Zusammenfassung der Studie

10-20% of all patients with breast cancer have a triple-negative tumor (TNBC). TNBC not only has a less favorable course and higher mortality than other forms of breast cancer, but also more frequently affects younger people. For this reason, specific treatment forms for TNBC are being sought. One possibility could be the substance INT230-6. Studies show that achieving a complete response (pathological complete response, pCR) through treatment before the planned surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) is an important influencing factor on prognosis in TNBC. The phase II study SAKK 66/22 investigates whether the neoadjuvant administration of the investigational substance INT230-6 in the treatment of TNBC increases the rate of pCR in the primary tumor and in the affected lymph nodes (primary endpoint). Secondary endpoints include, among others, the tolerability of INT230-6, the radiological response, and the rate of breast-conserving tumor surgeries after the application of INT230-6. INT230-6 consists of a combination of cisplatin and vinblastine as well as a molecule that facilitates the distribution of the cancer drug in the tumor tissue and its penetration into the tumor cells. It is injected directly into the tumor. In mouse models, animals treated with INT230-6 survived longer than those without INT230-6 therapy. So far, there are only a few clinical studies with INT230-6, but the data is promising. The substance has been tested in patients with various types of cancer and it has been shown to be well tolerated and effective against tumors. So far, INT230-6 is not approved in any country. The study is conducted in Switzerland and France. 54 individuals with early TNBC may participate in the SAKK 66/22 study.

Untersuchte Intervention

Participants in the experimental arm receive two injections of INT230-6 directly into the tumor at eight-day intervals. Before the second injection, a biopsy is taken; after the second injection, an MRI is performed. This is followed by standard therapy.

Participants in the control arm do not receive injections into the tumor but start standard therapy immediately.

After the tumor surgery, a follow-up period of 36 months is planned. During this time, participants will be treated locally and medically at the discretion of the treating physicians.
