This study investigated the use of nivolumab, bevacizumab, and paclitaxel triple therapy for metastatic breast cancer. The results showed promising efficacy and manageable toxicity of this treatment in the first-line setting.
Background: Preclinical models revealed potential synergistic effects of programmed cell death-1 inhibitors and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibodies. Therefore, we investigated the use of nivolumab, bevacizumab, and paclitaxel triple therapy for metastatic breast cancer. Methods: This phase 2, multicentre, single-arm study (NEWBEAT) investigated the safety and efficacy of first-line nivolumab, paclitaxel, and bevacizumab in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative metastatic breast cancer, regardless of programmed cell death-ligand 1 expression. The primary end-point was objective response rate. Key secondary end-points included progression-free survival, overall survival, and toxicities. A biomarker study evaluated tumour programmed cell death-ligand 1 expression and serum VEGF-A levels. Results: Between February 2018 and October 2018, 57 patients were enrolled. An objective response rate was seen in 39/56 patients (70%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 55.9-81.2%), meeting the primary end-point. The objective response rate was 74% in patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer versus 59% in patients with triple-negative breast cancer. The median progression-free survival and overall survival were 14.0 (95% CI 11.0-16.3) and 32.5 (95% CI 26.0-not evaluable) months, respectively (median follow-up: 29.5 months). Grade 3/4 adverse drug reactions occurred in 33 of 57 patients (58%). There were no grade 5 adverse events. Immune-related adverse events occurred in 43 of 57 patients (75%), with grade 3/4 events in eight patients (14%). Biomarker analysis showed that tumour programmed cell death-ligand 1 expression was not correlated with the efficacy of triple therapy. Efficacy outcomes were similar between the serum VEGF-high and VEGF-low groups. Conclusions: First-line nivolumab, bevacizumab, and paclitaxel therapy showed promising efficacy and manageable toxicity in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative metastatic breast cancer.
