Clinical summary
Summary
This study is being conducted to determine the efficacy and safety in using MPDL3280A in combination with nab-paclitaxel in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer. The safety of single-agent nab-paclitaxel has been determined in previous studies of patients with metastatic breast cancer, and preliminary data shows the use of MPDL3280A is safe to use in combination with chemotherapy. No prior chemotherapy.
Conditions
This trial is treating people with breast cancer
Eligibility
Inclusion
- Metastatic or locally advanced, histologically documented TNBC characterized by absence of human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2), estrogen receptor (ER), and progesterone receptor (PR) expression
- No prior chemotherapy or targeted systemic therapy for inoperable locally advanced or metastatic TNBC
- Eligible for taxane monotherapy (i.e., absence of rapid clinical progression, life-threatening visceral metastases, or the need for rapid symptom and/or disease control)
- A representative formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor specimen in paraffin blocks, or at least 20 unstained slides with an associated pathology report documenting ER, PR, and HER2 negativity. Participants with fewer than 20 unstained slides available at baseline, and not fewer than 12 unstained slides will be eligible upon discussion with Medical Monitor
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1
- Measurable disease as defined by RECIST v1.1
- Adequate hematologic and end-organ function

- Pregnancy or lactation
- History of autoimmune disease
- Prior allogeneic stem cell or solid organ transplantation
- Positive test for human immunodeficiency virus
- Active hepatitis B or hepatitis C
- Receipt of a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to randomization, during treatment, or within 5 months following the last dose of atezolizumab/placebo
Inclusion
- Your cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or has grown into nearby parts of the body (locally advanced).
Exclusion
- You have certain types of non-cancer medical conditions.
Clinical trials have complex eligibility criteria, and other criteria may apply for this trial. Ask your doctor about whether this trial could be right for you.
