Study Summary
This trial looks at how well veliparib and carboplatin work to treat stage IV breast cancer.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for women with advanced (stage III or IV) breast cancer that can't be removed by surgery and isn't responding to standard treatments. Participants must have completed any prior chemotherapy at least 3 weeks before, be over 18, have a life expectancy over four months, not be pregnant, and have a specific BRCA mutation. They shouldn't have had platinum-based therapy recently unless it was over a year ago.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effectiveness of Veliparib alone versus combined with Carboplatin in treating advanced breast cancer. Veliparib targets enzymes needed for tumor growth while Carboplatin interferes with tumor cell division and spread. The goal is to determine if combining these drugs improves treatment outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Veliparib may cause nausea, fatigue, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems. Carboplatin can also lead to similar side effects including kidney issues, hearing changes, and allergic reactions.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Safety Lead-In Phase (veliparib, carboplatin)Experimental Treatment6 Interventions
Patients receive veliparib PO BID twice daily on days 1-21 of each cycle and carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo CT or MRI and may optionally undergo biopsies throughout the study. Patients undergo blood sample collection during screening and on study.
Group II: Phase II (veliparib, carboplatin)Experimental Treatment6 Interventions
Patients receive veliparib PO BID on days 1-21 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Upon progression, patients are taken off treatment for 1 week and may then continue to recieve veliparib along with carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo CT or MRI and may optionally undergo biopsies throughout the study. Patients undergo blood sample collection during screening and on study.
