Study Summary
This trial is testing a new drug, berzosertib, to see if it's effective in treating triple negative breast cancer. The drug is given with radiation therapy, and the hope is that it will kill more tumor cells than radiation therapy alone.
Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with certain types of breast cancer (triple-negative or hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative) that didn't respond to chemotherapy can join. They must have completed surgery and possibly postoperative chemo recently, be in good health otherwise, and agree to use contraception. People with recent chemo, prior radiation in the same area, uncontrolled illnesses, or known hypersensitivity to similar drugs are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Berzosertib combined with standard radiation therapy against breast cancer that resisted chemotherapy. It aims to find the best dose of Berzosertib which blocks enzymes needed for cell growth and may enhance the effectiveness of radiation therapy.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to DNA repair inhibition which could affect cell growth leading to fatigue, digestive issues or blood disorders. Specific side effects from combining Berzosertib with radiation aren't fully known but will be monitored closely.

Eligibility Criteria:
This trial includes the following eligibility criteria:- I had immediate reconstruction after my mastectomy.My breast cancer is triple-negative or has low hormone receptor levels, and I've had specific chemotherapy.I have recovered from previous cancer treatment side effects, except for hair loss and mild nerve pain.I have not had chemotherapy in the last 4 weeks.You had allergic reactions to drugs similar to berzosertib.I am not pregnant or able to become pregnant, and will use birth control during and after the study.I have had cancer before, but it was either skin cancer that wasn't melanoma or a non-invasive type that didn't affect my current treatment.Your platelet count is within the normal range for the specific medical facility.I had breast surgery with clear margins, or surgery for recurrent breast cancer with some untreated areas allowed.My kidney function is normal or only slightly impaired.I can take care of myself but might not be able to do heavy physical work.I have lupus, scleroderma, or dermatomyositis with high CPK levels.I am not taking any strong medication that affects how drugs are processed in my body.I finished my last breast surgery or chemotherapy between 21 to 90 days ago.My surgical wound has fully healed without any infection.I am 18 years old or older.Your white blood cell count is normal or higher.I had hepatitis C but am now cured, or I am being treated with no detectable virus.Your white blood cell count is within a certain range.I am not on any experimental drugs but can be on hormone therapy or bisphosphonates.I am not pregnant or breastfeeding.I am getting radiation therapy for breast cancer, including the chest wall and nearby lymph nodes, on one side only.I am HIV positive, on treatment, and my viral load has been undetectable for the last 6 months.My hepatitis B virus is under control with treatment.I have had radiation therapy on the same side as my current breast or chest cancer.I do not have any serious ongoing illnesses that are not under control.I do not have genetic conditions like Li Fraumeni syndrome that make me extra sensitive to radiation, but I may have mutations in genes like BRCA1 or BRCA2.Your total bilirubin level is not higher than 1.5 times the normal limit at the study site.I have breast cancer and received anthracycline or taxane before surgery, regardless of the number of treatments.Your AST and ALT levels in your blood should not be more than three times the normal limit.
