Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Upfront Breast Surgery
Patients will have the microdevice implanted prior to breast surgery, in the absence of neoadjuvant chemotherapy
|
Device: KIBUR MICRODEVICE
This device contains 16 reservoirs, each with a unique single agent or drug combination in microdose amounts of less than one millionth of a systemic patient dose. The device is implanted directly into the tumor during a biopsy procedure, and remains in situ for ~24 hours. |
Experimental: Neoadjuvant Therapy
Patients will have the device placed and retrieved on a core biopsy the following day, then receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to definitive breast surgery.

Device: KIBUR MICRODEVICE
This device contains 16 reservoirs, each with a unique single agent or drug combination in microdose amounts of less than one millionth of a systemic patient dose. The device is implanted directly into the tumor during a biopsy procedure, and remains in situ for ~24 hours. Drug: anthracycline and taxane based chemotherapy Conventional, standard of care neoadjuvant chemotherapy delivered irrespective of device readout |
- number of implantable devices [ Time Frame: 1 year ]If we are able to collect data from at least 6 out of the 12 patients, we will deem this study feasible to conduct in a larger cohort of patients.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients with histologically confirmed invasive breast cancer that is: Triple negative (ER<10%, PR<10%, and HER2 0/1+ or 2+/FISH not amplified)
- Tumor size 2cm or greater; N any; M0
- Tumor size 1cm or greater; N any; M0 (Cohort 1)

- Age >18 years of age
- ECOG performance status of ≤2
- Serum or urine pregnancy test negative within 2 weeks for women of childbearing potential.
- Willing and able to provide informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior treatment including surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy for the current primary breast cancer.
- Severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational device administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this
