By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether injecting the experimental drug INT230-6 directly into the tumor before standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy can improve outcomes for people with early triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). About 61 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the injection plus standard treatment or standard treatment alone. The main goal is to see if the combination leads to a higher rate of complete cancer disappearance at the time of surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
INT230-6 (a combination of cisplatin, vinblastine, and a cell-penetrating molecule injected into the tumor)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could increase the chance of eliminating all cancer before surgery, potentially improving long-term outcomes for people with triple-negative breast cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial (61 participants) testing an experimental drug with no marketing approval. The added benefit over standard care is unproven, and side effects from the drug combination are possible.

Inclusion Criteria: * Written informed consent according to country specific law and ICH GCP E6(R2) regulations before registration and prior to any trial specific procedures. * Newly histologically diagnosed, previously untreated locally advanced non-metastatic TNBC as defined by the most recent American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) / College of American Pathologist (CAP) guidelines . * The following stages according to staging per American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) for breast cancer staging criteria version 8 are included: cT1c (1.5-2cm) N1-3 M0 or cT2-4c N0-3 M0. * Multifocal and multicentric primary tumors are allowed and the tumor with the most advanced T stage should be used to assess eligibility. If multifocal or multicentric disease TNBC needs to be confirmed for each focus. * Measurable disease in the breast with at least one lesion with a diameter ≥ 1.5cm that is evaluable per RECIST v1.1, visible in ultrasound and injectable. * Male or female subject Age ≥ 18 years. * ECOG performance status 0-1 * Adequate bone marrow function (administration of G-CSF, EPO and/or blood transfusion within 14 days before registration is not allowed): * neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 x 109/L * platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L * hemoglobin ≥ 90 g/L * Adequate hepatic function: * total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN, or direct bilirubin ≤ ULN for subjects with total bilirubin levels \> 1.5 x ULN * AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN, * Albumin 30 ≥ g/L * Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) \<2.5 ULN * Adequate renal function: estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 50 ml/min/1.73 m2 (according to CKD-EPI formula) * Adequate cardiac function: Left ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% as determined by echocardiography (ECHO) * Adequate coagulation function: * INR ≤ 1.5 x ULN unless the patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy * aPTT ≤ 1.5 x ULN unless the patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy * If the patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy, the treating physician must determine that the anticoagulation can be stopped at least 24 hours prior to injection. * Women of childbearing potential must use highly effective contraception, are not pregnant or lactating and agree not to become pregnant during trial treatment and until 7 months after the last dose of INT230-6 or 6 months after standard of care treatment. A negative pregnancy test before inclusion into the trial is required for all women of childbearing potential. (www.swissmedicinfo.ch). * Men agree not to donate sperm or to father a child by using effective contraception during trial treatment and until 6 months after the last dose of INT230-6 or standard of care treatment (www.swissmedicinfo.ch). Exclusion Criteria: * Inflammatory Breast Cancer cT4d * Unfavorable relation between tumor size and breast size as determined by judgement of the treating physician, surgeon and/or investigator, where tumor shrinkage during neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy is required for breast conserving surgery to be considered. * Unfavorable tumor location that can potentially result in an unfavorable cosmetic outcome (e.g. high upper inner quadrant) and/or close skin contact by judgment of the treating physician, surgeon and/or investigator. * The following histological subtypes of TNBC are excluded: Classic adenoid cystic carcinoma, secretory carcinoma, low-grade adenosquamous carcinoma, tall cell carcinoma with reversed polarity, high-grade metaplastic * History of invasive malignancy ≤3 years prior to signing informed consent (except treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer or in situ cervical cancer) * Prior chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy or anti-PD-L1 agent for previous breast cancer or Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) on the same side. * Concurrent bilateral breast cancer * Concomitant treatment with any other experimental drug for recent breast cancer diagnosis in another clinical trial. * Severe or uncontrolled cardiovascular disease (congestive heart failure NYHA II or IV; unstable angina pectoris, history of myocardial infarction and acute coronary syndrome requiring stenting/bypass surgery within the last six months, serious arrhythmias requiring medication (with exception of atrial fibrillation or paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia), significant QT-prolongation, uncontrolled hypertension. * Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or active chronic hepatitis C or hepatitis B virus infection or any uncontrolled active systemic infection requiring intravenous (iv) antimicrobial treatment. * Active autoimmune disease that required systemic treatment in past 2 years (e.g., with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroid hormone replacement, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment. * History of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or current pneumonitis. * Known history of tuberculosis. * Known history of allogeneic organ or stem cell transplant. * Receipt of live attenuated vaccine (including yellow fever vaccine) within 30 days prior to registration. * Diagnosis of immunodeficiency, concomitant or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 7 days before registration, with the exceptions of local (intranasal, topical and inhaled) corticosteroids, or systemic corticosteroids which must not exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone or a dose equivalent corticosteroid, and the premedication for chemotherapy. * Concomitant anticoagulation with warfarin or equivalent vitamin K antagonists (e.g. phenprocoumon), factor Xa inhibitors (e.g. rivaroxaban, apixaban), direct thrombin inhibitors (e.g. dabigatran) or platelet inhibitors/antiplatelet agents that cannot be stopped 24 hours before the administration of INT230-6. Aspirin (up to 300 mg/day) is allowed. * Any concomitant drugs contraindicated for use with the trial drug according to the Investigator Brochure (IB) and the immuno-chemotherapy treatment according to the approved product information. * Known hypersensitivity to trial drug or to any component of the trial drug or immuno-chemotherapy treatment. * Incapacitated adults and any other serious underlying medical, psychiatric, psychological, familial or geographical condition, which in the judgment of the investigator may interfere with the planned staging, treatment and follow-up, affect patient compliance or place the patient at high risk from treatment-related complications.
