Omitting Radiation Therapy

for Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects on low risk breast cancer receiving usual care that includes regional radiation therapy, with receiving no regional radiation therapy. Researchers want to see if not giving this type of radiation treatment works as well at preventing breast cancer from coming back.

Giredestrant + Hormone Therapy

for Early-Stage Breast Cancer

This trial is testing giredestrant, a medication given after initial treatment to prevent breast cancer from returning. It focuses on patients with a specific type of early-stage breast cancer that is hormone-driven and at higher risk of recurrence. Giredestrant works by blocking the hormone estrogen from helping cancer cells grow. Giredestrant has shown promise in previous studies.

Pembrolizumab

for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

The phase III trial compares the effect of pembrolizumab to observation for the treatment of patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer who achieved a pathologic complete response after preoperative chemotherapy in combination with pembrolizumab. 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. This trial may help researchers determine if observation will result in the same risk of cancer coming back as pembrolizumab after surgery in triple-negative breast cancer patients who achieve pathologic complete response after preoperative chemotherapy with pembrolizumab.
