Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

• CRITERIA FOR EXPERIMENTAL ARM : Inclusion criteria (for experimental arm): Patients eligible for this study must meet ALL of the following criteria: 1. Patient must have signed a written informed consent prior to any trial specific procedures.

Patient should be able and willing to comply with study visits and procedures as per protocol; 15. Patients must be affiliated to a Social Security System (or equivalent). Non-inclusion criteria (for experimental arm): Patients eligible for this study must not meet ANY of the following criteria: 1. Radiological or clinical evidence of metastatic disease documented by imaging or clinical examination performed during screening period; 2.

Has a known additional malignancy, excepted skin basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or in situ cervical cancer or previously treated malignancy with no evidence of disease for ≥2 years; 4. Presents a contraindication to continue pembrolizumab treatment as per respective SmPC including known hypersensitivity; 5. Previous immune-related adverse event of any grade due to pembrolizumab that led to permanent discontinuation of pembrolizumab; 6. Presents a contraindication to capecitabine treatment as per SmPC (See EMA website for most recent edition of SmPC); 7. Complete DPD (Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase) deficiency (a systematic screening of DPD deficiency must be performed); 8. Patient with active infection ; 9. Patients with history of uncontrolled or symptomatic cardiac disease ; 10. Patients having received brivudine within 4 weeks prior to inclusion; 11. Require the use of one of the following forbidden treatments during the study treatment period: * Any investigational anticancer therapy other than the protocol specified treatment; * Any concurrent chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic for cancer treatment, other than the ones stated in the protocol; 12. Pregnant women or women who are breast-feeding; 13. Patients unwilling or unable to comply with the medical follow-up required by the trial because of geographic, familial, social, or psychological reasons; 14. Persons deprived of their liberty or under protective custody or guardianship; 15. Participation in another therapeutic trial within the 30 days prior to randomization. * CRITERIA FOR STANDARD OF CARE TREATED EXTERNAL COHORT Inclusion criteria (for standard of care treated external cohort) : Patients eligible for this cohort must meet ALL of the following criteria: 1. Patient information prior to study entry and non-opposition to data collection 2. Subject ≥18 years of age ; 3. Histologically proven TNBC defined as follows: 1. HER2 negativity (ASCO/CAP criteria) 2. AND less than 10% of cells stained by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for ER and PgR; 4. TNBC patients previously treated by standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy with a minimum of 6 cycles of immunochemotherapy containing pembrolizumab, per standard of care (and pembrolizumab label) and anthracyclines and/or taxanes (with/without carboplatin).

No complete pathological response, defined as RCB Class I, II or III (per local assessment); 7. Patient should have received at least one injection of pembrolizumab as post-surgery treatment (concomitantly or after radiotherapy). Non-exclusion criteria (for standard of care treated external cohort) : Patients eligible for this study must not meet ANY of the following criteria: 1. Radiological or clinical evidence of metastatic disease documented by imaging or clinical examination after surgery. 2. Has received capecitabine or other ICI than pembrolizumab in the NAC regimen; 3. Has a known additional malignancy, excepted skin basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or in situ cervical cancer or previously treated malignancy with no evidence of disease for ≥2 years; 4. Any investigational anticancer therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic for cancer treatment) other than pembrolizumab only as adjuvant treatment.
