Clinical Trials Actively Recruiting

Having a large clinical trial portfolio means giving patients treatment options often not available anywhere else, and years before they become the standard of care.

  • Objective:

    Primary Objective:

    • To assess whether participants with early stage TNBC randomized to receive
      anthracycline-free, taxane-platinum neoadjuvant chemotherapy with
      pembrolizumab have non-inferior breast cancer event-free survival (BC-EFS)
      compared to participants randomized to taxane-platinum-anthracycline
      neoadjuvant chemotherapy with pembrolizumab.

      (RCB) rates by randomized arm.

    Age Group:
    • Adult
    Phase:
    • Phase III
  • Objective:

    Primary Objective:

    • To compare the proportions of participants in the Tomosynthesis (TM) and Digital Mammography (DM) study arms experiencing the occurrence of an "advanced" breast cancer at any time during a period of 4.5 years from randomization, including the period of active screening and a period of clinical follow-up after the last screen (T4). For purposes of this study, "advanced" cancers are those meeting any of the following criteria at any time during a period of 4.5 years from randomization:
      • there are distant metastases,
      • there are positive lymph nodes*,
      • the cancer is invasive and is greater than or equal to 20 mm in size, or
      • the cancer is invasive and is greater than 10 mm and less than 20 mm in size and is either: 1) ER- and PR- and HER2-, or is 2) HER2+.

    *lymph nodes with micrometastases (none greater than 2 mm) and/or isolated tumor cells are not considered lymph node positive for definition of advanced cancer. All cancers that meet these criteria that present within 4.5 years of randomization will be counted in the primary endpoint.

    Secondary Objectives:

    • To assess the potential effect of age, menopausal and hormonal status, breast density, and family cancer history on the primary endpoint difference between the two arms.
