Summary

This study tests whether adding the drug sarilumab to chemotherapy (capecitabine) can eliminate tiny amounts of cancer left behind after standard treatment in people with triple negative breast cancer, a very aggressive type. The goal is to prevent the cancer from coming back and improve survival. About 65 adults with high-risk or metastatic breast cancer will take part. The study has two phases: first finding the safest dose, then checking if the treatment clears cancer cells from the blood and bone marrow.
