Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of Datopotamab Deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) with or without durvalumab compared to the investigator's choice chemotherapy combined with pembrolizumab in patients who have PD-L1 positive locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This Phase III, randomized, open-label, international study aims to see if adding durvalumab to Dato-DXd can help patients live longer without their cancer worsening or simply live longer compared to standard chemotherapy with pembrolizumab. The study also examines how the treatments and cancer impact patients' quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: Dato-DXd plus durvalumab, Dato-DXd alone, or investigator's choice chemotherapy (paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, or gemcitabine plus carboplatin) combined with pembrolizumab. All treatments are given by intravenous infusion. The study design includes stratification based on geographic location, disease-free interval history, and prior PD-1/PD-L1 treatment for early-stage TNBC. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor their disease status using RECIST 1.1 criteria and undergo imaging reviewed by blinded independent central review. Researchers will track progression-free survival, quality of life, safety, and other health measures over an anticipated period of up to 33 months. Participants must provide tumor samples for PD-L1 testing, and safety monitoring will continue throughout the study.
