New treatment option for Breast Neoplasm
Official title PHOENIX DDR/Anti-PD-L1 Trial: A Pre-surgical Window of Opportunity and Post-surgical Adjuvant Biomarker Study of DNA Damage Response Inhibition With or Without Anti-PD-L1 Immunotherapy in Patients With Neoadjuvant Treatment Resistant Residual Triple Negative Breast Cancer
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03740893
What this study is testing
What is AZD6738?
AZD6738 is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for breast neoplasm.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- PHOENIX is a window of opportunity (WOP), open-label, multi-centre, phase IIa trial comprising multiple non-comparative treatment cohorts with patient allocation via minimisation (cohorts A-D) or allocation according to HRD and germline BRCA1/2 mutation status (cohorts E-G). The trial consists of two parts: a post-neoadjuvant treatment preoperative WOP component (PART 1); and a post-operative component (PART 2).
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
