Nivolumab in combination with cabozantinib for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer : a phase II and biomarker study

© 2021. The Author(s)..

This single-arm phase II study investigated the efficacy and safety of cabozantinib combined with nivolumab in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC). The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST 1.1. Biopsies at baseline and after cycle 1 were analyzed for tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), PD-L1, and whole-exome and transcriptome sequencing. Only 1/18 patients achieved a partial response (ORR 6%), and the trial was stopped early. Toxicity led to cabozantinib dose reduction in 50% of patients. One patient had a PD-L1-positive tumor, and three patients had TILs > 10%. The responding patient had a PD-L1-negative tumor with low tumor mutational burden but high TILs and enriched immune gene expression. High pretreatment levels of plasma immunosuppressive cytokines, chemokines, and immune checkpoint molecules were associated with rapid progression. Although this study did not meet its primary endpoint, immunostaining, genomic, and proteomic studies indicated a high degree of tumor immunosuppression in this mTNBC cohort.
