Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This is a Phase II single center, open-label, non-randomized study in patients with locally recurrent, inoperable, and/or metastatic inflammatory breast cancer with lymphangitic spread to the chest wall. Patients will be treated with pembrolizumab administered as an intravenous infusion at 200 mg in 21-day treatment cycles and oral cyclophosphamide (CTX) 50 mg per day in metronomic administration as a 21 days cycle Forty-six patients will be required for the study. Key inclusion criteria are PDL1 (≥1%) positive and/or tumor infiltrating lymphocyte positive (≥1%) locally advanced "chest wall" breast cancer (with or without distant metastases), who have been treated with chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be eligible for this study. Patients with cutaneous metastases only (with or without evidence of primary tumor) are eligible for the study. Key exclusion criteria included prior anti PD1 or anti CTLA-4 or other immune pathway-targeted therapy. Patients with autoimmune diseases and/or receiving drugs who interfere with the immune system will not be eligible.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests the combination of pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) and low-dose cyclophosphamide (a chemotherapy drug) in patients with locally advanced breast cancer that has grown through or onto the chest wall. This is a difficult type of cancer to treat with standard therapies. **You may be eligible if...** - You have confirmed locally advanced breast cancer on the chest wall (with or without spread to other areas) - Your tumor shows markers that suggest the immune system may respond (PDL1 positive and/or TILs positive) - You have previously received chemotherapy or radiation therapy - You have tissue that can be biopsied during the study - You are expected to survive at least 3 months **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your tumor does not meet the PDL1 or TIL criteria - You are unable to undergo serial biopsies - Your overall health does not meet the study requirements Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
