Efficacy and Safety of Atezolizumab Plus Capecitabine Adjuvant Therapy for Triple Receptor-Negative Breast Cancer
South Korea284 participantsStarted 2019-01-15
Plain-language summary
This study will enroll patients who received neoadjuvant therapy for TNBC prior to surgery and did not get pCR. Given the relatively poor prognosis for these patients, this population is considered novel therapeutic as adjuvant treatment. Currently, capecitabine monotherapy could be beneficial to this group of patients according to CREATE-X trial results. The investigators are addressing the effect of anti-PD-L1, atezolizumab combined with capecitabine in patients with TNBC who did not get pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy compared to capecitabine monotherapy.

Inclusion Criteria:
* \- Male or female ≥ 19 years of age
* Patients must have histologically confirmed estrogen receptor (ER)-, progesterone receptor (PR)- and HER2-negative (triple-negative) with residual invasive breast cancer, as defined by the 2010 and 2013 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines (Wolff AC, Hammond MEH), after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy; residual disease must be ≥ 1 cm in greatest dimension, and/or have macroscopically positive lymph nodes (ypN+) observed on pathologic exam
* Patients must not have metastatic disease (i.e., must be M0)
* Patients must have a minimum of 20, available unstained slides from the residual (post-neoadjuvant) invasive tumor in primary site or lymph node to be submitted to determine PD-L1 expression and other biomarker analysis
* Patients must have had neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery; the recommended neoadjuvant treatment should include 16-24 weeks of a third generation chemotherapy regimen as recommended by National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines for triple negative breast cancer. Patients who cannot complete all planned treatment cycles for any reason are considered high risk and therefore are eligible for the study if they have residual disease
* Patients must have completed their final breast surgery with clear resection margins for invasive cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) within 90 days prior to screening
* Patients f…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
