Purpose

The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a combination of immunotherapy and anticancer drugs presurgery in patients with hormone-receptor positive breast cancer.

Detailed Description

      The primary hypothesis is that a Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) immune checkpoint
      inhibitor combined with a Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor will be well
      tolerated in early stage, hormone receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer patients treated with
      neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NET). The secondary hypothesis and biomarker based endpoint is
      that patients with HR positive locally advanced breast cancer with low to intermediate
      stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) will demonstrate an increase in stromal TILs
      following NET when combined with abemaciclib and durvalumab for 4 cycles (16 weeks).

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. A signed, written informed consent will be obtained from the subject prior to
             performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations.

          2. Postmenopausal women age ≥ 18 years at time of study entry. Women will be considered
             post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative
             medical cause. The following age-specific requirements apply:

               -  Women <50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been
                  amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal
                  treatments and if they have luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone
                  levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution or underwent surgical
                  sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy).

               -  Women <50 years of age receiving luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH)
                  agonist for ovarian suppression are also eligible for the study but must initiate
                  LHRH agonist therapy at least 2 weeks prior to starting on study intervention.

               -  Women ≥ 50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been
                  amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal
                  treatments, had radiation-induced menopause with last menses >1 year ago, had
                  chemotherapy-induced menopause with last menses >1 year ago, or underwent
                  surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or
                  hysterectomy).
