NCT03586297

Brief Summary

The probability of pCR in TNBC patients receiving standard of care neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment is associated with the dominance of specific intestinal and intratumoral microbiota that promote anti-tumor immunosurveillance.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Pathologic Complete Response

    The primary objective of this study is to determine if the probability of pCR (pathologic complete response) in TNBC (triple negative breast cancer) patients treated with standard of care neoadjuvant chemotherapy is correlated with variability in the composition of intestinal and intratumoral microbiota and subsequent short-term alterations in that composition.

    completion of chemotherapy, approximately 18 weeks.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Other Correlations between Pathologic complete Response

    completion of chemotherapy, approximately 18 weeks.

  • Other Correlations between Pathologic complete Response

    completion of chemotherapy, approximately 18 weeks.

  • Other Correlations between Pathologic complete Response

    completion of chemotherapy, approximately 18 weeks.
