Study Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment involving two drugs. It will study the side effects and if the drugs are effective in treating triple-negative breast cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with triple-negative breast cancer that has spread, who haven't had cytotoxic therapy for advanced stages or metastasis. They should have measurable tumors, be in good physical condition (ECOG 0-1), and not have received certain prior treatments like immune-oncology therapies. Those with a history of severe lung issues or active brain metastases are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the combination of ladiratuzumab vedotin (LV) and pembrolizumab to treat advanced triple-negative breast cancer. It aims to understand the side effects and effectiveness of this drug duo on participants whose cancer has spread beyond the initial site.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to infusion, fatigue, changes in blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, nerve damage causing numbness or pain, as well as possible inflammation in organs such as lungs.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What are some of the conditions that Pembrolizumab has been proven to be an effective treatment for?

"Pembrolizumab, while most effective for malignant neoplasms, can also serve as treatment for unresectable melanoma, microsatellite instability high, and disease progression after chemotherapy."

Answered by AI

What are we hoping to learn or achieve from this research?

"The purpose of this study, as it will be evaluated over a 10 month period, is to establish the adverse event rate. Additionally, the trial will secondary measure progress-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and disease control rate (DCR)."

Answered by AI

Are there any open spots left in this trial for new patients?

"Yes, the latest information available on clinicaltrials.gov indicates that this study is still recruiting patients. The study was first posted on February 27th, 2018 and was last updated on October 28th, 2020. A total of 211 participants are needed, and so far 24 sites have agreed to take part."

Answered by AI

Are there similar ongoing Pembrolizumab trials elsewhere?

"City of Hope first researched pembrolizumab in 2010 and there have been 248 trials completed as of now. 1003 additional studies are still active, with a significant portion being conducted in Minneapolis, Minnesota."
