First seen Dec 12, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding an extra immunotherapy drug at the start of standard treatment can help the immune system better attack triple negative breast cancer before surgery. About 12 adults with untreated, locally advanced TNBC will receive either standard chemo plus pembrolizumab or that same regimen with an additional immunotherapy primer. The main goal is to see how many patients have no cancer left at the time of surgery.
