The KEYNOTE-522 (KN522) regimen for neoadjuvant treatment of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) utilized q3week dosing for doxorubicin plus cyclophosphamide (AC); however, dose-dense AC (ddAC) has demonstrated superior overall survival (OS) compared to q3week AC in anthracycline and taxane-based regimens. We performed a retrospective analysis assessing the use of ddAC in KN522 and the impact of sequencing ddAC before or after carboplatin/paclitaxel (CbT) plus pembrolizumab on multiple outcomes. 128 patients with TNBC were included. Overall pathologic complete response (pCR) rate of 56%. Sequencing of ddAC vs CbT first showed no difference in pCR rate (ddAC 55% vs. CbT 58%, p = 0.77). However, ddAC first compared to CbT first correlated with a significant increase in the incidence of overall treatment delays (ddAC 70% vs. CbT 51%, p = 0.03), with cytopenias most frequent (ddAC 59% vs. CbT 31%, p = 0.001). ddAC in a modified KN522 regimen is safe, tolerable, and effective. Efficacy is comparable regardless of chemotherapy sequencing, but ddAC first is significantly associated with higher rates of treatment delays and cytopenias.
