  Purpose

This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the effectiveness of an investigational drug, which is cisplatin in this trial, to learn how well it works in treating a specific cancer. "Investigational" means that cisplatin is still being studied for use in this setting and that research doctors are trying to find out more about it-in this case, how effective cisplatin is for treating breast cancer in BRCA mutation carriers. It also means that the FDA has not yet approved cisplatin for your type of cancer. Cisplatin has been approved by the FDA for treatment of other cancers.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate cisplatin, a chemotherapy drug that has been shown to be active in the treatment of women with breast cancer and a BRCA mutation. In this study, we are comparing cisplatin to the standard chemotherapy, doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide ("AC") that you might receive if you did not participate in this study.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • pCR to neoadjuvant cisplatin vs. pCR to AC [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    To determine if the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate (determined by the Miller-Payne method) to neoadjuvant cisplatin is at least 20% greater than the pCR to doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide (AC) in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer and a germline BRCA mutation.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Residual Cancer Burden after neoadjuvant cisplatin or AC [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    To determine the Residual Cancer Burden (RCB) after neoadjuvant cisplatin or doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide (AC) in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer and a germline BRCA mutation.

  • Clinical response rate [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    To determine the clinical response rate, defined as the number of partial and complete responses, after preoperative therapy with either cisplatin or AC in participants with germline BRCA mutation and breast cancer.

  • Comparison of toxicities of cisplatin and AC [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    To compare the toxicities of cisplatin and AC preoperative chemotherapy in BRCA mutation carriers with newly diagnosed breast cancer. Toxicities including (but not limited to) hematologic, GI (e.g., Nausea/vomitting), renal and neurologic will be assessed.

  • Collection of pre-chemotherapy biopsies [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Pretreatment tumor biopsies will be analyzed using genome wide SNP profiling to determine number of regions of telomeric allelic imbalance (NtAI) and chromosome 15q26 copy number, and chromosome 8q22 copy number. Tumor sections will be examined for gene amplifications, losses and NtAI in tumors. Gene expression profiling will be performed to determine intrinsic subtype (basal-like, claudin-low, etc.) and to measure biomarker genes including BLM and FANCI associated with cisplatin sensitivity or LAPTM4B and YWHAZ associated with anthracycline resistance. Exploratory analysis will be performed to seek new measures of therapy response using the data from DNA copy number and gene expression profiles. In addition, we will plan to perform whole exome and possibly whole genome sequencing of tumors to identify potential modifiers of response to therapy.
