Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for patients with high-risk breast cancer who have received initial chemotherapy and still have some cancer left after surgery. Participants will undergo a combination of chemotherapy and radiation and will help researchers understand how this affects the immune system.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
I am 18 years or older
I have been diagnosed with stage I-IIIB breast cancer
I have received at least 3 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy
I have had surgery and found to have some cancer left
I am scheduled to start radiation within 12 weeks after surgery
I agree to use contraception if I can become pregnant
I am willing to comply with all study procedures
You may not be able to join if
I have had a mastectomy with expander placement or immediate reconstructions
I am pregnant or breastfeeding
I have a serious infection requiring IV antibiotics
I have been diagnosed with systemic lupus or scleroderma
I have known allergies to capecitabine or T-DM1

Think this trial could be right for you?
Answer a few quick questions to see if you may meet the eligibility requirements.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of adjuvant chemoradiation therapy in high-risk breast cancer patients who had received neoadjuvant chemotherapy before their lumpectomy and/or mastectomy and were found to have residual disease. As well as examine the effects of this treatment combination on the immune system.
