Trial Assessing Atezolizumab in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Misses End Point
Findings showed that the study did not meet statistical significance for progression free survival.

The FDA has granted accelerated approval to Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy; Immunomedics) for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) who have received at least 2 prior therapies for metastatic disease.
Biomarker identification could allow for precision therapy in women with this subtype.
[Breast Cancer: Targets and Therapy] A retrospective chart review of a cohort of patients with TNBC found that tumor size and nodal status is associated with DFS, and radiotherapy technique and fractionation protocol were not associated with differences in either DFS or OS.
Pathological complete response rate higher with pembrolizumab plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Researchers analyzed the association between baseline metabolic syndrome components and survival outcomes in women diagnosed with TNBC.
Atezolizumab plus nab-paclitaxel prolongs progression-free survival in metastatic disease.
Despite other clinicopathologic factors, patients with a tumor fraction of 10% or greater were more than twice as likely to pass away as those with a fraction of less than 10%.
[Breast Cancer: Targets and Therapy] Researchers present a review of study findings on the effect of statins on clinical outcomes for patients with breast cancer.
Breast cancer was previously thought to not be immunogenic in nature, but a subset of patients with breast cancer, primarily with triple negative disease, have exhibited robust levels of tumor infiltrating leukocytes.
