The addition of atezolizumab to nab-paclitaxel prolonged progression-free survival in both the intention-to-treat and PD-L1-positive subgroups in the first line setting in patients with metastatic TNBC. The IMpassion 130 trial led to FDA-approval of this combination in patients with PD-L1-positive, metastatic TNBC and represents the first approval of immunotherapy for TNBC. This work supports ongoing investigations of other immunotherapy combinations in TNBC, predictive biomarker development and immunotherapy in patients with early stage TNBC. Immunotherapy combinations in TNBC have the potential to lead to improved survival in this group of patients with high risk disease.
