Study Summary

This trial studies how well M7824 works in treating patients with stage II-III HER2 positive breast cancer. M7824 is an immunotherapy that may help the body's immune system attack the cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women and men with stage II-III HER2 positive breast cancer, who have not been treated with PD-1/PD-L1 or CTLA-4 inhibitors. Participants must have a tumor size of at least 2 cm, no distant metastasis, proper liver and kidney function, an acceptable blood count, and use effective contraception. They should be able to follow the study protocol.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing M7824 (Bintrafusp Alfa), which may boost the immune system's ability to fight cancer and prevent tumor growth in patients with specific breast cancer. It's an early-phase study to see how well this immunotherapy works.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of M7824 could include typical reactions related to immunotherapies such as fatigue, skin reactions, inflammation in various organs like lungs or intestines (colitis), hormonal gland problems (like thyroid issues), or infusion-related reactions.
