Efficacy and Safety of Atezolizumab Plus Capecitabine Adjuvant Therapy for Triple Receptor-Negative Breast Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study will enroll patients who received neoadjuvant therapy for TNBC prior to surgery and did not get pCR. Given the relatively poor prognosis for these patients, this population is considered novel therapeutic as adjuvant treatment. Currently, capecitabine monotherapy could be beneficial to this group of patients according to CREATE-X trial results. The investigators are addressing the effect of anti-PD-L1, atezolizumab combined with capecitabine in patients with TNBC who did not get pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy compared to capecitabine monotherapy.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 5-yr invasive disease-free survival (IDFS) rate [3 years after last patient enrollment]
• To compare 5-yr invasive disease-free survival (IDFS) rate of patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who had either ≥ 1 cm residual invasive breast cancer and/or positive lymph nodes (> ypN+) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
- Male or female ≥ 19 years of age
-
Patients must have histologically confirmed estrogen receptor (ER)-, progesterone receptor (PR)- and HER2-negative (triple-negative) with residual invasive breast cancer, as defined by the 2010 and 2013 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines (Wolff AC, Hammond MEH), after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy; residual disease must be ≥ 1 cm in greatest dimension, and/or have macroscopically positive lymph nodes (ypN+) observed on pathologic exam
-
Patients must not have metastatic disease (i.e., must be M0)
-
Patients must have a minimum of 20, available unstained slides from the residual (post-neoadjuvant) invasive tumor in primary site or lymph node to be submitted to determine PD-L1 expression and other biomarker analysis
-
Patients must have had neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery; the recommended neoadjuvant treatment should include 16-24 weeks of a third generation chemotherapy regimen as recommended by National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines for triple negative breast cancer. Patients who cannot complete all planned treatment cycles for any reason are considered high risk and therefore are eligible for the study if they have residual disease
-
Patients must have completed their final breast surgery with clear resection margins for invasive cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) within 90 days prior to screening
-
Patients for whom radiation therapy (RT) to the affected breast or chest wall and regional nodal areas is clinically indicated as per NCCN treatment guidelines, should receive RT before study treatment; RT administered after registration is also allowed
-
Patients must have resolution of adverse event(s) of the most recent prior chemotherapy and RT to grade 1 or less, except alopecia and ≤ grade 2 neuropathy which are allowed
-
Patients must not have had prior immunotherapy with anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-1, anti-CTLA4 or similar drugs
-
Patients must not have had prior capecitabine therapy.
-
Patients must not have had a history of severe allergic, anaphylactic, or other hypersensitivity reactions to chimeric or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins, known hypersensitivity or allergy to biopharmaceuticals produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells or any component of the atezolizumab formulation
-
Patients must have ECOG performance status < 2
-
Patients must sign and give written informed consent for this protocol in accordance with institutional guidelines
-
Patients should have adequate organ function within 21 days prior to the start of study treatment (cycle 1, day1).
-
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/uL; without granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) support within 2 weeks prior to the first study treatment administration
-
Lymphocyte count ≥ 500/uL
-
Platelet count ≥ 100,000/uL (without transfusion within 2 weeks prior to the first study treatment administration)
-
Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0g/dL
-
AST, ALT, and alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5x the upper limit of normal (ULN)
-
Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5x ULN, patients with known Gilbert disease who have serum bilirubin ≤ 3.0x ULN may be enrolled.
-
INR and aPTT ≤ 1.5x ULN, This applies only to patients who are not receiving therapeutic anticoagulation; patients receiving therapeutic anticoagulation should be on a stable dose.
-
Calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 30mL/min
-
Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 28 day prior to registration; women/men of reproductive potential must have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method for the course of the study through 150 days after the last dose of study medication.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
