Virginia Kaklamani, MD, UT Health San Antonio, provides updates on immunotherapy in the early-stage breast cancer setting. She discusses two key clinical trials, the Phase III KEYNOTE-756 (NCT03725059) and CheckMate 7FL (NCT04109066) trials, both focusing on high-risk early-stage breast cancer patients with ER-positive disease and the addition of immunotherapy to the chemotherapy regimen. Although the trials have demonstrated an improvement in pathologic complete response (pCR), event-free survival (EFS) data is yet to be available. Prof. Kaklamani emphasizes the importance of identifying specific subsets of high-risk patients with HR-positive, early-stage breast cancer who would benefit from immunotherapy. This interview took place at the SABCS congress in San Antonio, TX.
