Ivermectin and Balstilimab in Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer

What is the Purpose of this Study?

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether concurrent use of oral ivermectin and intravenous (IV) balstilimab is safe and effective in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer. Researchers want to know the most effective dosage of ivermectin when combined with balstilimab and whether patients will experience increased length of time during treatment that the cancer does not worsen. The study will also evaluate how well the body responds to the treatment. Researchers also aim to learn more about immune cells and tumor biomarkers from blood, tissue, and stool collected from the study. A biomarker is a biological molecule found in blood, other body fluids or tissues that may be a sign of a condition or disease and can be used to predict someone’s response to a specific treatment. Balstilimab is an investigational drug; ivermectin is approved for other conditions, but its use in this study is considered experimental.
