A Clinical Study of Boserolimab (MK-5890) With Pembrolizumab and Chemotherapy in People With Early Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (MK-5890-003)

Description

Researchers want to learn if giving boserolimab (MK-5890) with standard treatment (pembrolizumab and chemotherapy) before surgery can help treat triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). The goals of this study are to learn about the safety of boserolimab given with standard treatment before surgery and to learn if people tolerate it and how many people have no signs of cancer in the tissues and lymph nodes removed during surgery.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Has previously untreated high-risk, early-stage, non-metastatic (M0) breast cancer (BC), defined as tumor stage T1c, nodal stage N1-2, or tumor stage T2-4, nodal stage N0-2
  • * Has provided a core needle biopsy for tissue diagnosis of the current breast cancer less than 29 days prior to the date of informed consent
  • * Has centrally confirmed diagnosis of BC that is triple-negative based on the American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists guidelines
  • * Has Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1 performed within 28 days before treatment randomization
  • * Has left ventricle ejection fraction of ≥50% as assessed by echocardiogram or multigated acquisition scan performed at screening
  • * Has a history of exposure to anthracycline; participants can be eligible after completion of a Sponsor consultation form, if cumulative lifetime doses are as follows: Doxorubicin \<100 mg/m2, Epirubicin \<180 mg/m2, Mitoxantrone \<40 mg/m2, Idarubicin \<22.5 mg/m2. Note: If another anthracycline or more than one anthracycline has been used, the cumulative dose must not exceed the equivalent of 100 mg/m2 of doxorubicin
  • * Has documented Grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy
  • * Has uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease
  • * Has received prior therapy with an anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (anti-PD-1), anti-programmed cell death-ligand 1 (anti-PD-L1), or anti-PD-L2 agent, or with an agent directed to another stimulatory or coinhibitory T-cell receptor (e.g., cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein-4 \[CTLA-4\], OX-40 \[cluster of differentiation (CD) 134\], or CD137)
  • * Has received any prior treatment, including radiation, systemic therapy, and/or definitive surgery for currently diagnosed breast cancer
  • * Has received prior systemic anticancer therapy
  • * Has undergone excisional biopsy of the primary tumor and/or axillary lymph node dissection prior to study treatment
  • * Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of study intervention
  • * Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 5 years
  • * Has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years with need for disease modifying agents such as corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs
  • * Has history of (noninfectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that required steroids or has current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease
  • * Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy
  • * HIV-infected participants with a history of Kaposi's sarcoma and/or Multicentric Castleman's Disease
  • * Has severe hypersensitivity (Grade ≥3) to pembrolizumab, any investigational agent or study intervention, any of its excipients, and/or to another biologic therapy
  • * Has a history of allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplant
