Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and feasibility of placing and removing a small device that contains anti-cancer drugs in a breast tumor of patients who plan on having breast surgery without treatment prior or patients who plan on receiving standard preoperative chemotherapy prior to their breast surgery. This device may be able to predict what types of treatment work best against an individual's breast cancer. With this device, the investigators hope to be able to personalize treatment choices based on an individual's type of breast cancer.

Interventions

DEVICEKIBUR MICRODEVICE

This device contains 16 reservoirs, each with a unique single agent or drug combination in microdose amounts of less than one millionth of a systemic patient dose. The device is implanted directly into the tumor during a biopsy procedure, and remains in situ for \ 24 hours.

DRUGanthracycline and taxane based chemotherapy

Conventional, standard of care neoadjuvant chemotherapy delivered irrespective of device readout

Inclusion criteria

* Patients with histologically confirmed invasive breast cancer that is: Triple negative (ER\<10%, PR\<10%, and HER2 0/1+ or 2+/FISH not amplified) * Tumor size 2cm or greater; N any; M0 * Tumor size 1cm or greater; N any; M0 (Cohort 1) * Tumor size 2cm or greater; N any; M0 (Cohort 2) * Candidate for curative breast cancer surgery (Cohort 1 or 2) * Candidate for neoadjuvant chemotherapy with a standard of care, anthracycline-based regimen (Cohort 2 preferred over Cohort 1) * Age \>18 years of age * ECOG performance status of ≤2 * Serum or urine pregnancy test negative within 2 weeks for women of childbearing potential. * Willing and able to provide informed consent

Exclusion criteria

* Prior treatment including surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy for the current primary breast cancer. * Severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational device administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this
