SABCS 2023 | Pembrolizumab + binimetinib in patients with advanced TNBC

Saranya Chumsri, MD, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL, highlights data coming from a Phase I/II study (NCT03106415) of pembrolizumab in combination with the MEK inhibitor, binimetinib, in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The study showed that this combination was well-tolerated, and that in line with pre-clinical data MEK inhibition can restore T-cell function. Additionally, promising activity was observed in patients with low tumor infiltrating lymphoctyes (TILs) and PD-L1 negative, particularly in patients without liver metastases. Future larger clinical trials are warranted to further evaluate the efficacy of this chemotherapy-free combination. This interview took place at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) congress in San Antonio, TX.
