This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of ASTX727 when given together with paclitaxel and pembrolizumab in patients with triple-negative breast cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). ASTX727 is a combination of two drugs, decitabine and cedazuridine. Cedazuridine is in a class of medications called cytidine deaminase inhibitors. It prevents the breakdown of decitabine, making it more available in the body so that decitabine will have a greater effect. Decitabine is in a class of medications called hypomethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells in the bone marrow. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving ASTX727 with paclitaxel and pembrolizumab may be able to shrink or stabilize triple negative breast cancer for longer than the usual approach alone.

Please read the information below and ask questions about anything that you do not understand. A
researcher listed above will be available to answer your questions.
You are being asked to participate in a clinical research potential participant database to identify
potential clinical research studies you may be eligible for. Participation in this database is voluntary.
You may choose to skip any question. You may refuse to participate or discontinue your involvement
at any time without penalty or loss of benefits. You are free to withdraw from this database at any
time. If you decide to withdraw from this database you should notify the research team
immediately.
You are eligible to participate in this study if you may be interested in participating in a research trial
at UCI Health
We would like to interview you to learn more about your eligibility for current clinical research studies
at UCI. The interview will last about 5-30 minutes, depending on the extent of your medical history.
Possible risks/discomforts associated with the database are hearing about potential clinical research
studies that may not be of interest to you, invasion of your privacy, or a potential breach of
confidentiality.
There are no direct benefits from participation in the database. However, this database may help
inform you on clinical research studies that you may be eligible for. Participation in UCI clinical
research studies help us gain important data and knowledge that may lead to improved treatment
options for people with similar conditions to you in the future.
There are no alternative procedures available. The only alternative is not to participate in this study.
There is no compensation for your participation in this database.
There is no cost to you for participation in this database.
All information collected will be stored confidentially in a world-class securely-hosted application,
“RealTime CTMS,” with robust data protections and encryption. This application has HIPAA compliant
architecture and application rules to ensure data privacy and regulatory compliance.
Researchers will use your information to assess your eligibility for current and future clinical research
studies at UCI. You may opt out at any time.
The research team, authorized UCI personnel, and regulatory entities, may have access to your
study records to protect your safety and welfare.
While the research team will make every effort to keep your personal information confidential, it is
possible that an unauthorized person might see it. We cannot guarantee total privacy.
Future Research Use
Researchers will use your information to conduct this study. Once the study is done using your
information, we may share them with other researchers so they can use them for other studies in the
future. We will not share your name or any other private identifiable information that would let the
researchers know who you are. We will not ask you for additional permission to share this de-identified
information
Data Retention - In accordance with UC Office of the President policy, information will be retained for
10 years after the end of the calendar year in which the research is completed.
If, during the course of this study, significant new information becomes available that may relate to
your willingness to continue to participate, this information will be provided to you by the research
team listed at the top of the form.
If you have any comments, concerns, or questions regarding the conduct of this research please

comments or suggestions.
What is an IRB? An Institutional Review Board (IRB) is a committee made up of scientists and nonscientists.
The IRB’s role is to protect the rights and welfare of human subjects involved in
research. The IRB also assures that the research complies with applicable regulations, laws, and
institutional policies.
