Abstract

Abstract Metastatic breast cancer (mBC) is an incurable disease, and it is not sensitive to immunotherapy due to its low immunogenicity. Recently, inactivated DNA polymerase epsilon (POLE) mutations have been found to be associated with high tumor mutational burden (TMB), which is an effective immuno-oncology biomarker. Patients with POLE mutations with different types of cancer have properly responded to immunotherapy. We aimed to report the first case of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-negative mBC presenting with high TMB and POLE mutations, in which a complete response to 5 cycles of chemotherapy and 1 year of pembrolizumab and trastuzumab was noted after failing several lines of HER2-targeted therapies. Our findings also suggest that biomarker-driven patient selection is highly significant for further clinical development of combination therapies via anti-HER2 plus immune-checkpoint inhibitors for HER2+ BC patients.
