Overview

This is a 3-arm study stratified by plasma ctDNA. Patients with residual TNBC disease afterve therapy will be assigned to 1 of 3 Arms based on plasma ctDNA positivity and genomic marker(s).

Description

Participants that are plasma ctDNA positive with a genomic target will be assigned to one ofhe three groups in Arm 1 and receive genomically directed therapy.
  • Arm 1a: DNA Repair pathway = talazoparib + capecitabine (CLOSED)
  • Arm 1b: Immunotherapy pathway = atezolizumab + capecitabine
  • Arm 1c: PI3K Pathway = inavolisib + capecitabine ---> atezolizumab
  • Arm 1d: DNA Repair + Immunotherapy = talazoparib + atezolizumab + capecitabine
Participants that are plasma ctDNA positive without a genomic target will be assigned to Arm 2 and receive capecitabine or treatment of physician's choice.
Participants that are plasma ctDNA negative will be assigned to Arm 3 and receive any of thewing based on patient and physician decision: no therapy/observation, capecitabine orhysician's choice.

Eligibility

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions:
    Breast Cancer, Triple Negative Breast Cancer

  • Age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent.
  • ECOG Performance Status 0 or 1 within 21 days prior to study registration.
  • Must have histologically or cytologically confirmed triple negative (ER-/PR-/HER2-)vasive breast cancer per pathology report. NOTE: ER and PR will be consideredgative if ≤ 10% of cells stain weakly positive. HER2 will be considered negative ifd 0 or 1+ by immunohistochemistry (IHC) or 2+ by IHC associated with auorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) ratio of < 2.0 or < 6 copies per cell.
  • Must have clinical stage I-III at diagnosis (AJCC 8th edition) based on initialvaluation by physical examination and/or breast imaging prior to neoadjuvanthemotherapy.

Bisphosphonate use is allowed.
  • Subjects receiving pembrolizumab are eligible and may continue treatment during theg process. Subjects assigned to Arm 1 will require a 3 week wash out periodudy treatment. Subjects assigned to Arm 2 and Arm 3 mayue pembrolizumab treatment during the study based on investigator discretion.
  • Must have significant residual invasive disease at the time of definitive surgerywing preoperative chemotherapy. Significant residual disease is defined as athe following:
    • Residual invasive disease in the breast measuring at least 1 cm. The presence ofDCIS without invasion does not qualify as residual disease in the breast.
    • Any macroscopic, ≥ 2mm, lymph node involvement regardless of primary tumor sitevolvement (includes no residual disease in the breast).
    • Residual cancer burden (RCB) score 2 or 3.
  • Must have completed definitive resection of primary tumor. Participants must begin
    assigned arm therapy no later than 84 days from the last local therapy. NOTE: Negativegins for both invasive and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) are desirable, howeverwith positive margins may enroll if the study site treatment teambelieves no further surgery is possible and participant has received radiotherapy.Participants with margins positive for lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) are eligible.her mastectomy or breast conserving surgery (including lumpectomy or partialy) is acceptable.
  • Breast Radiotherapy
    • Radiotherapy is required for participants who underwent breast-conservingherapy, including lumpectomy or partial mastectomy.
    • Post mastectomy radiation is at the discretion of the treating physician.
    • If radiation was given prior to surgery, additional radiation after surgery isquired.
    • In all cases participants must begin arm assigned therapy no later than 84 dayshe last local therapy
    • Any acute toxicity must have resolved to grade < 2 prior to starting arm specificherapy.
  • Must consent to allow submission of blood and archived tumor tissue sample from
    definitive surgery for next generation sequencing of the tumor. Tumor block isd however 14 slides + 1H&E can be submitted if necessary. NOTE: Due toble false positives, ctDNA should not be drawn before completing radiation orhan 14 days from surgery if radiation is not required.

    partners must be willing to use effective contraception (as outlined in protocol) fromhe time consent is signed until after protocol therapy discontinuation based onkage insert or investigator brochure guidelines (See protocol for timeframes).
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening andwithin 7 days prior to study registration. Women should be counseled regardingble birth control methods to utilize. If prior to treatment after discussionwith the subject it is felt by the treating physician there is a possibility theubject is pregnant a pregnancy test should be repeated. NOTE: Women are consideredhildbearing potential if they are surgically sterile (they have undergone ahysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy), or they areusal for at least 12 consecutive months.
