| E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
| E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Patients must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for participation in this study (no waivers for patient eligibility will be offered or permitted):
1) Female or male patients, regardless of race and/or ethnic group, who are18 years of age or older, able to understand and give written informed consent
2) Patients with locally advanced inoperable or metastatic TNBC who have not received previous systemic therapy for advanced disease and whose tumors are PD-L1 positive at screening.
3) Have provided representative formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor specimen in blocks (preferably) or have at least 20 to 25 freshly sectioned unstained slides from fresh biopsy tissue (preferred) or archival tissue block for central testing of ER, progesterone receptor, HER2, PD-L1, Trop-2, and additional biomarker testing. A baseline biopsy is required if archival tissue is not available and this procedure must be performed prior to the first dose of study treatment and after the patient provides written informed consent. Fine needle aspirates and bone biopsies are not suitable samples.
Note: Tumor tissue quality must be confirmed by the central laboratory. Submission of another tumor specimen may be required if provided specimen is not adequate for assessment. A discussion with the medical monitor is required if only 15 to 19 unstained slides are available and it is not clinically feasible to obtain a new biopsy.
4) ECOG performance status score of 0 or 1 (Appendix 11.6).
5) Life expectancy ≥ 3 months.
6) Recovered from major surgery for ≥ 2 weeks.
7) Adequate hematologic counts without transfusional or growth factor support within 2 weeks of study treatment initiations (hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL, ANC ≥ 1500/mm3, and platelets ≥ 100,000/μL).
8) Adequate hepatic function (bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN, AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 × ULN or ≤ 5 × ULN if known liver metastases, and serum albumin > 3 g/dL).
9) Creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min as assessed by the Cockcroft-Gault equation {Cockcroft 1976}.
10) International normalized ratio (INR)/PT and PTT or aPTT ≤ 1.5 ULN unless patient is currently receiving therapeutic anticoagulant therapy.
11) Male patients and female patients of childbearing potential who engage in heterosexual intercourse must agree to use protocol-specified method(s) of contraception as described in the protocol Appendix 11.4.
12) Patients with HIV must be on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and have a well-controlled HIV infection/disease. |

| E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Patients who meet any of the following exclusion criteria are not eligible to be enrolled in this study (no waivers for patient eligibility will be offered or permitted):
1) Positive serum pregnancy test (Appendix 11.4) or women who are lactating.
2) Known or severe (≥ Grade 3) hypersensitivity or allergy to SG, pembrolizumab, and/or the chemotherapy regimen of choice in the TPC arm (eg, nab paclitaxel, paclitaxel, gemcitabine, or carboplatin), their metabolites, or formulation excipient.
3) Have received prior therapy with an agent directed to another stimulatory or coinhibitory T-cell receptor (eg, CTLA-4, OX-40, CD137)
4) Requirement for ongoing therapy with or prior use of any prohibited medications listed in Section 5.6.1.
5) Patients may not have received systemic anticancer treatment (with the exception of endocrine therapy) within the previous 6 months or radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior to enrollment. Patients must have recovered from AEs due to a previously administered agent to ≤ Grade 1 or baseline at the time of study
entry.
6) Patients may not be participating in a study with an investigational agent or investigational device within 4 weeks prior to randomization. Patients participating in observational studies are eligible.
7) Have previously received topoisomerase 1 inhibitors or antibody drug conjugates containing a topoisomerase inhibitor.

11) Met any of the following criteria for cardiac disease:
a) Myocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris within 6 months of enrollment.

16) Have other concurrent medical or psychiatric conditions that, in the investigator’s opinion, may be likely to confound study interpretation or prevent completion of study procedures and follow-up examinations.
17) Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or receiving systemic corticosteroid therapy (higher than physiologic doses) ≥ 10 mg of prednisone per day or equivalent or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 14 days prior to randomization.
18) Has received a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to randomization. Administration of killed vaccines are allowed.
19) Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (eg, with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (eg, thyroxine, insulin, physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy
for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment and is allowed.
20) Has a history of (noninfectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that required steroids or has current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease.
21) Has received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study intervention. Patients must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities, not require corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis. A 1-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation (2 weeks of radiotherapy) to non-CNS disease. |
