Study Summary

This study looks to advance a novel and potent strategy to eliminate minimal residual disease (MRD) in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) present even after multimodal treatment, thereby improving survival and increasing cure rate in this aggressive cancer. Patients with locally advanced TNBC are at high risk of developing lethal metastatic disease within 2 years of diagnosis, especially for those without a pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The high risk occurs despite surgical excision of the primary tumor and axillary lymph nodes to eliminate residual disease.

Primary Outcome

Establish MTD of sarilumab plus capecitabine in patients with metastatic TNBC and metastatic HER2/neu-negative and hormone resistant breast cancer

Interventions

  • DRUG Capecitabine
  • COMBINATION_PRODUCT Sarilumab 150mg or 200 mg plus Capecitabine
