Imlunestrant

for Early Breast Cancer

This trial is testing a new medication called imlunestrant to see if it works better than standard hormone treatments for certain breast cancer patients. The study focuses on patients with early-stage breast cancer that is estrogen receptor positive and HER2 negative, who have already been on hormone therapy for a period of time and are at high risk of their cancer returning. Imlunestrant works by blocking estrogen from helping cancer cells grow.

Sacituzumab Govitecan + Pembrolizumab

for Triple Negative Breast Cancer

The goal of this study is to find out if the experimental product, sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (SG) in combination with pembrolizumab given after surgery, is effective and safe compared to the treatment of physician's choice (TPC) which includes either pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab plus capecitabine in participants with triple negative breast cancer that still remains after surgery and pre-surgical treatment.

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.
