- Status
- Authorised-recruitment may be ongoing or finished
- Sex
- All
- Target Recruitment
- 1986
- Age >= 18 years
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status of 0 or 1
- Non-metastatic operable Stage II-III breast cancer; patients with
node-negative disease must have a pathologic tumor size > 2cm
- Histologically documented TNBC that is centrally confirmed
- Confirmed tumor Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) evaluation (centrally conducted)
- Adequately excised: Patients must have undergone either breast conserving surgery or mastectomy/nipple- or skin-sparing mastectomy
- Pathological tumor-node-metastasis staging: Patient must have had sentinel lymph node biopsy and/or axillary lymph node dissection for
evaluation of pathologic nodal status
- Patients with synchronous bilateral invasive disease are eligible only if all bilateral invasive lesions are histologically confirmed as triple
negative by central lab and have completed adequate pathological tumor-node metastasis staging bilaterally as described
- No more than 8 weeks (56 days) may elapse between definitive breast surgery and randomization
- Baseline left ventricular ejection fraction >= 53% measured by echocardiogram or multiple-gated acquisition scans
- Adequate hematologic and end-organ function
- Representative formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tumor specimen from surgical resection in paraffin blocks or at least 25 unstained slides,
with an associated pathology report documenting locally assessed ER, PgR, and HER2 negativity
- For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent or use contraceptive measures that result in a failure rate of < 1% per
year during the treatment period and for at least 5 months after the last dose of atezolizumab, or 6 months after the last dose of paclitaxel or
doxorubicin/epirubicin, or 12 months after the last dose of cyclophosphamide. Women must refrain from donating eggs during the
same period.
- For men: agreement to remain abstinent or use contraceptive measures and agreement to refrain from donating sperm during the
treatment period and 6 months after the last dose of paclitaxel, or doxorubicin/epirubicin or 12 months after the last dose of
cyclophosphamide whichever is later
- Women who are not postmenopausal and have not undergone a sterilization procedure must have a negative serum pregnancy test
result within 14 days prior to initiation of study drug

- Known hypersensitivity to biopharmaceuticals produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells
- Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any component of the atezolizumab, paclitaxel, cyclophosphamide, or doxorubicin/epirubicin
formulations and filgrastim or pegfilgrastim or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor formulations

- Urinary outflow obstruction
- Severe infections within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment
- Treatment with therapeutic oral or IV antibiotics within 2 weeks prior
to initiation of study treatment

surgical procedure during the course of the study
- Prior allogeneic stem cell or solid organ transplant
- Administration of a live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment or anticipation of need for such a vaccine
during the study or within 5 months after the last dose of atezolizumab
- Any other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding that contraindicates the use of an
investigational drug, may affect the interpretation of the results, or may render the patient at high risk from treatment complications
- Prior treatment with CD137 agonists or immune checkpoint-blockade therapies
- Treatment with systemic immunosuppressive medications within 2 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment or anticipation of need for
systemic immunosuppressive medication during the study
- Pregnant or lactating, or intending to become pregnant during the study
