The clinical outcome of HER2-positive breast cancer patients changed with the use of anti-Her therapies, though it still remains an aggressive and fatal disease. Implementation of immune checkpoint inhibitors in HER2-positive Breast cancer is a concept supported by the reported biological and preclinical data. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of the current literature involving immune checkpoint inhibitors alone or in combination with targeted therapies or chemotherapy finalized or running in HER2-positive breast cancer. Results: Twelve clinical trials and 2 case reports were identified in our study. Conclusion: The reported clinical trials highlight that checkpoint inhibition seems to be promising in metastatic, neoadjuvant, and adjuvant settings of HER2-positive breast cancer.
