About this study

The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and effectiveness of using durvalumab with trastuzumab and pertuzumab in participants with HER2-enriched breast cancer. The standard or usual pre-surgery treatment for this type of disease are drugs called trastuzumab and pertuzumab that target HER2. Studies have shown that trastuzumab and pertuzumab treatment can stimulate the body's own immune system to attack cancer cells. Durvalumab is a drug that also activates the immune system. The use of durvalumab together with trastuzumab and pertuzumab treatment may allow the immune system to work harder to kill cancer cells.

  • Primary tumor greater than 1 cm diameter, measured by clinical examination and mammography or echography.
  • Any nodal status
  • Bilateral breast cancers that individually meet eligibility criteria are allowed.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1.
  • Adequate organ and marrow function.
  • Baseline left ventricular ejection fraction greater than or equal to 50%, as measured by multigated acquisition scan or echocardiogram.
  • Evidence of postmenopausal status or negative serum pregnancy test for premenopausal patients. Negative serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment for premenopausal patients.
  • Willing to provide biopsy tissues as required by the study.
  • Willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow-up.

Exclusion criteria

  • Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product within 28 days prior to the first dose of study treatment.
  • Concurrent enrollment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (non-interventional) clinical study or during the follow-up period of an interventional study.
  • Unresolved or unstable adverse events from prior administration of another investigational drug.
  • Any concurrent chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or biologic therapy for cancer treatment.

  • Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders.
  • History of active primary immunodeficiency.
  • Active infection including tuberculosis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus.
  • Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment.
  • Receipt of live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of study treatment.
  • Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding or patients of reproductive potential who are not willing to employ effective birth control from screening to 7 months after the last dose of study treatment.
  • Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or any of the study drug excipients.
  • Patients with a mean QT interval of greater than or equal to 470ms calculated from 3 EKGs
  • Patients with underlying cardiovascular conditions that have recently undergone interventions including: cardiac ventricular arrhythmia requiring medication, history of second or third degree AV blocks, myocardial infarction with the previous year, congestive heart failure, and unstable angina

    Time frame: 18 weeks

    Determine pCR rate in the breast in patients whose tumors have <5% and ≥5% tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs)

  2. pCR Rate in Patients With (PD-L1)-Positive and PD-L1-Negative Tumors

    Time frame: 18 weeks

    Determine pCR rate in the breast in patients with programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive and PD-L1-negative tumors

  3. Three-year Disease-free Survival (DFS) Rate in Patients Who Achieve pCR

    Time frame: 3 years

    Determination of 3-year DFS rate in patients who achieve pCR

  4. Number of Participants With Treatment-related Adverse Events

    Time frame: 18 weeks
