Recruiting PHASE2 Breast Cancer

New treatment option for Breast Cancer

Official title Sacituzumab Govitecan +/- Pembrolizumab in Metastatic TNBC

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04468061

What this study is testing

What is Sacituzumab Govitecan?

Sacituzumab Govitecan is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for breast cancer.

Also referred to as IMMU-132, Trodelvy.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This research study involves testing the safety and efficacy of an investigational intervention for patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that has spread, or metastasized, to other parts the body and is PD-L1-negative. The names of the study interventions involved in this study are: Sacituzumab govitecan (Trodelvy™;IMMU-132) Pembrolizumab (Keytruda®; MK-3475)
