High amounts of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in TNBC are associated with higher treatment response and better outcome. Immunotherapy alone or in combination might be used to increase pathological complete response (pCR, ypT0 ypN0). Adding an anti-PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor (Durvalumab) to standard CT might be a valid option.Trial design: GeparNuevo will randomize patients to Durvalumab 1500 mg i.v. or placebo every 4 weeks. Monotherapy (750 mg i.v.) is given for the first 2 weeks (window phase), followed by a biopsy and Durvalumab/placebo plus nab-paclitaxel (nP) 125 mg/m2 weekly for 12 weeks followed by Durvalumab/placebo plus epirubicin/cyclophosphamide every 2 weeks for...
