High-dose radiation with pembrolizumab and chemo for pd-l1 positive tnbc
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests giving high-dose radiation along with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab and chemo to people with a specific subtype of advanced breast cancer (PD-L1 positive triple negative). It may help shrink tumors and keep them from growing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your breast cancer is triple-negative and has spread to at least two separate places in your body that can be seen on scans.
- Your cancer must produce a protein called PD-L1 (tested by a special lab test).
- You haven't had chemo for metastatic breast cancer before.
- You are healthy enough to receive radiation, immunotherapy (pembrolizumab), and chemo (a taxane drug).
- You are at least 18 years old and agree to take part in the study.

This trial studies whether adding a new anti-cancer drug (ZEN-3694) and the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel) can work better for advanced triple-negative breast cancer. It’s testing safety first (Phase 1) and, for some patients, how well the treatment controls the cancer.
This trial tests whether adding high-dose, targeted radiation to the usual treatment helps people with locally advanced, non-operable lung cancer live longer or better control the cancer. It may help shrink tumors in the chest and improve outcomes when surgery can’t be done.
This trial studies whether adding pembrolizumab (an immune “unlocking” drug) to radiation and another treatment that targets certain immune cells can improve outcomes for women with high-risk, early-stage triple negative breast cancer. You may be considered if your cancer has signs that it may respond less to immunotherapy on its own.
This trial tests whether combining targeted radiation (SBRT) with immunotherapy (PD-1 inhibitor) and chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer that has not spread far. It aims to find a more effective treatment option.
This trial tests a two-step approach: first a short course of chemotherapy (paclitaxel and bevacizumab), followed by a combination of immunotherapy (atezolizumab) and a different chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel). It's for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer that has spread or cannot be removed, and whose tumors have a specific marker called PD-L1. The goal is to see if this sequence works better than standard treatments.
This study tests a combination of radiation therapy and immunotherapy for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer who haven't had chemotherapy for their advanced disease. It aims to see if adding radiation to standard chemotherapy can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
