Clinical Trial Summary

Eligible patients with stage 2 and 3 triple negative breast cancer will be treated with 4 cycles of neoadjuvant paclitaxel/carboplatin/pembrolizumab. A PET scan will be performed at baseline and after 1 cycle of therapy. A breast MRI will be performed after treatment completion. Patients with complete clinical response will proceed to surgery. Patients with clinical residual disease will complete neoadjuvant rescue with 4 cycles of doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide prior to surgery. If residual disease identified after surgery, adjuvant therapy to be determined by the treating oncologist (may include doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide/pembrolizumab, capecitabine etc).


Clinical Trial Description

Eligible participants will undergo baseline procedures including research bloodwork, MRI and PET scan. Participants will then be treated with one cycle of paclitaxel, carboplatin and pembrolizumab (TCarbo/pembro). At the end of Cycle one patients will undergo repeat procedures (bloodwork and PET scan), and then continue with treatment for an additional three cycles. ctDNA will be collected on day 1 of each cycle. At the end of treatment patients will undergo repeat MRI. Patients achieving a clinical complete response (CR) on MRI will proceed with surgery. Patients with clinical residual disease (RD) on MRI will be recommended a biopsy, and be recommended "rescue" neoadjuvant doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide with pembrolizumab (AC/pembro) for four additional cycles, and then proceed with surgery. Note: patients/treating physician may opt to proceed with surgery. Archival tissue will be collected from the surgical product. Patients achieving a pathologic CR (pCR) may proceed with adjuvant pembrolizumab per standard of care, and treating physician's discretion. Patients with pathological RD may proceed with "rescue" adjuvant AC/pembrolizumab for four additional cycles (if not given neoadjuvantly), per treating physician discretion. The participants may also receive Aadjuvant capecitabine or olaparib as indicated and per treating physician's discretion. ;
