A Randomized Phase III Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of MK-3475 (Pembrolizumab) as Adjuvant Therapy for Triple Receptor-Negative Breast Cancer with = 1 cm Residual Invasive Cancer or Positive Lymph Nodes (ypN1 mi ypN1-3) after Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Brief description of study

The primary purpose of the study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of whether or not the use of experimental drug MK-3475 (pembrolizumab) along with the standard approach (no more treatment or additional chemotherapy and radiation therapy after surgery or radiation therapy alone after surgery) affect the treatment outcomes. Pembrolizumab is an experimental drug in this study, which means this drug has been tested in the laboratory and has been approved by the US FDA for testing in people. We want to know if MK-3475 (pembrolizumab) is better, the same, or worse than the standard approach alone.
