autoimmune diseases requiring systemic treatment (e.g., using disease-modifying drugs, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs) within the past 2 years；
7. Active infections requiring systemic treatment；
8. Known history of active tuberculosis；
9. Other significant cardiovascular diseases, including recent myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, or a history of coronary artery interventions (angioplasty, stent placement, or bypass surgery) within the last 6 months; NYHA Class II-IV congestive heart failure (CHF) or a history of NYHA Class III or IV CHF；
10. Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
