Immune-checkpoint inhibitors
PANACEA (NCT02129556)174 I/II ER+ or ER− Metastatic T Pembrolizumab Objective response achieved in 6 (15) of 40 patients with PD-L1-positive disease, but none in patient with PD-L1-negative disease
neoHIP (NCT03747120)175 II ER+ or ER− Neoadjuvant T+P Pembrolizumab Ongoing (recruiting)

NCT03417544 II ER+ or ER− Metastatic T+P Atezolizumab Ongoing (recruiting)

For some trials, ER status actually reflects the hormone receptor status (that is, positive or negative for ER and/or progesterone receptor expression). ER, oestrogen receptor; HR, hormone receptor; n, number of patients; P, pertuzumab; pCR, pathological complete response; PD-L1, programmed cell death 1 ligand 1; T, trastuzumab.
