Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies the side effects and best dose of ivermectin in combination with balstilimab or pembrolizumab and to see how well they they work in shrinking tumors in patients with triple negative breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as balstilimab or pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Ivermectin may help block the formation of growths that may become cancer. Giving ivermectin with balstilimab or pembrolizumab may increase the effect of balstilimab or pembrolizumab in shrinking tumors in patients with triple negative breast cancer. The secondary objectives of the study include evaluating the following efficacy outcomes: objective response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), duration of response (DOR), clinical benefit rate (CBR), and patients' quality of life (QOL) by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Age: ≥ 18 years * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) ≤ 1 * Life expectancy \> 3 months * Histologically confirmed metastatic triple negative breast cancer. Triple negative status will be defined as estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) ≤ 10% and HER2 negative (by immunohistochemistry \[IHC\] or fluorescence in situ hybridization \[FISH\]), per American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines * Patients must have progressed on 1-2 prior lines of systemic therapy (chemotherapy and/or drug-antibody conjugate) in the metastatic setting * Measurable or evaluable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions * Fully recovered from the acute toxic effects (except alopecia) to ≤ grade 2 from prior anti-cancer therapy * For Phase 2 expansion only, must be
