Phase N/A

Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) means the cancer does not have certain common receptors, making it harder to treat. This study looks at how a treatment called neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy affects the immune system and cancer in people with early-stage TNBC. Neoadjuvant treatment is therapy given before the main treatment to shrink the tumor. Pembrolizumab is a medicine used to help the immune system attack cancer cells. The study checks if this treatment makes helpful changes in the blood and cancer tissue. Researchers will see if a specific immune response, called a pro-inflammatory cytokine milieu, is created by the treatment and if it helps to remove the cancer completely.

  • The study is for people with newly diagnosed Stage II-III TNBC who haven't had any treatment yet.
  • You must be willing to follow all study procedures and visits.
  • Participants can't be pregnant or on certain medications that might interfere with the study.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
