A Study of Pembrolizumab and Ablation (Cryoablation or Histotripsy) in People With Breast Cancer
Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Summary
Participants will have a confirmed diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer and will receive pembrolizumab in combination with ablation (cryoablation or histotripsy) OR pembrolizumab alone. Participants will be randomly assigned.
Official title: Does Ablation (Cryoablation or Histotripsy) Boost Immune Response Improving the Benefits of Pembrolizumab in Patients With Metastatic or Locally Advanced Triple Negative Breast Cancer?

Interventions
Pembrolizumab
Participants will receive Pembrolizumab as part of standard of care treatment.
Cryoablation
Cryoablation is a type of thermal ablation that is a minimally invasive alternative technique to surgical resection.
Histotripsy
Histotripsy of the liver is a noninvasive, nonthermal ablation technique that employs high intensity focused ultrasound pulses to mechanically disrupt targeted hepatic tissues- typically liver tumors-via a process known as acoustic cavitation.
