Study summary

This trial studies ladiratuzumab vedotin (LV) with pembrolizumab in patients with triple-negative breast cancer. It will find out what side effects happen when participants get these two drugs. A side effect is anything the drugs do besides treating cancer. Pembrolizumab is a drug that can be used to treat triple-negative breast cancer. The trial will also find out if these drugs work to treat this type of cancer. Participants in this study have metastatic breast cancer. This means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.

Read the detailed description

The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the combination of LV, which targets LIV-1- expressing tumor cells, with the checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab for patients with unresectable locally-advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. These two drugs act through distinct and possibly complementary modes of action.

This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter trial. Patients given LV and pembrolizumab during dose escalation will be monitored for frequency of dose-limiting toxicities to determine a recommended doses for expansion cohorts. In addition to safety measures, objective response rate, progression-free survival, overall survival, and other efficacy outcomes will be assessed.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

HER2

HER2 is a protein, made from the ERBB2 gene, that drives the growth of some cancers. A study may look for a level of the protein, extra copies of the gene, or a particular change in it.

In breast cancer, protein tests are read as HER2-positive, HER2-low or HER2-negative; other cancers use their own rules. Check which test result the study requires.

PD-1, PD-L1 and checkpoint inhibitors

PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 are proteins that act as brakes on the immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors, such as pembrolizumab or nivolumab, block them so the immune system can attack a cancer.

PD-L1 can also be measured in a tumour sample. Some scores count stained tumour cells only (TPS); others also count certain immune cells (CPS). The study names the score and the minimum it uses.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Brain metastases

Cancer deposits in the brain from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (CNS metastases include the spinal cord).

Studies differ: some leave out any brain metastases, some accept ones treated and stable for some weeks. Check what this study allows.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

CR: disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (reduction in short axis to \<10 mm). PR: \>=30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, taking reference baseline sum diameters. Progression: at least a 20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, reference smallest sum on study (includes baseline sum if that is smallest on study). In addition to relative increase of 20%, sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 0.5 cm. Appearance of one or more new lesions. Kaplan-Meier method used for DOR evaluation. DOR was only calculated for subgroup of participants who achieved a confirmed CR or PR.

    Time frame: From the date of first CR or PR until the date of the first documentation of progression or death, or censoring date, whichever came first (maximum up to 30 months)

  2. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    DCR was defined as percentage of participants with CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) per RECIST v1.1. CR: disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. PR: \>=30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. SD: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progression, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. Progression: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference smallest sum on study (this includes baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 0.5 cm. Appearance of one or more new lesions. Clopper-Pearson method was used for 95% confidence interval.

    Time frame: From start of study treatment up to date of CR or PR or SD (maximum up to 30 months)

  3. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from start of study treatment to first documentation of disease progression based upon the disease assessment per RECISTv1.1 or clinical progression, or to death due to any cause, whichever came first. Progression: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 0.5 cm. The appearance of one or more new lesions. Kaplan-Meier method was used for PFS evaluation.

    Time frame: From start of study treatment until the date of the first documentation of progression or death, or censoring date, whichever came first (maximum up to 30 months)

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time from start of study treatment to date of death due to any cause. In the absence of confirmation of death, OS was censored at the last date the participant was known to be alive. Kaplan-Meier method was used for OS evaluation.

SecondaryDisease Control Rate (DCR)

DCR was defined as percentage of participants with CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) per RECIST v1.1. CR: disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. PR: \>=30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. SD: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progression, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. Progression: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference smallest sum on study (this includes baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 0.5 cm. Appearance of one or more new lesions. Clopper-Pearson method was used for 95% confidence interval.

SecondaryProgression-Free Survival (PFS)

PFS was defined as the time from start of study treatment to first documentation of disease progression based upon the disease assessment per RECISTv1.1 or clinical progression, or to death due to any cause, whichever came first. Progression: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 0.5 cm. The appearance of one or more new lesions. Kaplan-Meier method was used for PFS evaluation.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Feb 2018 to primary completion in Sep 2024, 79 months.

Results were first posted in Dec 2025, 1 year 2 months after primary completion.

Of 70 industry-sponsored phase 1/2 interventional studies under Triple Negative Breast Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 54 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 44 and three quarters within 77. This study's 79 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 118 studies reached it within 56 months; a quarter within 43 and three quarters within 79.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 12, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
