Paclitaxel + Carboplatin + Durvalumab With or Without Oleclumab for Previously Untreated Locally Recurrent Inoperable or Metastatic TNBC

Summary

The combination of chemotherapy with PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade agents demonstrated promising results especially in the neo-adjuvant and early metastatic setting in TNBC. However, a substantial proportion of patients do not derive benefit from this approach. CD73 is an adenosine-generating enzyme overexpressed in several cancers and associated with poor prognosis and reduced anti-tumor immunity in TNBC. Monoclonal antibodies directed against CD73 could help to reprogram the tumor microenvironement by decreasing the adenosine mediated immunosuppression, particularly as a synergistic immunotherapeutic combination with immune checkpoint blockade. The SYNERGY trial investigates the role of an anti-CD73 (MEDI9447) in a randomized phase II trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of the combination of chemotherapy (paclitaxel + carboplatin) with immunotherapy (durvalumab \[anti-PD-L1\] +/- MEDI9447 \[anti-CD73\]) in previously untreated locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic TNBC. A large translational research program is planned including baseline and dynamic biomarkers
