Kevin Kalinsky, MD, MS, from Emory University Hospital, Atlanta, GA, discussed the Phase III NeoTRIP (NCT002620280) study exploring the impact of adding atezolizumab to nab-paclitaxel/carboplatin in high-risk triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). While the addition of atezolizumab showed a minor increase in pathologic complete response (pCR), the five-year event-free survival (EFS) did not significantly improve compared to the non-atezolizumab group (70.6% vs. 74.9%). Stratified analysis revealed no significant differences. Higher baseline stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs) were prognostic for better EFS, but PD-L1 expression and sTILs did not predict atezolizumab benefit. This interview took place at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2023 Congress in Madrid, Spain.
