Research summary
Patients with mTNBC still have a poor outcome despite advances in the fields of molecular biology and the introduction of new therapies. Several agents are under investigation in the clinical and pre-clinical setting with different targets and biomarkers designed to augment treatment.The hypothesis of this study is that the addition of atezolizumab to a bevacizumab-based chemotherapy could potentially surpass the benefit of the current standard (combination of atezolizumab and nab-paclitaxel) in mTNBC patients.
The goal of this study is to explore the potential synergism between bevacizumab (Avastin®) and atezolizumab with standard chemotherapy for mTNBC. It is mandatory to evaluate the additive effect between bevacizumab (Avastin®) and atezolizumab in patients with mTNBC (irrespective of PD-L1 expression) considering the contribution of angiogenesis to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.REC name
