An Open-label Randomized Phase 2 Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Patritumab Deruxtecan Plus Pembrolizumab Administered Either Before or After Carboplatin/Paclitaxel Plus Pembrolizumab Compared With Pembrolizumab in Combination With Chemotherapy Followed by Surgery and Adjuvant Pembrolizumab for High-Risk Early-Stage Triple-Negative or Hormone Receptor-Low Positive/Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-2 Negative Breast Cancer (HERTHENA-Breast03)

SUMMARY

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and hormone receptor (HR) low positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) negative breast cancer. The main goals of this study are to learn: * About the safety of the study treatments and if people tolerate them * If people who receive patritumab deruxtecan, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy before surgery have fewer cancer cells removed during surgery compared to those who receive only pembrolizumab (pembro) and chemotherapy.

Treatments
Experimental: Part 1, A: Pembrolizimab + patritumab deruxtecan → Pembrolizumab + paclitaxel + carboplatin
In Part 1, participants receive neoadjuvant pembrolizumab 200 mg via intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks (Q3W) plus patritumab deruxtecan via IV infusion Q3W for 12 weeks, followed by pembrolizumab 200 mg via IV infusion Q3W plus paclitaxel 80 mg/m\^2 via IV infusion every week (QW) and carboplatin AUC1.5 mg/ml/min via IV infusion QW for 12 weeks. At 3 to 6 weeks after last dose of neoadjuvant treatment, participants will undergo surgery for their breast cancer.
Experimental: Part 2, A: Pembrolizimab + patritumab deruxtecan → Pembrolizumab + paclitaxel + carboplatin
In Part 2, participants receive neoadjuvant pembrolizumab 200 mg IV infusion every Q3W plus patritumab deruxtecan (dose to be determined in part 1) IV infusion Q3W for 12 weeks, followed by pembrolizumab 200 mg IV infusion Q3W plus paclitaxel 80 mg/m\^2 IV infusion QW and carboplatin AUC1.5 mg/ml/min IV infusion QW for 12 weeks. At 3-6 weeks after last dose of neoadjuvant treatment, participants undergo surgery for breast cancer. After surgery, participants receive adjuvant pembrolizumab 400 mg IV every 6 weeks (Q6W) for \~30 weeks. Additional adjuvant treatment of physician's choice (TPC) may be given to participants with residual disease. TPC options are olaparib 300 mg oral twice daily (BID) for 1 year (participants with germline BRCA mutation \[gBRCAm\] only), capecitabine 1000-1250 mg/m\^2 oral BID days 1-14 and 22-35 Q6W for 4 six-week cycles or doxorubicin 60mg/m\^2 (or epirubicin 90 mg/m\^2) IV Q3W or every 2 weeks (Q2W) and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m\^2 IV Q3W or Q2W for 4 doses.
Experimental: Part 2, B: Pembrolizumab + paclitaxel + carboplatin → Pembrolizumab + patritumab deruxtecan
In Part 2, participants receive neoadjuvant pembrolizumab 200 mg IV infusion Q3W plus paclitaxel 80 mg/m\^2 IV infusion QW and carboplatin AUC1.5 mg/ml/min IV infusion QW for 12 weeks, followed by pembrolizumab 200 mg IV infusion Q3W plus patritumab deruxtecan (dose to be determined in part 1) via IV infusion Q3W for 12 weeks. At 3 to 6 weeks after last dose of neoadjuvant treatment, participants will undergo surgery for their breast cancer. After surgery, participants will receive adjuvant pembrolizumab 400 mg IV infusion Q6W for \~30 weeks. Additional adjuvant TPC may be administered to participants with residual disease. TPC options include olaparib 300 mg oral BID for 1 year (participants with gBRCAm only), capecitabine 1000-1250 mg/m\^2 oral BID days 1-14 and 22-35 Q6W for 4 six-week cycles or doxorubicin 60mg/m\^2 (or epirubicin 90 mg/m\^2) IV infusion Q3W or Q2W and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m\^2 IV infusion Q3W or Q2W for 4 doses.
Active_comparator: Part 2, C: Pembro + paclitaxel + carboplatin→ Pembro + doxorubicin (or epirubicin) +cyclophosphamide
In Part 2, participants receive neoadjuvant pembrolizumab 200 mg IV infusion Q3W plus paclitaxel 80 mg/m\^2 IV infusion QW and carboplatin AUC1.5 mg/ml/min via IV infusion QW for 12 weeks, followed by pembrolizumab 200 mg IV infusion Q3W plus doxorubicin 60mg/m\^2 (or epirubicin 90 mg/m\^2) IV infusion Q3W and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m\^2 IV infusion Q3W for 12 weeks. At 3 to 6 weeks after last dose of neoadjuvant treatment, participants will undergo surgery for their breast cancer. After surgery, participants will receive adjuvant pembrolizumab 400 mg IV infusion Q6W for approximately 30 weeks. Additional adjuvant TPC may be administered to participants with residual disease. TPC options include olaparib 300 mg oral BID for 1 year (participants with gBRCAm only) or capecitabine 1000-1250 mg/m\^2 oral BID days 1-14 and 22-35 Q6W for 4 six-week cycles.
