KEYNOTE-522, IMpassion031 and GeparNUEVO: changing the paradigm of neoadjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitors in early triple-negative breast cancer.

TLDR
An overview of recent clinical studies of neoadjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with triple-negative breast cancer, especially focusing on the recently presented and published KEYNOTE-522, IMpassion031 and GeparNUEVO trials is provided.
Abstract
Stage I-III triple-negative breast cancer accounts for approximately 15-20% of new diagnoses of early breast cancer. Novel systemic treatment options have recently been assessed as part of the neoadjuvant approach, such as the addition of immune checkpoint inhibitors to cytotoxic chemotherapy. However, several questions remain unanswered, including the identification of predictors of response to immunotherapy in this setting, and further efforts aimed at identifying reliable predictors and clarifying the effective role of PD-L1 status, tumor mutational burden, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and other biomarkers are warranted. Herein we will provide an overview of recent clinical studies of neoadjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with triple-negative breast cancer, especially focusing on the recently presented and published KEYNOTE-522, IMpassion031 and GeparNUEVO trials.

Defining the Emergence of New Immunotherapy Approaches in Breast Cancer: Role of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells

TL;DR: In this paper , the role of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) as a therapeutic target in breast cancer was described, which has been associated with worse clinical stage, metastatic burden, and poor efficacy of immunotherapies.

The blockade of immune checkpoints in cancer immunotherapy

TL;DR: Preliminary clinical findings with blockers of additional immune-checkpoint proteins, such as programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1), indicate broad and diverse opportunities to enhance antitumour immunity with the potential to produce durable clinical responses.
