• Symptomatic peripheral ischemia.

• The patient must have consented to participate and, prior to beginning specific study procedures, must have signed and dated an appropriate IRB-approved consent form that conforms to federal and institutional guidelines for study treatment and for submission of tumor samples from a research biospy as required by NSABP B-59/GBG 96-GeparDouze for baseline correlative science studies.
• The diagnosis of invasive adenocarcinoma of the breast must have been made by core needle biopsy.
• Local testing on the diagnostic core must have determined the tumor to be ER-negative, PgR-negative, and HER2-negative by current ASCO/CAP guidelines. (If local testing has determined a tumor to be HER2 equivocal or to have a borderline ER/PgR status (% IHC staining \< 10% for both) and other eligibility criteria are met, material may be submitted for central testing to determine eligibility.)
• Central testing for ER, PgR, and HER2 will be performed, and the tumor must be determined to be ER-negative, PgR-negative, and HER2-negative by current ASCO/CAP Guidelines Recommendations.
• The tumor specimen used for central ER, PgR, and HER2 testing must also be used for central testing of PD-L1 status using the Ventana PD-L1 testing result including PD-L1 indeterminate Patients will be classifies as positive, negative, or indeterminate for stratification purposes.
• Patients must be ≥ 18 years old.
• Patient may be female or male.
• The ECOG performance status must be 0-1.
• The primary tumor can be clinical stage T2 or T3, if clinically node negative according to AJCC 7th Edition. If the regional lymph nodes are cN1 and cytologically or histologically positive or cN2-N3 with or without a biopsy, the primary breast tumor can be clinically T1c, T2, or T3.
• Ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes must be evaluated by imaging (mammogram, ultrasound, and/or MRI) within 84 days prior to study entry. If suspicious or abnormal, FNA or core biopsy is recommended. Findings of these evaluations will be used to define the nodal status prior to study entry according to the following criteria:
  • Nodal status - negative (Imaging of the axilla is negative; Imaging is suspicious or abnormal but the FNA or core biopsy of the questionable node\[s\] on imaging is negative)
  • Nodal status - positive (FNA or core biopsy of the node\[s\] is cytologically or histologically suspicious or positive; Imaging is suspicious or abnormal but FNA or core biopsy was not performed.)
• Patients with synchronous bilateral or multicentric HER2-negative breast cancer are eligible as long as the highest risk tumor is ER-negative and PgR-negative and meets stage eligibility criteria. All of the other invasive tumors must also be HER2-negative by ASCO/CAP Guidelines based on local testing. Central testing to confirm TNBC status is only required for the highest risk tumor.
• Blood counts performed within 28 days prior to randomization must meet the following criteria:
