Key clinical point: Treatment with toripalimab + nab-paclitaxel vs placebo + nab-paclitaxel significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) and showed an acceptable safety profile in patients with programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1)-positive metastatic or recurrent triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

Major finding: Toripalimab + nab-paclitaxel vs placebo + nab-paclitaxel led to a significantly longer PFS (median 8.4 vs 5.6 months) in patients with PD-L1-positive TNBC (hazard ratio 0.65; P = .0102) and similar incidences of grade 3 treatment-emergent adverse events (56.4% vs 54.3%) and fatal adverse events (0.6% vs 3.4%).

Study details: Findings are from the phase 3 TORCHLIGHT trial which included 531 patients with metastatic or recurrent locally advanced TNBC who were previously untreated or treated with up to one systemic chemotherapy and were randomly assigned to receive toripalimab + nab-paclitaxel or placebo + nab-paclitaxel. Of these, 300 patients had PD-L1-positive TNBC.

Disclosures: This study was sponsored by Shanghai Junshi Biosciences and supported by other sources. Five authors declared being employees of Shanghai Junshi Biosciences or TopAlliance Biosciences. The other authors declared no competing interests.
