Summary

This study tests a 12-18 week combination of chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) and immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) for people with triple-negative breast cancer who cannot take standard anthracycline-based chemo because of heart conditions or high risk of heart damage. The goal is to see if this heart-safe approach can eliminate the tumor before surgery. About 43 participants will be enrolled.
