This multicenter, randomized, double-blind study evaluated the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) administered with nab-paclitaxel compared with placebo in combination with nab-paclitaxel in participants with locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who have not received prior systemic therapy for metastatic breast cancer (mBC). The safety of single-agent nab-paclitaxel has been determined in previous studies of participants with mBC and the safety data to date suggest that atezolizumab can be safely combined with standard chemotherapy agents.
Atezolizumab at a fixed dose of 840 milligrams via intravenous (IV) infusion on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Nab-Paclitaxel at a starting dose of 100 milligrams per square meter via IV infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Nab-Paclitaxel was administered for a target of at least 6 cycles, with no maximum in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Placebo administered via IV infusion on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
