What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants Who Had a Pathological Complete Response (pCR)

    pCR is defined as no histologic evidence of invasive tumor cells in the surgical breast specimen, axillary nodes, or sentinel node identified after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (ypT0/Tis ypN0).

    Measured: up to 16 weeks

  2. Number of Participants Who Had a Pathological Complete Response (pCR)

    pCR is defined as no histologic evidence of invasive tumor cells in the surgical breast specimen, axillary nodes, or sentinel node identified after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (ypT0/Tis ypN0).

    Measured: up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Nivolumab 360mg, Paclitaxel 80mg/m^2 and Doxorubicin 60mg/m^2 in people with Breast Cancer, run by NYU Langone Health at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Feb 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants Who Had a Pathological Complete Response (pCR) (time frame: up to 16 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Dec 2023.
