Neoadjuvant durvalumab improves survival in early triple-negative breast cancer independent of pathological complete response.

  • Small randomised phase 2 trial
  • Used durva only in neoadjuvant phase with nab pacli and dose dense EC

Authors: S. Loibl, A. Schneeweiss, J. Huober, M. Braun, J. Rey, J.-U. Blohmer, J. Furlanetto, D.-M. Zahm, C. Hanusch, J. Thomalla, C. Jackisch, P. Staib, T. Link, K. Rhiem, C. Solbach, P.A. Fasching, V. Nekljudova, C. Denkert, M. Untch.

Neoadjuvant durvalumab improves survival in early TNBC independent of pathological complete response

  • One seperate window cohort where single dose of durva given 2 weeks prior
  • Primary endpoint point was PCR, study was heavily powered for the same, which was not met(insignificant increase)
  • Improved Disease-Free Survival, DDFS and Overall Survival, but all are exploratory analyses with no relevant meaning
  • Improvement in path Cr irrespective of PDL1 expression, Residual Stromal TILS prognostic for improved IDFS .”
