Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Study combination use of cisplatin plus romidepsin and nivolumab in metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) or BRCA mutation-associated locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Breast Cancer	Drug: Romidepsin Drug: Cisplatin Drug: Nivolumab	Phase 1/Phase 2

Detailed Description

Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer related death in American women. Despite recent improvement in the treatment of breast cancer, 40,000 women per year still die in the U.S.as a result of breast cancer. Once the disease has gotten worse (progressed) after standard chemotherapy treatments, there are limited treatment options and the likelihood for patients to recover is very small.

The study will be done in two phases:

Phase I will determine the highest dose of romidepsin that is safe and tolerable to take in combination with cisplatin.

Phase II will determine if taking romidepsin (at the dose determined in Phase I) in combination with cisplatin and nivolumab is safe and effective in treating patients with breast cancer.

Phase I will complete before Phase II begins.
