NADiR Trial Summary

This trial will test to see if the addition of Dostarlimab and Niraparib to Radiation Therapy will be safe and effective in treating participants with metastatic triple negative breast cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with metastatic triple negative breast cancer who need radiation therapy and haven't had a positive response to immune-checkpoint inhibitors or are PDL1-negative. Participants must have good organ function, not be pregnant, agree to use contraception, and can't have certain conditions like active hepatitis, known BRCA mutations, brain metastases, recent major surgery or immunosuppressive treatments.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of combining Dostarlimab (an immunotherapy drug) with Niraparib (a PARP inhibitor) alongside standard Radiation Therapy in treating metastatic triple negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this combination works better than current treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include fatigue, allergic reactions to medication components, digestive issues such as nausea or constipation from Niraparib; skin reactions from radiation; and immune-related effects like inflammation from Dostarlimab.
