Researchers are looking for new ways to treat types of breast cancer that are both:

* High-risk, which means the cancer may have a higher chance of getting worse or coming back after treatment
* Early-stage, which means the cancer is in the breast or the lymph nodes around the breast The 2 types of breast cancer in this study are triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and hormone receptor (HR)-low positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) negative breast cancer. These cancers have zero or a low amount of a protein called HER2 and other proteins that attach to the hormones estrogen or progesterone.

Sacituzumab tirumotecan (also known as sac-TMT or MK-2870), the study medicine, is a type of targeted therapy. A targeted therapy is a treatment that works to control how specific types of cancer cells grow and spread.

The main goals of this study are to learn if people who receive sac-TMT, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy:

* Have fewer cancer cells found in the tumors and lymph nodes removed during surgery compared to those who receive only pembrolizumab and chemotherapy
* Live longer without the cancer growing, spreading, or coming back compared to people who receive only pembrolizumab with chemotherapy

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of zanidatamab plus chemotherapy versus trastuzumab plus chemotherapy.

The purpose of this is a prospective, pilot, single-arm study to evaluate the median percent change in C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTx) after WBF-038 in early-stage breast cancer patients receiving aromatase inhibitors after 3- and 12-month treatment. 

The purpose of this study is to evaluate invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) of multi-epitope HER2 vaccine vs. placebo in combination with ado-trastuzumab emtansine (TTT-DM1) in patients with stage II-III HER2+ breast cancer with residual disease post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and to evaluate the safety of multi-epitope HER2 vaccine given concurrently with T-DM1 maintenance therapy.

The purpose of this study is to identify who may or may not be a good fit for specific cancer treatments. Investigators will be attempting to identify markers that may make someone resistant to specific therapies in order to avoid harsh treatments that would not be effective or target more effective treatments at the offset.

This is a prospective, pilot, single arm study to evaluate the incidence of IIC in patients with solid malignancies receiving VSL#3 and ICIs. Given the fact that the effects of over-the-counter probiotics in reducing the risks of IIC remains largely unknown. Given that this is a small pilot study to generate preliminary data, there will be no randomization in this trial. The results of this trial will provide a foundation for the future development of larger definitive randomized controlled trials. Patients with solid malignancy who will be receiving ICI as per standard of care will be enrolled in this trial.  Patients will receive VSL#3® 450B sachets probiotics, which will be provided as part of this trial, at least 3 days but preferably 1-2 weeks prior to starting on ICIs. Patients will be followed per standard of care during ICI treatment and continue VSL#3 for 12 more weeks while on ICI. Patients will complete dietary questionnaire and have research blood draws and stool collections at baseline prior to starting VSL#3 and 3 additional time points. Adherence to the probiotic schedule will be captured in a study diary.  Adverse events as well as incidence and severity of IIC will be graded using NCI CTCAE version 5. Patients will have imaging performed per standard of care.

Primary Goal

• To evaluate the incidence of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI)-induced colitis (IIC) in patients with solid malignancies receiving over-the-counter multi-strain probiotic blend and ICIs in both cohorts: (1) anti-CTLA-4 +/- anti-PD-1/PD-L1, and (2) anti-PD-1/PD-L1 +/- chemo.  

Secondary Goals

• To evaluate the safety of multi-strain probiotic blend in cancer patients receiving ICIs.
• To evaluate the clinical outcomes related to IIC, including the incidence of IIC, hospitalization, treatment delays, and administration of immunosuppressants.

Exploratory Goals

• To evaluate changes in gut microbiome with ICIs and multi-strain probiotic blend.
• To evaluate changes in immune response with ICIs and multi-strain probiotic blend.

The purpose of this study is to identify who may or may not be a good fit for specific cancer treatments. Investigators will be attempting to identify markers that may make someone resistant to specific therapies in order to avoid harsh treatments that would not be effective or target more effective treatments at the offset.

