Luca Licata: Recurrence Timing After Neoadjuvant Chemo-Immunotherapy in Early-Stage TNBC

Luca Licata, Medical Oncologist at San Raffaele Hospital, shared a post on X:

“Just out in Clinical Cancer Research our analysis on the recurrence timing after neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy in early-stage TNBC

We analyzed 5 major trials

Early relapse: up to 83% of all recurrences

Why this matters

Trials analyzed: KEYNOTE-522, IMpassion031, NeoTRIP, GeparNuevo, NSABP B59/GeparDouze

– Recurrence rates by 48m: 14–29%
– Of those, ~65–83% were early (< 24m from random)
– In patients with residual disease: early relapse up to 89%!

Most relapses happen fast: within 18m from randomization (DFI < 6m)

These patients are routinely excluded from trials. Urgent need to design studies targeting this high-risk group – industry and academia, take note!

Grateful to work with an amazing team: Marco Mariani, Giulia Viale, Erika Hamilton, Sara M. Tolaney, Rebecca Dent, Peter Schmid, Christos Sotiriou, Lajos Pusztai and, of course… Giampaolo Bianchini.”
