Summary

This trial is testing a new combination of drugs to treat TNBC compared to the current standard of care.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced or metastatic Triple-negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) who haven't had certain recent treatments. They should be relatively fit, have a tumor sample available, and not planning surgery to remove the cancer. People can't join if they've had specific drugs recently, including chemotherapy within 6 months, AKT/PI3K/mTOR inhibitors, or are experiencing significant neuropathy.
What is being tested?
The study compares Capivasertib combined with Paclitaxel against a placebo plus Paclitaxel in treating TNBC. It's a Phase III trial where patients are randomly assigned to either treatment group as their first line of therapy.
What are the potential side effects?
Capivasertib may cause diarrhea, high blood sugar levels, rash and fatigue. Paclitaxel can lead to hair loss, joint and muscle pain, numbness or tingling in hands and feet (neuropathy), and an increased risk of infection.
