Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Patients must have signed a written informed consent before inclusion
  • Patients covered by a health insurance
  • Patients must be female ≥ 18 years old
  • Patients diagnosed with a non-metastatic TNBC (ER & PR <10%, HER2- per ASCO/CAP guidelines). Patients must have been previously evaluated by a 18F-FDG PET-CT or a bone scintigraphy combined with a thorax, abdomen and pelvis CT scan with contrast
  • Patients who have undergone surgery with curative intent for their non-metastatic TNBC. Surgery must have been performed between 3 to 24 months before inclusion. Patients must have initiated their adjuvant therapy, whenever indicated, since at least 12 weeks. For patients receiving an experimental adjuvant treatment in a clinical trial, any intervention planned as part of this trial must be completed before inclusion.
  • High-risk primary tumor, defined as: a.Lack of pathological complete response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (RCB I, II or III; RCB I being capped to a maximum of 30% of included patients) OR, in the absence of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, b.Stage IIB-III (i.e., T2N1, any T3-T4, any N2-3) OR c. Any loco-regional relapse occurring after a prior ipsilateral, curatively treated TNBC

You likely can't join if

  • Any uncontrolled disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding or any other medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, interferes with the trial procedures
  • Male participants
  • Patients with altered mental status or psychiatric disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude a valid patient informed consent.
  • Patients who have difficulty undergoing trial procedures for geographic, social or psychological reasons
  • Person deprived of liberty or under guardianship
  • History of another primary malignancy except for the following : a. Basal cell carcinoma or any in situ carcinoma treated with curative intent b. Any stage I-II malignancy treated with curative intent with no evidence of active disease in the last five years 6.7. For step #2 (randomization after ctDNA detection): clinical/radiological
