Atezolizumab plus chemo for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests atezolizumab (an immunotherapy) plus chemotherapy to activate immune cells in people with triple-negative breast cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. It is for those who have had immunotherapy before during early treatment but not for advanced disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have triple-negative breast cancer that has spread or cannot be removed, and your tumor is PD-L1 positive (has a certain immune cell marker).
- You have already received a treatment like atezolizumab or similar immunotherapy during early-stage treatment (before cancer spread).
- You have not had any chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy for advanced or metastatic disease.
- You are 18 or older and have a performance status of 0-1 (able to do most daily activities).
- You have at least one tumor that can be biopsied, and you agree to have samples taken.

This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) to standard chemotherapy (carboplatin + paclitaxel) before surgery can improve outcomes for people with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. It aims to shrink the tumor and increase the chance of a complete response.
This trial tests a combination of a PD-L1 antibody (a type of immunotherapy) with a low-dose, continuous chemotherapy regimen called VEX for advanced triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. It may be an option if you have had only one prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease and have already been treated with certain common chemo drugs.
This trial studies whether adding pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) to standard chemotherapy after surgery can improve outcomes for people with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. The treatment you receive depends on the level of immune cells (TILs) found in your tumor.
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) plus two chemotherapy drugs (carboplatin and paclitaxel) given before surgery for people with early-stage, triple-negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment helps shrink or eliminate the tumor before it's removed.
This Phase 2 study checks whether a blood test that looks for cancer DNA (ctDNA) can help decide who should get an extra 12-month immunotherapy treatment after standard chemotherapy and surgery. It may help reduce the chance of the cancer coming back in people with triple-negative breast cancer.
This trial tests a two-step approach: first a short course of chemotherapy (paclitaxel and bevacizumab), followed by a combination of immunotherapy (atezolizumab) and a different chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel). It's for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer that has spread or cannot be removed, and whose tumors have a specific marker called PD-L1. The goal is to see if this sequence works better than standard treatments.
