a study of novel anti-cancer agents in patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer

Conditions: Triple Negative Breast Neoplasms

Summary: this study is designed to determine the efficacy and safety of durvalumab in combination with novel oncology therapies with or without paclitaxel and durvalumab + paclitaxel for first-line metastatic triple negative breast cancer

this is a phase ib/ii, 2-stage, open-label, multicenter study to determine the efficacy and safety of durvalumab in combination with novel oncology therapies (i.e. therapies designed for immune modulation) with or without paclitaxel and durvalumab + paclitaxel as first-line treatment in patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer (tnbc). the study is designed to concurrently evaluate potential novel treatment combinations with clinical promise using a 2-stage approach. the study will use a simon 2-stage design to evaluate which cohorts may proceed to expansion. part 1 is a phase ib study of safety and initial efficacy, and part 2 may expand patient enrollment if adequate efficacy signal is observed in part 1. the treatment regimens evaluated in part 2 will depend on the evaluation of safety and efficacy outcomes in part 1.
