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.
