Recruitment & Eligibility
- Status
- Authorised-recruitment may be ongoing or finished
- Sex
- All
- Target Recruitment
- 280
- Female or male >=18 years
- Ability to comply with the study protocol, in the investigator’s judgment
- Patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic, histologically documented TNBC (negative for HER2 and ER and PgR)
- Patient with at least one specimen positive for PD-L1 status as determined by VENTANA PD-L1 SP142 Assay
o Specimens with PD-L1 expression on tumor-infiltrating immune cells (IC) covering >=1% of tumor area would be PD-L1 positive, whereas PD-L1 expression on IC covering <1% of tumor area would be PD-L1 negative
o PD-L1-positive tumour status. If multiple tumour specimens are available, patients may be eligible if at least one specimen is evaluable for PD-L1 testing and shows PD-L1 expression on >=1% IC
o PD-L1-positive tumour status (PD-L1 expression >=1% on tumour-infiltrating ICs as percentage per tumour area, assessed by IHC). If multiple tumour specimens are available, patients may be eligible if at least one specimen is evaluable for PD-L1 testing and shows PD-L1 expression on >=1% IC
o Acceptable samples include core needle biopsies for deep tumour tissue or excisional, incisional, punch, or forceps biopsies for cutaneous, subcutaneous, or mucosal lesions
o Fine needle aspiration, brushing, cell pellet from pleural effusion, bone metastases, and lavage samples are not acceptable
o Tumour tissue from bone metastases is not evaluable for PD-L1 expression and is therefore not acceptable
- No prior chemotherapy, experimental or targeted systemic therapy for unresectable locally advanced or metastatic TNBC
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0, 1 or 2
- Life expectancy >=12 weeks
- Measurable disease, as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)
- Adequate haematologic and end-organ function within 14 days prior to the initiation of study treatment
- Negative hepatitis B surface antigen test at screening
- Negative total hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) test, or positive HBcAb test followed by a negative hepatitis B virus (HBV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) test at screening
- Negative hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody test or positive HCV antibody test followed by a negative HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) test at screening
- Patients with asymptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases are potentially eligible
- Patients with a history of autoimmune disease are allowed if controlled and on stable treatment for the last 12 weeks
- For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent or use contraceptive methods 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 nab-paclitaxel/paclitaxel, whichever is later. In addition, women must refrain from donating eggs during the same time period
- For men: with female partners of childbearing potential or pregnant female partners, men must remain abstinent or use a condom during the treatment period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of any component of the study treatment. Men must refrain from donating sperm during this same period
- Women who are not postmenopausal or surgically sterile must have a negative serum pregnancy test result within 14 days prior to initiation of study drug

- Uncontrolled symptomatic pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites
- Uncontrolled tumour-related pain and uncontrolled or symptomatic hypercalcemia

General Medical Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnancy or lactation
- Evidence of significant uncontrolled concomitant disease that could affect compliance with the protocol or interpretation of results, including significant liver disease
- Significant cardiovascular disease such as New York Heart Association cardiac disease, myocardial infarction within 3 months prior to the first dose of study treatment, unstable arrhythmias, or unstable angina
- Severe infection within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment, including but not limited to hospitalization for complications of infection, bacteremia, or severe pneumonia
- Treatment with oral or IV antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment
- Major surgical procedure within 28 days prior to the first dose of study treatment, or anticipation of the need for a major surgical procedure during the course of the study
- Treatment with investigational therapy within 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1, Day 1
- Known hypersensitivity to nab-paclitaxel or any of the excipients, when nab-paclitaxel is used as a backbone taxane
- Known hypersensitivity to paclitaxel or any of the excipients, when paclitaxel is used as a backbone taxane
- Positive human immunodeficiency virus test at screening, unless the
patient meets all of the following conditions: (a) Stable on anti-retroviral therapy, (b) CD4 count >= 200/mL, (c) Undetectable viral load.
- 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
