Novel Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Strategy for Germline BRCA 1/2 Mutated Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Recruiting now · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Triple Negative Breast Neoplasms, Triple Negative Breast Cancer, Breast Neoplasms, Breast Cancer, BRCA1 Mutation, BRCA2 Mutation, BRCA Mutation, BRCA-Associated Breast Carcinoma

In brief

This is a Phase II, single-arm, open label study to evaluate Olaparib plus Pembrolizumab following platinum-based chemotherapy plus Pembrolizumab as neoadjuvant therapy for germline BRCA (gBRCA) 1/2 mutated triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Pembrolizumab in combination with weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin (treatment 1) is followed by Pembrolizumab in combination with Olaparib (treatment 2) in neoadjuvant setting and Pembrolizumab in combination with Olaparib in adjuvant setting will be studied
