Study Summary

This trial is testing a device that could help predict the best treatment for an individual's breast cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with early-stage, HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer who haven't had surgery, chemo, or radiation yet. They should be fit enough for chemotherapy and curative surgery, have a tumor size of at least 1cm (or 2cm depending on the cohort), and not be pregnant if of childbearing potential.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety of using an implantable microdevice in patients' tumors to predict which treatments might work best. Participants will either get this device before standard preoperative chemo or just before their planned breast surgery.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not detailed but may include typical reactions to having a foreign device implanted temporarily in the body such as discomfort, infection risk at the site, and possible allergic reactions.
