Phase 2 Study of Pembrolizumab+Carboplatin in Breast Related Cancer Antigens-related Metastatic Breast Cancer (PEMBRACA)

NCT03732391

Description:

This is a prospective two-stage single arm phase II study to be conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practices. This study will enrol 53 patients, based on a two steps Simon's design. Patients will entry into the study if the following conditions will be satisfied: - BRCA1/2 germline mutations. - Metastatic disease with measurable lesions will be evaluated by computed tomography or by PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scan. - Patients must have received anthracycline and taxanes before entry into the study. Patients will be treated with Carboplatin AUC6 (Area Under The Curve) EV (endovenous) every 3 weeks in combination with Pembrolizumab 200 mg EV every 3 weeks for 6 cycles. Afterwards, the Pembrolizumab will recontinued with the same schedule until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. The primary endpoint will be Objective Responses Rate (ORR) (complete answers + partial answers) evaluated according to the RECIST criteria.

             prior to initiation of treatment on Day 1. Subjects for whom newly-obtained samples

             pregnancy within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study medication. If
             the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test
             will be required.

         13. Female subjects of childbearing potential must be willing to use an adequate method of
             contraception as outlined in Section 5.111.2 - Contraception, for the course of the
             study through 120 days after the last dose of study medication.

             Note: Abstinence is acceptable if this is the usual lifestyle and preferred
             contraception for the subject.

         14. Male subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use an adequate method of
             contraception as outlined in Section 5.11.2- Contraception, starting with the first
             dose of study therapy through 120 days after the last dose of study therapy.

        Note: Abstinence is acceptable if this is the usual lifestyle and preferred contraception
        for the subject.

        Exclusion Criteria:

             that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject's
             participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of
             the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator.

             cooperation with the requirements of the trial.

             (Hepatitis C Virus) RNA [qualitative] is detected).

         19. Has received a live vaccine within 30 days of planned start of study therapy. Note:
             Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally inactivated flu vaccines and
