Abstract GS1-01: KEYNOTE-522 study of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab + chemotherapy vs placebo + chemotherapy, followed by adjuvant pembrolizumab vs placebo for early-stage TNBC: Event-free survival sensitivity and subgroup analyses

Abstract Background: KEYNOTE-522 (NCT03036488) is a phase 3 study of neoadjuvant pembro + chemo vs placebo + chemo, followed by adjuvant pembro vs placebo in patients with early-stage TNBC. The primary analysis showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in event-free survival (EFS) with pembro + chemo followed by pembro. To assess the robustness and consistency of the primary EFS result, prespecified sensitivity and subgroup analyses for EFS were performed. Methods: Patients with previously untreated, non-metastatic, centrally confirmed TNBC (stage T1c N1-2 or T2-4 N0-2 per AJCC) were randomized 2:1 to pembro 200 mg Q3W or placebo, both given with 4 cycles of paclitaxel + carboplatin, then with 4 cycles of doxorubicin or epirubicin + cyclophosphamide (neoadjuvant phase). After definitive surgery, patients received pembro or placebo for 9 cycles or until recurrence or unacceptable toxicity (adjuvant phase). Patients were stratified by nodal status (positive or negative), tumor size (T1/T2 or T3/T4), and carboplatin schedule (Q3W or QW). Dual primary endpoints are pCR rate and EFS. Five prespecified sensitivity analyses for EFS were performed, including 2 that assessed the impact of different censoring rules and 3 that assessed the impact of different event definitions. Treatment effects on EFS were examined in prespecified patient subgroups defined by nodal involvement (positive or negative), disease stage (II or III), menopausal status (pre-menopausal or post-menopausal), HER2 status (2+ by IHC but FISH- or 0-1+ by IHC), and LDH (>ULN or ≤ULN). Results: Among 1174 patients randomized, 784 were randomly assigned to the pembro + chemo group and 390 were randomly assigned to the placebo + chemo group. Median follow-up was 39.1 months at the time of the March 23, 2021 data cutoff. The benefit of neoadjuvant pembro + chemo followed by adjuvant pembro vs neoadjuvant chemo alone was generally consistent with the primary EFS results for all five sensitivity analyses and in each subgroup evaluated (Table). Conclusion: EFS sensitivity analyses show a robust treatment benefit of neoadjuvant pembro + chemo followed by adjuvant pembro for previously untreated non-metastatic TNBC. This benefit was generally consistent across a broad selection of patient subgroups. Table.
