We report the clinical activity, safety, and identification of a predictive biomarker for bintrafusp alfa, a first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of TGFβRII (a TGF-β “trap”) fused to a human IgG1 mAb blocking PD-L1, in patients with advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Here, TGFB1 is linked to triple-negative breast carcinoma.
