Summary
This trial is testing if giving carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel before surgery can help treat triple negative breast cancer.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for women with a specific breast cancer type called triple negative, which has spread locally or is inflammatory. They must have good heart function and normal liver tests, no prior treatments for this cancer, and agree to use contraception. It's not open to those with recent other cancers, certain infections like HIV or hepatitis B/C, neuropathy above grade 1, or if they can't follow the study rules.
What is being tested?
The trial tests how well carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy work when given before surgery in shrinking tumors of patients with advanced triple negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if these drugs can reduce tumor size enough so less normal tissue needs removal during surgery.
What are the potential side effects?
Carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel may cause side effects such as fatigue, hair loss, nausea, numbness in fingers or toes (neuropathy), low blood cell counts increasing infection risk and bleeding problems. Some side effects might be serious enough to stop treatment.
