Triple Negative Breast Neoplasms | Drug: ladiratuzumab vedotin Drug: Pembrolizumab | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the combination of LV, which targets LIV-1- expressing tumor cells, with the checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab for patients with unresectable locally-advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. These two drugs act through distinct and possibly complementary modes of action.
This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter trial. Patients given LV and pembrolizumab during dose escalation will be monitored for frequency of dose-limiting toxicities to determine a recommended doses for expansion cohorts. In addition to safety measures, objective response rate, progression-free survival, overall survival, and other efficacy outcomes will be assessed.
