G-CSF Omission
for Breast Cancer
This trial is testing whether breast cancer patients can safely skip a medication during part of their chemotherapy. This medication helps with white blood cell recovery but can cause painful side effects. The study aims to see if omitting this medication can improve patients' quality of life without increasing infection risks.

Pembrolizumab
for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
The phase III trial compares the effect of pembrolizumab to observation for the treatment of patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer who achieved a pathologic complete response after preoperative chemotherapy in combination with pembrolizumab. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial may help researchers determine if observation will result in the same risk of cancer coming back as pembrolizumab after surgery in triple-negative breast cancer patients who achieve pathologic complete response after preoperative chemotherapy with pembrolizumab.
