Brief summary: The objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Olinvacimab in combination with Pembrolizumab in patients with mTNBC.

Detailed description: After being informed about the study and potential risks, all patients will complete informed consent form in written. During 2 weeks screening period, investigator will evaluate patient eligibility and if it meet with protocol, patient will enrolled. 1 cycle treatment is perform on D1, D8, D15 to inject Olinvacimab and Pembrolizumab, it can be repeated upto 35 cycles.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Female patients ≥19 years old
2. Histologically proven mTNBC\* irrespective of PD-L1 status.

   \*Histological or cytological diagnosis of relapsed/metastatic TNBC. TNBC is defined by the negative expression of estrogen receptors (ER), progesterone receptors and human epidermal receptor-2 (HER2). If there is a pathology report of the metastasis, take the histopathology of the metastases as standard. Negative for ER and progesterone receptors is defined as the expression of ER and progesterone receptors in \<1% of the tumor cells by immunohistochemistry (IHC). HER2-negative is defined as a score of 0 and 1+ by IHC, or IHC 2+ and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) negative. If the HER2 test result is 0 or 1+ by IHC, FISH detection is optional, but the result must be negative.
3. Has provided archival tumor tissue sample or newly obtained core or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated. Formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks are preferred to slides. Newly obtained biopsies are preferred to archived tissue.

   - Note: If submitting unstained cut slides, newly cut slides should be submitted to the testing laboratory within 14 days from the date slides are cut
4. Has measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the local site investigator/radiology. Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions
5. Has received at least one prior line of systemic therapy for metastatic or inoperable locally advanced TNBC. Patients who have failed adjuvant chemo within 12 months should be considered as fulfilling a line of systemic therapy.
6. No previous therapy with anti-VEGF, anti-VEGFR or anti-PD-1 antibody for their metastatic disease. The use of anti-VEGF, anti-VEGFR, anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 antibody in neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting will be allowed if there was no progression of disease within 6 months after the completion of treatment.
7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1

10. Participants who are HBsAg positive are eligible if they have received HBV anti-viral therapy for at least 4 weeks and have undetectable HBV viral load prior to randomization.

    * Note: Participants should remain on anti-viral therapy throughout study intervention and follow local guidelines for HBV anti-viral therapy post completion of study intervention.
    * Hepatitis B screening tests are not required unless:

      * Known history of HBV infection
      * As mandated by local health authority
