Summary

This trial is testing the possible anti-cancer effect of pelareorep in combination with chemotherapy and avelumab in treating HR+/HER2- breast cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women over 18 with advanced or metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer that has worsened after hormone therapy and a CDK4/6 inhibitor. Participants must have good performance status, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, agree to use contraception if of childbearing potential, and cannot have other active cancers or certain health conditions.
What is being tested?
The BRACELET-1 study tests the effectiveness of pelareorep combined with paclitaxel chemotherapy and avelumab immunotherapy against breast cancer compared to paclitaxel alone or with pelareorep. It aims to see if this combination can better control the spread of cancer.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include typical reactions from chemotherapy like nausea, fatigue, hair loss; immune-related issues such as inflammation from avelumab; and flu-like symptoms possibly caused by pelareorep.
