Brief Summary

This pilot study will provide preliminary data regarding the role of PIS in predicting the benefit of immune checkpoint inhibition with or without chemotherapy for high risk patients with TNBC and residual disease after effective neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent Change in the Peripheral Immunoscore (PIS) at Week 66 weeks

PIS were developed using methods previously described (Farsaci, B. et al. Cancer Immunol. Res. 2016), based on tertile distribution of frequencies and ratios of peripheral immune cell subsets in patients prior to therapy. Immune subsets were calculated as a % of PBMC and sorted by frequency. Points were assigned to each subset in a given patient based on tertile distribution. For subsets with an expected positive effect on anti-tumor immunity zero (0) points were assigned to the low bin, one (1) point for the middle bin, and two (2) points if in the high bin. For subsets with an expected negative effect on anti-tumor immunity zero (0) points were assigned to the high bin, one (1) point for the middle bin, and two (2) points if in the low bin. The peripheral immunoscore for a given patient was the sum of points assigned to the individual PBMC subsets that were included within the immunoscore. Positive change means enhanced and negative change means reduced immune function.

The peripheral immunoscore for a given patient was the sum of points assigned to the individual PBMC subsets that were included within the immunoscore. Positivie change mean enhanced and negative change means reduced immune function.

Grade 3 and 4 Adverse EventsFrom date of consent until 100 days after the last dose of study treatment, approximately up to 11 months

The number of grade 3 and 4 adverse events as assessed clinically by an investigator, according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0 \[NCI CTCAE v4.03\]. Grade 4 adverse events were associated with worse outcomes.

Invasive Disease Free Survival (DRFS)2 years

iDFS was defined as the time from date of randomization to the date of first invasive disease recurrence, second invasive primary cancer (breast or not), or death from any cause.

Circulating Tumor DNA6 weeks and 12 weeks

Out of the patients with available ct-DNA samples at baseline, week 6 and week 12, the proportion of patients with detectable ct-DNA at the same timepoints.
