Study Groups

Safety Run In: Durvalumab + Aromatase Inhibitor

Participants will be administered 1500 mg Durvalumab intravenously every 4 weeks for 6 cycles. Participants will also take standard of care 1 mg anastrozole daily by mouth for 6 months.

If 1 or fewer of six participants have a DLT, expansion stage will open to enrollment.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.

• Participants must be willing to undergo a research biopsy at baseline and after one cycle of treatment and to provide tissue obtained at surgery for biomarker and correlative studies.
• Participants must be willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow up.
• If taking herbal or natural remedies that may have immune modulatory effects, participants must be willing to discontinue use prior to first dose of durvalumab.
• Body weight over 30 kg.

Exclusion Criteria

• Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product during the last 4 weeks.
• Concurrent enrollment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (non-interventional) clinical study or during the follow up period of an interventional study.
• Inflammatory breast cancer defined as clinically significant erythema of the breast and/or documented dermal lymphatic invasion (not direct skin invasion by tumor or peau d'orange without erythema).
• An excisional biopsy of this breast cancer. Hormone replacement therapy of any type, megestrol acetate, or raloxifene within one week prior to registration.
• Surgical axillary staging procedure prior to study entry. Note: Fine needle aspiration (FNA) or core needle biopsy of axillary node is permitted.
• Treatment for this cancer including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, biotherapy, hormonal therapy or investigational agent prior to study entry.
• Any previous treatment with a PD1 or PD-L1 inhibitor, including durvalumab
• History of another primary malignancy except for malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease ≥ 5 years or adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease or adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease e.g., cervical cancer in situ.
• History of ipsilateral invasive breast cancer regardless of treatment or ipsilateral ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) treated with radiotherapy or endocrine therapy or contralateral invasive breast cancer at any time.
• Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before the first dose of durvalumab, with the exceptions of intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injections (e.g., intra-articular injection); systemic corticosteroids at physiological doses, which are not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone, or an equivalent corticosteroid; or steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., CT scan premedication).

Some exceptions apply.

Patients with a past or resolved hepatitis B infection are eligible. Patients positive for hepatitis C antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for hepatitis C RNA. Note: This is applied only to patients with known infection. Screening tests for TB, hepatitis B and C, or HIV are not required.
• Receipt of live attenuated vaccination within 30 days prior to receiving durvalumab. Note: Patients, if enrolled, should not receive live vaccine while receiving durvalumab and up to 30 days after the last dose of durvalumab.
• Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with evaluation of study treatment or interpretation of patient safety or study results.
• Participants with uncontrolled seizures.
• Participants with multi-centric breast cancer (defined as more than one lesion is invasive breast cancer in the same breast separated by ≥ 2 cm of normal breast tissue).
