Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Predictive biomarkers of response to combination chemotherapy and immune-checkpoint inhibitors are urgently needed to help tailor treatment recommendations for patients with early-stage TNBC. Tumour-associated microbiota in primary breast tumours represent promising and novel candidate biomarkers modulators of the efficacy of therapies for patients with TNBC. It has been shown that microbes colonizing breast tumours can modulate the efficacy of commonly used drugs and that the microbiome of breast tissue biopsies could represent a new biomarker. Data on the microbiome of patients with cancer indicate the potential for a new class of bacteria-based oncological biomarkers, for exploitation in precision oncology.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Be willing and able to provide written informed consent for the trial in accordance with national/local guidelines.
2. Be a male or female subject 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent.
3. Histologically proven infiltrating carcinoma of the breast on core needle biopsy that is:

HER2 negative in primary tumour pre-treatment by local pathology assessed according current ASCO/CAP guidelines: In situ hybridization non-amplified (ratio of HER2 to CEP17 \< 2.0 or single probe average HER2 gene copy number \< 4 signals/cell), OR Immunohistochemistry (IHC) 0 or IHC 1+.

ER and PR negative in primary tumour pre-treatment defined as \< 10% of cells expressing hormonal receptors via IHC analysis by local laboratory assessment.
4. Unresected, untreated breast cancer planned to undergo neoadjuvant systemic therapy, that meets one of the following clinical stages (see Appendix A):

o T2, T3, or T4a-d lesion, any N, M0
5. Be willing to undergo mandatory research biopsy procedure at baseline (up to 4 core samples may be taken from this procedure).

Exclusion Criteria

1. Patients who are pregnant or breast-feeding
2. Current use of any investigational agents
3. History or current evidence of any condition, therapy, lab abnormality or other circumstance that in the opinion of the investigator might expose the subject to risk by participating in the trial, confound the results of the trial, or interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the trial.
