Read the transcript

This trial is for adults with PD-L1-negative metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, untreated in the metastatic setting. Earlier taxane treatment requires a twelve-month disease-free interval. Tumor tissue is required.

The idea: test whether a personalized peptide vaccine improves immune recognition of cancer. Patients first receive gemcitabine and carboplatin, with alternatives for progression or intolerance. They then receive nab-paclitaxel, durvalumab and tremelimumab, randomly with or without vaccine plus poly-ICLC injections under the skin. Researchers compare progression and safety; biopsies assess immune effects.

This phase 2 study plans 86 patients. NCI sponsors twenty-four recruiting US sites.
