a phase iii randomised study to evaluate dato-dxd and durvalumab for neoadjuvant/adjuvant treatment of triple-negative or hormone receptor-low/her2-negative breast cancer

Conditions: Breast Cancer

Summary: this is a phase iii, 2-arm, randomised, open-label, multicentre, global study assessing the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant dato-dxd plus durvalumab followed by adjuvant durvalumab with or without chemotherapy compared with neoadjuvant pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy followed by adjuvant pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated tnbc or hormone receptor-low/her2-negative breast cancer.

the primary objectives of the study are to demonstrate superiority of neoadjuvant dato-dxd plus durvalumab followed by adjuvant durvalumab with or without chemotherapy relative to neoadjuvant pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy followed by adjuvant pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated tnbc or hormone receptor low/her2-negative breast cancer, by central assessment of pcr and/or to demonstrate superiority of neoadjuvant dato-dxd plus durvalumab followed by adjuvant durvalumab with or without chemotherapy relative to neoadjuvant pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy followed by adjuvant pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated tnbc or hormone receptor-low/her2-negative breast cancer, by investigator assessment of efs
