Study Summary

This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab works in treating patients with hormone receptor positive inflammatory breast cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body, who are receiving hormone therapy and did not achieve a pathological complete response to chemotherapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Primary Outcome

Disease-free survival (DFS) is defined as the time from treatment initiation to recurrence of disease or death from any cause. Patients without an event were censored at their last disease assessment.
