Background Standard first-line treatment of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) is chemotherapy. However, outcomes are poor, and new treatment options are needed. In cohort B of the phase II KEYNOTE-086 study, we evaluated pembrolizumab as first-line therapy for patients with PD-L1-positive mTNBC.Patients and methods Eligible patients had centrally confirmed mTNBC, no prior systemic anticancer therapy for metastatic disease, measurable disease at baseline per RECIST v1.1 by central review, no radiographic evidence of central nervous system metastases, and a tumor PD-L1 combined positive score 1. Patients received pembrolizumab 200mg intravenously every 3weeks for up to 2years. The primary end point was safety. Secondary end points included objective response rate, disease control rate (percentage of patients with complete or partial response or stable disease for 24weeks), duration of response, progression-free survival and overall survival.Results All 84 patients enrolled were women, and 73 (86.9%) received prior (neo)adjuvant therapy. Fifty-three (63.1%) patients had treatment-related adverse events (AEs), including 8 patients (9.5%) with grade 3 severity; no patients experienced grade 4 AEs or died because of treatment-related AEs. Four patients had a complete response and 14 had a partial response, for an objective response rate of 21.4% (95% CI 13.9-31.4). Of the 13 patients with stable disease, 2 had stable disease lasting 24weeks, for a disease control rate of 23.8% (95% CI 15.9-34.0). At data cut-off, 8 of 18 (44.4%) responses were ongoing, and median duration of response was 10.4months (range 4.2 to 19.2+). Median progression-free survival was 2.1months (95% CI 2.0-2.2), and median overall survival was 18.0months (95% CI 12.9-23.0).Conclusions Pembrolizumab monotherapy had a manageable safety profile and showed durable antitumor activity as first-line therapy for patients with PD-L1-positive mTNBC.Clinical trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02447003.Background Treatment options for previously treated metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) are limited. In cohort A of the phase II KEYNOTE-086 study, we evaluated pembrolizumab as second or later line of treatment for patients with mTNBC.Patients and methods Eligible patients had centrally confirmed mTNBC, 1 systemic therapy for metastatic disease, prior treatment with anthracycline and taxane in any disease setting, and progression on or after the most recent therapy. Patients received pembrolizumab 200mg intravenously every 3weeks for up to 2years. Primary end points were objective response rate in the total and PD-L1-positive populations, and safety. Secondary end points included duration of response, disease control rate (percentage of patients with complete or partial response or stable disease for 24weeks), progression-free survival, and overall survival.Results All enrolled patients (N=170) were women, 61.8% had PD-L1-positive tumors, and 43.5% had received 3 previous lines of therapy for metastatic disease. ORR (95% CI) was 5.3% (2.7-9.9) in the total and 5.7% (2.4-12.2) in the PD-L1-positive populations. Disease control rate (95% CI) was 7.6% (4.4-12.7) and 9.5% (5.1-16.8), respectively. Median duration of response was not reached in the total (range, 1.2+-21.5+) and in the PD-L1-positive (range, 6.3-21.5+) populations. Median PFS was 2.0months (95% CI, 1.9-2.0), and the 6-month rate was 14.9%. Median OS was 9.0months (95% CI, 7.6-11.2), and the 6-month rate was 69.1%. Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 103 (60.6%) patients, including 22 (12.9%) with grade 3 or 4 AEs. There were no deaths due to AEs.Conclusions Pembrolizumab monotherapy demonstrated durable antitumor activity in a subset of patients with previously treated mTNBC and had a manageable safety profile.Clinical trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02447003
