NeoCARD: Anthracycline-Free Chemoimmunotherapy for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

This study is testing a new treatment combination for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in patients who cannot receive standard anthracycline-based chemotherapy due to heart conditions. The treatment involves three medicines: carboplatin, paclitaxel, and pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer). Researchers want to see how well this combination shrinks tumors before surgery. The main goal is to measure the pCR rate (pathologic complete response, meaning no cancer cells are found in the breast and lymph nodes after treatment) at 18 weeks. You may be eligible if you have Stage II or IIIA/B TNBC. The study plans to enroll 43 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is a single-arm study, meaning all participants receive the same treatment. It plans to enroll 43 participants.
What's involved
You would receive carboplatin, paclitaxel, and pembrolizumab for 12-18 weeks. The primary outcome is measured at 18 weeks.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoint is measured at 18 weeks after treatment begins.
