Abandon of the partner, ROCHE

The aim of this study is to determine, using immunohistochemistry (IHC) on biopsies and surgically removed tumor if short-treatment immunotherapy with atezolizumab monotherapy or in combination with other biologic agents (ipatasertib / Bevacizumab / Trastuzumab / Pertuzumab) is associated with increased levels of activated GzmB+ CD8+ T cells from baseline to post treatment sample.

Moreover, from baseline to post treatment sample, evolution of others biomarkers will be studied : GzmB/CD8, CD8/FoxP3, CD8/CD68 in IHC, cell proliferation, PD-L1, MHC-I, change in gene expression (RNA-Seq). Tjis study aim also to assess the safety and tolerability of study treatments in this population and to determine the effect of short-term immunotherapy treatment in pCR at surgery.

Patients will undergo tumor biopsies at screening and 15 days after the beginning of treatment (if they start neoadjuvant chemotherapy) / at surgery, in order to evaluate in IHC evolution of activated GzmB+ CD8+ T cells and evaluate other markers

It targets 2 different cohorts: newly diagnosed, non-metastatic early-stage triple-negative (TNBC) or HER2+ breast cancer. TNBC cohort is composed of 2 open-label, randomized arms, HER2+ of 2 arms.

A maximum of 185 patients will be included in the trial

Tumor evaluation will be performed by clinical examination and Breast echography at baseline and end of treatment visit.

The safety of the product will be assessed at each cycle, through complete clinical exams, biological tests and through the collection of ongoing toxicities or adverse events.

Cohort 1 In TNBC patients t will be composed of 4 open-label, randomized arms:

Arm 1A: atezolizumab alone, administered as one single IV infusion on day -15 +/- 48 h Arm 1B: atezolizumab and bevacizumab as one single IV infusion on day -15 +/- 48 h (D1) prior to the date of surgery or the start of the standard of care neoadjuvant systemic treatment.

Cohort 2 in HER2-positive patients will be composed of 2 arms:

Arm 2A: pertuzumab for one IV infusion on day -15 +/- 48 h (D1) prior to the date of surgery or the start of the standard of care neoadjuvant systemic treatment.

Arm 2B: atezolizumab as one single IV infusion in combination with trastuzumab + pertuzumab for one IV infusion on day -15 +/- 48 h (D1) prior to the date of surgery or the start of the standard of care neoadjuvant systemic treatment.

• Patients of child-bearing potential are eligible, provided they have a negative serum β-HCG pregnancy test within 2 weeks or urine pregnancy test within 48 hours prior to the first dose of study treatment, and agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive methods with a failure rate of < 1% per year during the treatment period and for 5 months after the last dose of atezolizumab, 6 months after the last dose of bevacizumab, 28 days after the last dose of ipatasertib and 7 months after the last dose of pertuzumab and/or trastuzumab.

• A woman is considered of childbearing potential following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal (≥ 12 months of non-therapy-induced amenorrhea) unless permanently sterile. Permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy and bilateral salpingectomy.

• Sexually active women of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception supplemented by a barrier method, or to abstain from sexual activity during the study and for at least 5 months after discontinuation of atezolizumab treatment, 6 months after the last dose of bevacizumab, 28 days after the last dose of ipatasertib and 7 months after the last dose of pertuzumab and/or trastuzumab.

• A highly effective birth control method is a one, which can achieve a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. Such methods include: combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception; progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation; intrauterine device (IUD); intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS); bilateral tubal occlusion; vasectomized partner (on the understanding that this is the only one partner during the whole study duration), and sexual abstinence during the entire period of risk associated with study treatment. To prevent the risk of interaction between the study drug and hormonal contraceptives, hormonal contraceptives should be supplemented with a barrier method (preferably male condom). Following methods are considered as unacceptable methods (non-exhaustive list): periodic abstinence (calendar, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal (coitus interruptus).
