Abstract | PURPOSE: EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We identified patients with mTNBC, who consented to targeted DNA sequencing and were treated with ICIs on clinical trials between April 2014 and January 2019 at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (Boston, MA). Objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were correlated with tumor genomic features. RESULTS: Sixty-two women received anti-PD-1/L1 inhibitors alone (23%) or combined with targeted therapy (19%) or chemotherapy (58%). High TMB (18%) was associated with significantly longer PFS (12.5 vs. 3.7 months; P = 0.04), while PTEN alterations (29%) were associated with significantly lower ORR (6% vs. 48%; P = 0.01), shorter PFS (2.3 vs. 6.1 months; P = 0.01), and shorter OS (9.7 vs. 20.5 months; P = 0.02). Multivariate analyses confirmed that these associations were independent of performance status, prior lines of therapy, therapy regimen, and visceral metastases. The survival associations were additionally independent of PD-L1 in patients with known PD-L1 and were not found in mTNBC cohorts treated with chemotherapy (n = 90) and non-ICI regimens (n = 169). CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with mTNBC treated with anti-PD-1/L1 therapies, high TMB and PTEN alterations were associated with longer and shorter survival, respectively. These observations warrant validation in larger datasets.
