Summary

This trial is testing whether different targeted therapies can improve outcomes for women with residual Triple Negative Breast Cancer after pre-operative treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women with residual Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) after pre-op therapy. They must have completed neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery, not be pregnant, and agree to use contraception. Excluded are those with chronic hepatitis B, uncontrolled diseases, recent investigational drug use, certain eye conditions or diabetes requiring treatment, active second malignancy other than specific skin/prostate cancer types, HIV without undetectable viral load in the past 6 months, recent heart issues or severe allergies to study meds.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests three treatments based on plasma ctDNA positivity and genomic markers: Pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy), Capecitabine (a chemotherapy drug), Talazoparib and Inavolisib (targeted therapies). Patients will be stratified into one of these three arms depending on their individual tumor DNA characteristics.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune-related reactions like inflammation in organs from Pembrolizumab; hand-foot syndrome, diarrhea from Capecitabine; anemia or fatigue from Talazoparib; and high blood sugar levels or rash from Inavolisib. Each patient's experience may vary.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm 1Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Arm 1a: Patients who are ctDNA-positive and harbor a genomic target. DNA repair pathway = talazoparib + capecitabine (CLOSED) Arm 1b: Patients who are ctDNA-positive and harbor a genomic target. Immunotherapy pathway = pembrolizumab + capecitabine (CLOSED) Arm 1c: Patients who are ctDNA-positive and harbor a genomic target. PI3K Pathway = inavolisib + capecitabine ---> +/- standard of care pembrolizumab Arm 1d: Patients who are ctDNA-positive and harbor a genomic target. DNA Repair + Immunotherapy = talazoparib + capecitabine +/- standard of care pembrolizumab
Group II: Arm 2Active Control2 Interventions
Arm 2 subjects have plasma ctDNA positive but do not have a genomically driven treatment option. Treatment of physician's choice will be given with consideration for capecitabine and pembrolizumab. Dose, schedule and duration of treatment to be determined by treating physician.
Group III: Arm 3Active Control2 Interventions
Arm 3 subjects have plasma ctDNA negative. Treatment of patient and physician's choice will be given with consideration for capecitabine and pembrolizumab. Dose, schedule and duration of treatment to be determined by treating physician.
