The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mechanism of action, as well as the safety and efficacy of trilaciclib in combination with standard of care treatment in the neoadjuvant setting of early-stage triple negative breast cancer (TNBC).
This study will have four phases: 1) Screening Phase, 2) Trilaciclib Lead-In Phase, 3) Treatment Phase, and 4) Surgery and Follow-Up Phase. After a screening phase of up to 21 day, each participant will receive trilaciclib single-dose monotherapy during the lead-in phase, followed by a tumor biopsy. During the treatment phase, each participant will receive trilaciclib with standard of care chemotherapy. Immunotherapy may be included during the treatment phase, per standard of care. 3-5 weeks following conclusion of the treatment phase, each participant will undergo definitive surgery. A 30-day Safety Follow-up Visit will occur 30 days after the last dose of trilaciclib and an End of Study Visit will occur within 14 days after definitive surgery.

- Immune-based mechanism of action [ Time Frame: Up to 8 days ]Evaluated 7 days after a single-dose of trilaciclib, measured by the change in CD8 T cells/regulatory T cells (Treg) ratio in tumor tissue.
- Pathologic Complete Response (pCR) rate [ Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks ]Rate of pCR using the definition of ypT0/Tis ypN0 (i.e., no invasive residual tumor in breast or nodes; noninvasive breast residuals allowed) as assessed by the local pathologist.
- Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (Safety and Tolerability) [ Time Frame: Up to 28 weeks ]Safety/tolerability as per CTCAE version 5.0
- Intratumoral immune profile characterization following trilaciclib [ Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks ]Characterization of molecular and immune changes based on CD8+ T cell and Treg infiltration, quantified by RNA profiling of tumor tissue before study treatment, during study treatment, and at definitive surgery.
- Kinetics of the immune response in peripheral blood [ Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks ]Longitudinal immune changes in peripheral blood, measured by frequency of immune subsets and profiling of activation, maturation, and exhaustion status.
- Kinetics of T cell function and polyfunctionality [ Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks ]Ex-vivo measurement of cytokine production to determine T cell function and polyfunctionality.
- Molecular biomarkers for clinical responsiveness [ Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks ]pCR in patients by gene signatures determined in the tumor at baseline.
- CDK4/6 dependence for clinical responsiveness [ Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks ]pCR in patients by subgroups according to CDK4/6 dependence signatures.
- PD-L1 status and clinical responsiveness [ Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks ]pCR in patients by subgroups according to PD-L1 status, as measured by IHC.
- Immune response and clinical responsiveness [ Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks ]pCR in patients by frequency of immune subsets, immunological markers, and cytokines.
