The phase III, multicenter, pragmatic PLANET trial aims to evaluate the benefit and safety of pembrolizumab as an addition to standard of care adjuvant treatment (capecitabine or olaparib) in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients with residual disease (non-pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and pembrolizumab. All study procedures resemble routine clinical practice as much as possible (i.e., pragmatic clinical trial). In addition to the randomized trial, a registry will be set up, in which patients who reach pCR (and therefore, do not receive adjuvant treatment) will be registered and followed.

Standard of care adjuvant treatment (capecitabine or olaparib) plus pembrolizumab
Standard of care adjuvant treatment (capecitabine or olaparib)
Invasive disease free survival (IDFS)
IDFS, defined as time since randomisation to local or distant breast cancer recurrence, second primary non-breast cancer or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Time frame: Up to 10 years after inclusion of the last patient
Distant disease free survival (DDFS)
DDFS, defined as time from randomisation to distant recurrence or death due to any cause.
Time frame: Up to 10 years after inclusion of the last patient
Overall survival (OS)
OS, defined as time from randomisation to death due to any cause.
Time frame: Up to 10 years after inclusion of the last patient
Safety/adverse events of adjuvant pembrolizumab
Measured by adverse events (AEs), adverse events of special interest (AESIs) and serious adverse events (SAEs).
Time frame: Up to 28 days after inclusion of the last patient
Health related quality of life (HRQoL) - EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-C30
The effect of adjuvant pembrolizumab on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), assessed via Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-C30. For functional and global HRQoL scales, higher scores represent a better level of functioning and are converted to a 0 to 100 scale. For symptom-oriented scales, a higher score represents more severe symptoms.
Time frame: Up to 1 year after inclusion of the last patient
Health related quality of life (HRQoL) - EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-BR42
The effect of adjuvant pembrolizumab on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), assessed via Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-BR42. For functional and global HRQoL scales, higher scores represent a better level of functioning and are converted to a 0 to 100 scale. For symptom-oriented scales, a higher score represents more severe symptoms.
Time frame: Up to 1 year after inclusion of the last patient
Health related quality of life (HRQoL) - EuroQol Health Utilities Index (EQ-5D)
The effect of adjuvant pembrolizumab on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), assessed via EuroQol Health Utilities Index (EQ-5D). Overall scores range from 0 to 1, with low scores representing a higher level of dysfunction and 1 as perfect health
Time frame: Up to 1 year after inclusion of the last patient
Cost-utility measured per incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER)
Cost-utility, based on the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER).
Time frame: Up to 28 days after inclusion of the last patient
Efficacy of pembrolizumab according to tissue biomarkers
Efficacy of pembrolizumab according to tissue biomarkers (including but not limited to stromal tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs) and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1 expression))
Time frame: Up to 10 years after inclusion of the last patient
