This multicenter, phase II study (NCT03872791) aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the anti-PD-L1/CTLA-4 bispecific antibody KN046 combined with nab-paclitaxel in the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The primary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DoR), and secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) rate, safety, and the correlation of PD-L1 status with clinical efficacy. This trial met pre-specified endpoints. 27 female patients were enrolled sequentially to receive KN046 in two dose levels (3 mg/kg or 5 mg/kg). Among the 25 evaluable patients, the ORR achieved 44.0% (95% CI, 24.4% - 65.1%), and the median DoR was not mature. The median PFS reached 7.33 months (95%CI, 3.68 - 11.07 months), and the median OS was 30.92 months (95%CI, 14.75 - NE months). In PD-L1 positive patients, PFS was 8.61 months (versus 4.73 months) and the 2-year OS rate was 62.5% (versus 57.1%) compared to PD-L1 negative patients. Patients tolerated well the combination therapy. In general, KN046 combined with nab-paclitaxel showed favorable efficacy and survival benefits with tolerable toxicity in the first-line treatment of metastatic TNBC, especially PD-L1 positive, which is worth further investigation.
