Capivasertib plus paclitaxel as first-line treatment for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer: Results from the randomised, global phase III CAPItello-290 trial

Annals of Oncology | |

Adding the pan-AKT inhibitor capivasertib to first-line paclitaxel in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) led to significantly longer progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) versus placebo–paclitaxel in the phase II PAKT trial. CAPItello-290 was designed to further assess capivasertib–paclitaxel, including in patients with PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-altered tumours.
