Evaluating and Monitoring Immune and Clinical Responses in Early-Stage Triple Negative Breast Cancer Undergoing Neoadjuvant Chemo-immunotherapy With Pembrolizumab

Studying immune responses in early-stage triple negative breast cancer treatment.

Phase N/A

This study is looking at how people's immune systems react when they have early-stage Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) and receive a neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy. Neoadjuvant therapy means treatment is given before the main treatment. This study uses a chemo-immunotherapy called pembrolizumab. Pembrolizumab is a medicine that helps the immune system fight cancer. The aim is to check if this treatment creates a specific response in the body, making it more inflammatory, which might help kill cancer cells. They will also see if the treatment works by looking at the cancer tissue.

  • The study requires regular visits for treatment and tests.
  • Participants must not have had cancer treatment before joining.
  • Participants will need to sign a consent form and follow study rules.

To join, you must have early-stage TNBC and meet specific health conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those on certain medications cannot join. This research could help understand how well this treatment works and why some tumors might not respond. Participants should discuss with doctors to understand the potential benefits and risks.

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.
