A Study of Atezolizumab in Combination With Nab-Paclitaxel Compared With Placebo With Nab-Paclitaxel for Participants With Previously Untreated Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (IMpassion130)

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind study evaluated the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) administered with nab-paclitaxel compared with placebo in combination with nab-paclitaxel in participants with locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who have not received prior systemic therapy for metastatic breast cancer (mBC). The safety of single-agent nab-paclitaxel has been determined in previous studies of participants with mBC and the safety data to date suggest that atezolizumab can be safely combined with standard chemotherapy agents.

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Metastatic or locally advanced, histologically documented TNBC characterized by absence of human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2), estrogen receptor (ER), and progesterone receptor (PR) expression
  • No prior chemotherapy or targeted systemic therapy for inoperable locally advanced or metastatic TNBC

  • A representative formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor specimen in paraffin blocks, or at least 20 unstained slides with an associated pathology report documenting ER, PR, and HER2 negativity. Participants with fewer than 20 unstained slides available at baseline, and not fewer than 12 unstained slides will be eligible upon discussion with Medical Monitor
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1
  • Measurable disease as defined by RECIST v1.1
  • Adequate hematologic and end-organ function

Exclusion criteria

  • Known central nervous system (CNS) disease, except for treated asymptomatic CNS metastases
  • Leptomeningeal disease
  • Pregnancy or lactation
  • History of autoimmune disease
  • Prior allogeneic stem cell or solid organ transplantation
  • Positive test for human immunodeficiency virus
  • Active hepatitis B or hepatitis C
  • Receipt of a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to randomization, during treatment, or within 5 months following the last dose of atezolizumab/placebo

Treatment and study plan

Atezolizumab (MPDL3280A), an engineered anti-PDL1 antibody

Drug

Atezolizumab at a fixed dose of 840 milligrams via intravenous (IV) infusion on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Other names: Tecentriq, MPDL3280A

Nab-paclitaxel

Drug

Nab-Paclitaxel at a starting dose of 100 milligrams per square meter via IV infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Nab-Paclitaxel was administered for a target of at least 6 cycles, with no maximum in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Other names: Abraxane®

Placebo

Drug

Placebo administered via IV infusion on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Primary outcomes

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 (v1.1) in All Randomized Participants

    Time frame: Baseline up to approximately 34 months

    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the occurrence of disease progression, as determined by investigators from tumor assessments per RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.

  2. PFS According to RECIST v1.1 in Participants With Detectable Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1)

    Time frame: Baseline up to approximately 34 months

    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the occurrence of disease progression, as determined by investigators from tumor assessments per RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.

  3. Overall Survival (OS) in All Randomized Participants

    Time frame: Baseline until death due to any cause (up to approximately 58 months)

    OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause.

  4. OS in Participants With Detectable PD-L1

    Time frame: Baseline until death due to any cause (up to approximately 58 months)

    OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With an Objective Response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) According to RECIST v1.1 in All Randomized Participants

    Time frame: Baseline up to approximately 34 months

    An objective response was defined for participants with measurable disease at baseline as either a partial response (PR) or a complete response (CR) using RECIST v1.1.

  2. Percentage of Participants With an Objective Response of CR or PR According to RECIST v1.1 in Participants With Detectable PD-L1

    Time frame: Baseline up to approximately 34 months

    An objective response was defined for participants with measurable disease at baseline as either a partial response (PR) or a complete response (CR) using RECIST v1.1.

  3. Duration of Response (DOR) According to RECIST v1.1 in All Randomized Participants

    Time frame: Baseline up to approximately 34 months

    DOR was defined for participants who had an objective response as the time from the first occurrence of a documented unconfirmed response (CR or PR) to the date of disease progression per RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.

  4. DOR Acccording to RECIST v1.1 in Participants With Detectable PD-L1

    Time frame: Baseline up to approximately 34 months

    DOR was defined for participants who had an objective response as the time from the first occurrence of a documented unconfirmed response (CR or PR) to the date of disease progression per RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.

    Deterioration in GHS/HRQoL (Items 29, 30 of the EORTC QLQ C30) was defined by the following two criteria: 1. The time from randomization to the first time the participant's GHS/HRQoL scale score showed a >=10-point decrease from the baseline scale score. A 10-point change was defined as the minimally important difference (MID). 2. The score decrease of >= 10-points from baseline was held for at least two consecutive cycles, or an initial score decrease of >= 10-points was followed by death or treatment discontinuation within 3 weeks from the last assessment.
