Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient must be > or = 18 years of age

    1. is newly diagnosed, without previous systemic treatment OR
    2. has failed to respond to < or = 4 cycles of neoadjuvant anthracycline based therapy as assessed by clinical exam or imaging studies (mammogram, ultrasound or breast MRI).
  • Patient's tumor must be classified as clinically stage T2, T3, or T4 with any N (NX, N0, N1, N2, or N3) prior to any neoadjuvant treatment.

  • Patient must have adequate organ function defined as:

    1. Renal Function:

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Neoadjuvant Cisplatin or Carboplatin AUC 6 & Radiation

Arm Description

Cisplatin 75 mg/m^2 IV every 21 days for 4 cycles or Carboplatin AUC 6 IV every 21 days for 4 cycles. Radiation beginning cycle 2 day 1 daily for 5-6 weeks 45-50 Gy. Recommended mastectomy Recommended adjuvant chemotherapy -doxorubicin 60 mg/m2 and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2 for 14 days for 4 cycles followed by paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 for 14 days for 4 cycles)

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Response Rate as Measured by Number of Participants Who Achieved Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)
Complete response (CR) = disappearance of all target lesions, disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. Partial response (PR) = at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of the target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD
Relationship Between Tumor Response and Deficiencies in DNA Repair Mechanisms

Secondary Outcome Measures

Time to Disease Progression
Progression = at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of the target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions, appearance of one or more new lesions, unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.
Number of Participants With Surgical Complications
Determine the Effect of Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation Therapy in Disseminated Cancer Cells in the Bone Marrow
Overall Survival Rate
Medical Toxicities as Measured by Number of Grade 3 or Higher Adverse Events
Successful Development of Animal Models of Triple Negative Breast Cancers as Measured by the Ability to Grow the Tumors in Mice.
Successful Development of Animal Models for Triple Negative Breast Cancers as Measured by the Ability to Passage the Tumors in Mice
Successful Development of Animal Models in Triple Negative Breast Cancers as Measured by the Ability of the Tumors to Metastasize to Other Organs
Successful Development of Animal Models of Triple Negative Breast Cancer as Measured by the Genetic Similarity Between the Primary Tumor and the Tumor in Animals

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether platinum-based chemotherapy (either cisplatin or carboplatin), when given with radiation therapy prior to surgery, is effective in improving response to treatment in triple negative breast cancer patients. This treatment is being studied in this type of breast cancer because it does not respond well to commonly used treatments such as tamoxifen or herceptin.
