    Abstract Abstract: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of mammary carcinoma. A subset of TNBC is immune activated, suggesting that immunotherapy may be a viable treatment strategy. Phase III clinical trials have shown that atezolizumab or pembrolizumab is well-tolerated in combination with chemotherapy, with progression-free survival benefit in metastatic programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1)-positive TNBC patients treated first line. Based on IMpassion130, the combination of atezolizumab and nab-paclitaxel is now considered a standard of care for the treatment of PD-L1-positive advanced TNBC. In early TNBC, pembrolizumab and atezolizumab have been tested in combination with standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy, resulting in a higher complete pathologic response rate than standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone, regardless of disease PD-L1 status. These findings establish proof of principle for immunotherapy in both early and advanced TNBC. High priorities for the field include developing more active immunotherapy combination regimens and more refined biomarkers that optimally identify patients most likely to benefit from immunotherapy.

    Abstract Immunotherapy, particularly agents targeting the immunoregulatory PD-1/PD-L1 axis, harnesses the power of the immune system to treat cancer, with unique potential for a durable treatment effect due to immunologic memory. The PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by adjuvant pembrolizumab improves event-free survival and is a new standard of care for high-risk, early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), regardless of tumor PD-L1 expression. For metastatic TNBC, pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy is a new standard of care for the first-line therapy of PD-L1

    Abstract Invasive cancers typically evade immune surveillance through profound local and systemic immunosuppression, preventing their elimination or control. Targeting immune interventions to prevent or intercept premalignant lesions, before significant immune dysregulation has occurred, may be a more successful strategy. The field of cancer immune interception and prevention is nascent, and the scientific community has been slow to embrace this potentially most rational approach to reducing the global burden of cancer. This may change due to recent promising advances in cancer immunoprevention including the use of vaccines for the prevention of viral cancers, the use of cancer-associated antigen vaccines in the setting of precancers, and the development of cancer-preventative vaccines for high-risk individuals who are healthy but carry cancer-associated heritable genetic mutations. Furthermore, there is increasing recognition of the importance of cancer prevention and interception by national cancer organizations. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) recently released the National Cancer Plan, which includes cancer prevention among the top priorities of the institute. The NCI's Division of Cancer Prevention has been introducing new funding opportunities for scientists with an interest in the field of cancer prevention: The Cancer Prevention-Interception Targeted Agent Discovery Program and The Cancer Immunoprevention Network. Moreover, the Human Tumor Atlas Network is spearheading the development of a precancer atlas to better understand the biology of pre-invasive changes, including the tissue microenvironment and the underlying genetics that drive carcinogenesis. These data will inform the development of novel immunoprevention/immuno-interception strategies. International cancer foundations have also started recognizing immunoprevention and immune interception with the American Association for Cancer Research, Cancer Research UK and the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer each implementing programming focused on this area. This review will present recent advances, opportunities, and challenges in the emerging field of cancer immune prevention and immune interception.

    Abstract Advanced triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an incurable disease classified by its lack of expression of the estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2. Due to its lack of therapeutic targets, it has historically been treated with single agent chemotherapy, with combination cytotoxic therapy typically reserved for patients with high disease burdens, symptomatic disease, and/or impending visceral crisis. Recent molecular analyses have revealed that this clinical group of TNBCs is in fact quite biologically heterogeneous, with multiple TNBC subtypes defined by distinct biology and clinical behavior. Building on this biology, 2 targeted strategies are now approved for selected patients with advanced TNBC: the poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors for advanced TNBC with a germline mutation in BRCA1/2, and the combination of the programmed death ligand 1-specific antibody atezolizumab with nab-paclitaxel for advanced TNBC that expresses programmed death ligand 1 on immune cells within the tumor. These targeted agents tend to be associated with a more favorable side effect profile and longer disease control than standard chemotherapy. A number of other targeted therapies have shown promise in early clinical trials, and several are now in definitive phase 3 testing for advanced TNBC. These include the antiapoptotic kinase inhibitors ipatisertib and capivasertib, and the antibody-drug conjugate sacituzumab govitecan-hziy. Approved biomarker-driven treatment options for this disease are thus likely to expand in the near-term. Here we review current treatment options and emerging targeted therapies for advanced TNBC. For patients who do not meet criteria for approved targeted therapies, participation in clinical trials evaluating precision medicines with candidate predictive biomarkers in advanced TNBC should be encouraged.

    Abstract Introduction: Triple negative breast cancer, defined by a lack of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, or human epidermal growth factor2, accounts for approximately 15% of breast cancer patients. Treatment options have historically been limited to chemotherapy, which has significant toxicity and a suboptimal impact on the five-year relapse rate and survival.
    Areas covered: Transcriptomic analyses reveal that TNBC is biologically heterogenous. Predictive biomarkers based on the distinct biology of the different subtypes of TNBC should identify patients that will derive the greatest benefit from a specifically targeted therapeutic agent. Two biomarker-driven treatments have recently been approved: poly-ADP ribose polymerase inhibitors for patients with germline
    Expert opinion: Identifying informative predictive biomarkers is critical for the optimal development of targeted drugs for TNBC. Some targeted agents, such as the antibody-drug conjugate sacituzumab govitecan-hziy and the precision medicines capivasertib and ipatisertib, have already shown promising results in early clinical trials, and the results of definitive phase 3 trials are eagerly awaited. Additionally, testing novel immunotherapies and other targeted agents in earlier stages of disease, particularly the neoadjuvant setting, is a high priority.
