Key clinical point: Addition of durvalumab to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) improved survival in women with early triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) although improvement in the pathological complete response (pCR) rate was nonsignificant.

Major finding: In the overall cohort, durvalumab vs placebo improved 3-year invasive disease-free survival (hazard ratio [HR] 0.48; log-rank P   =   .036), distant disease-free survival (HR 0.31; log-rank P   =   .005), and overall survival (HR 0.24; log-rank P   =   .006) rates, despite no adjuvant component of durvalumab.

Study details: Findings are from the phase 2 GeparNuevo study including 174 patients with primary nonmetastatic TNBC who were randomly assigned to receive NACT with durvalumab or placebo.

Disclosures: This study was funded by AstraZeneca and Celgene. The authors declared receiving grants, personal fees, nonfinancial support, or other support from several sources.
