Pembrolizumab and chemo for early-stage triple-negative breast cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial studies whether adding pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) to standard chemotherapy after surgery can improve outcomes for people with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. The treatment you receive depends on the level of immune cells (TILs) found in your tumor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that was completely removed by surgery.
- Your tumor's immune cell level (TILs) is between 30% and 75% (depending on your age).
- You have not had prior chemotherapy or certain targeted therapies in the last year.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and agree to use birth control during the study.
- You are generally healthy enough for daily activities (ECOG 0 or 1) and have adequate organ function.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests two different sequences of chemotherapy combined with pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) given before surgery for high-risk triple-negative breast cancer. The goal is to see which sequence works better at shrinking or eliminating the tumor.
This trial tests whether giving pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) together with chemotherapy before surgery can help treat early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by shrinking the tumor before removal.
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) plus two chemotherapy drugs (carboplatin and paclitaxel) given before surgery for people with early-stage, triple-negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment helps shrink or eliminate the tumor before it's removed.
This trial tests if giving more of the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) after surgery helps people with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer that did not completely disappear with the initial chemotherapy plus immunotherapy. This is for patients who still have some cancer left after surgery, to reduce the chance of it coming back.
This Phase 2 trial studies a treatment plan given before surgery (neoadjuvant) and after surgery (adjuvant) for people with BRCA1/2-mutated triple negative breast cancer that has not spread. It aims to improve how well the cancer responds and how long people stay cancer-free.
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (HLX10) to chemotherapy before surgery, and then continuing it after surgery, helps people with triple-negative breast cancer more than chemotherapy alone. It is a type of breast cancer that does not respond to hormone treatments or HER2-targeted treatments.
