Study Comparing Tobemstomig and Nab-Paclitaxel with Pembrolizumab and Nab-Paclitaxel for Untreated PD-L1-Positive Advanced Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Sponsor: Hoffmann-La Roche

Sponsor score: 40

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT05852691

This clinical trial is testing a new combination of drugs, tobemstomig and nab-paclitaxel, against an existing treatment, pembrolizumab and nab-paclitaxel, in patients with advanced triple-negative breast cancer that is PD-L1 positive and has not been treated before.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The aim of this study is to evaluate how well a new immunotherapy drug, tobemstomig, works when combined with nab-paclitaxel in treating patients with advanced triple-negative breast cancer that is PD-L1 positive. The study will compare this new combination to the existing treatment of pembrolizumab and nab-paclitaxel to see which is more effective and safe.
