About this study
Official title: Omission of Surgery for Triple-negative Breast Cancer in Complete Response Confirmed by MRI and Macrobiopsy After Neoadjuvant Chemo-immunotherapy: a Randomized, Multicenter Phase II Trial.

- Experimental arm will receive the standard treatment, except surgery
- Conditions
- Triple Negative Breast Cancer, Non-Metastatic
- Being tested
- Omission of surgery
- Medical subject headings

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Omission of surgery in people with Triple Negative Breast Cancer and Non-Metastatic, run by Institut Curie at 4 sites in France.
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 15 inclusion and 17 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 4 sites in France. 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.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Carole Cagnot, Ph.D (0147111891, drci.promotion@curie.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Assess invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) (time frame: Within 36 months after randomisation). 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 3 Jun 2026.