This randomized phase III trial studies doxorubicin hydrochloride, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel to see how well they work with or without bevacizumab in treating patients with cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes (lymph node-positive) or cancer that has not spread to the lymph nodes but is at high risk for returning (high-risk, lymph node-negative breast cancer). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of breast cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery and help prevent the tumor from returning. It is not yet known whether doxorubicin hydrochloride, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel are more effective with or without bevacizumab.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate SV-BR-1-GM in metastatic or locally recurrent breast cancer patients, in combination with the PD-1 inhibitor INCMGA00012 and the IDO inhibitor epacadostat. Patients who with advanced breast cancer who have failed prior therapies will be eligible to enroll in this study. The study will evaluate SV-BR-1-GM in combination with INCMGA00012 and epacadostat. Treatment cycles will be every 3 weeks with evaluations for tumor progression or response every 6-12 weeks.

This is a randomised, open label multi-centre phase III study comparing the activity of lapatinib alone versus trastuzumab alone versus trastuzumab followed by lapatinib versus lapatinib concomitantly with trastuzumab in the adjuvant treatment of patients with ErbB2 overexpressing and/or amplified breast cancer. Patients will be enrolled according to one of two design schemas, with Design 2 having two chemotherapy options (Design 2 and 2B), and will be randomised to one of four treatment regimens within each design schema. The primary objective of this study is to compare disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with HER2 overexpressing and/or amplified breast cancer randomised to trastuzumab for one year versus lapatinib for one year versus trastuzumab (12 or 18 weeks, according to assigned design) followed by a six-week treatment-free interval followed by lapatinib (28 or 34 weeks, according to assigned design) versus trastuzumab in combination with lapatinib for one year (52 weeks). Secondary objectives include treatment comparisons with respect to overall survival, time to recurrence, time to distant recurrence, safety and tolerability, incidence of brain metastasis, and analyses conducted separately for cohorts of patients defined by presence or absence of cMyc oncogene amplification, expression level of PTEN and presence or absence of the p95HER2 receptor. On August 18, 2011, the ALTTO Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) met to review the first planned interim analysis. The IDMC reported that the comparison of lapatinib alone versus trastuzumab alone crossed the futility boundary, indicating that the lapatinib alone arm was unlikely to meet the pre-specified criteria to demonstrate non-inferiority to trastuzumab alone with respect to disease-free survival (DFS). The IDMC also stated that the other three arms (trastuzumab alone, sequential trastuzumab/lapatinib arm and the combination arm) should continue as planned with no changes.

This study will examine the safety and effectiveness of pertuzumab combined with high-dose trastuzumab in adult patients who have HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to the central nervous system and the brain following radiation therapy.

The purpose of this study is to study to collect tissue samples from patients with early stage hormone receptor-positive HER2-negative breast cancer.  

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well multi-epitope folate receptor alpha peptide vaccine, sargramostim, and cyclophosphamide work in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer. Vaccines made from a person's white blood cells mixed with tumor proteins may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving multi-epitope folate receptor alpha peptide vaccine, sargramostim, and cyclophosphamide may work better in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer.

The purpose of this study is to find out if using probiotics will help the body's immune system react to breast cancer. New studies showed that diverse species of bacteria inside the bowel might help improve immune system, particularly the ability of immune system to recognize cancer. This study will investigate how probiotics will affect the subjects' immune system on breast cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether engineering gut microbiome using probiotics will alter host immunological response to breast and lung cancers.

The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between HER2 specific T-cell response in HER2-positive breast cancer patients with stage I-IV who receive anti-HER2 therapies, such as trastuzumab, pertuzumab, lapatinib, or neratinib and clinical responses.

The primary purposes of this study are to is to assess safety and tolerability of IV administration of TVH vaccine alone and in combination with HER2 antibodies in patients with advanced cancer.

This phase I/II trial studies the best dose of pembrolizumab and binimetinib and how well it works when giving together with pembrolizumab in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Binimetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pembrolizumab and binimetinib may work better in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer.

We hypothesize that cancer patients on cytotoxic chemotherapy which affect immune response may not mount adequate immune response to COVID-19 vaccines.

Aims, purpose, or objectives:

1. To determine the antibody response to COVID-19 vaccine after vaccination.
2. To assess the adverse events of COVID-19 vaccines in cancer patients.
3. To determine the incidence and severity of COVID-19 infection after the vaccination.

The purpose of this study is to see if anti-HER2 treatment be safely stopped in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) that have had exceptional response to treatment. Exceptional response" is considered as cancer progression being controlled for three years or more since starting anti-HER2 treatment.
