Brief Title: A Pilot Preoperative Trial of Ganetespib With Paclitaxel for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Official Title: A Pilot Preoperative Trial of Ganetespib With Paclitaxel for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Study ID: NCT02637375
Brief Summary: Based on preclinical data implicating GR, AR, and JAK/STAT activation as potent mechanisms of breast cancer cell survival despite chemotherapy administration (i.e. chemotherapy resistance), the study will test a novel approach for improving chemotherapy effectiveness by adding Hsp90 inhibition to antagonize the anti-apoptotic signaling pathways that are initiated via GR, AR, and JAK/STAT activation.
Detailed Description: STUDY OBJECTIVES Primary: • To determine tumor GR, AR, JAK and other Hsp90 client protein expression before and after two weeks of ganetespib monotherapy Secondary: * To determine the pathological Complete Response (pCR) rate associated with weekly treatment of ganetespib plus paclitaxel followed by the combination treatment of doxorubicin plus cyclophosphamide * To characterize the toxicity of study treatment
