Window of Opportunity Trial, PARP Inhibitor Rucaparib Affect on PD-L1 Expression in Triple Negative Breast Tumors

NCT03911453

Description:

This is a single arm window of opportunity trial conducted in patients with early stage triple negative breast tumors to evaluate if treatment with a Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor will increase expression of programmed cell death-1 with ligand (PD-L1) in triple negative breast tumors.

Purpose

This is a single arm window of opportunity trial conducted in patients with early stage triple negative breast tumors to evaluate if treatment with a Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor will increase expression of programmed cell death-1 with ligand (PD-L1) in triple negative breast tumors.

Detailed Description

      This is a single arm window of opportunity trial conducted in patients with early stage
      triple negative breast tumors. Patients who are planning to undergo surgery as part of their
      initial treatment will be eligible for this study. They will be treated with single agent
      rucaparib for 3 weeks and then proceed to surgery. Core-biopsies obtained at the time of
      diagnosis and tumor from the surgical resection will be assessed for change in expression of
      PD-L1 by Immunohistochemical assay (IHC).

          5. Have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent
             document in accordance with institutional and federal guidelines

          6. Be ≥ 21 years of age

          7. Have serum creatinine < 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (IULN) or a
             calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 30ml/min (calculated by Cockcroft Gault equation),
             bilirubin ≤ 2.0, and an serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT)/s erum glutamic

             pregnancy during the study and for at least 6 months after the last dose of rucaparib.
             Female and male patients of reproductive potential must practice highly effective
             methods of contraception with their partners, if of reproductive potential, during
             treatment and for 6 months following last dose of rucaparib
