This phase II trial is trying to understand whether using a type of immunotherapy (Nivolumab) before starting standard chemotherapy will have a different effect on reducing tumour size for patients with early stage triple negative breast cancer, compared to if the immunotherapy and chemotherapy were given at the same time.
This trial is treating patients with triple negative breast cancer.
This is a systemic therapy trial.
