Clinical Trial Protocol Description:

A Randomized, Open-label, Phase 3 Study of Sacituzumab Govitecan Versus Treatment of Physician's Choice in Patients With Previously Untreated, Locally Advanced, Inoperable or Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Whose Tumors Do Not Express PD-L1 or in Patients Previously Treated With Anti-PD-(L)1 Agents in the Early Setting Whose Tumors Do Express PD-L1

The purpose of this study is to see if the drug sacituzumab govitecan can improve lifespans of participants with advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and their tumor does not grow or spread when compared to chemotherapy (paclitaxel, or nab-paclitaxel, or the combination of gemcitabine and carboplatin), a commonly used treatment for previously untreated advanced TNBC. “Investigational” means that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved this treatment as a prescription medicine and it must be tested to see if it is a safe and effective treatment method for this disease. 

If you qualify to join this study, your participation may last up to 5 years and you will be asked to complete study visits at least 2-3 times per cycle (1 cycle consists of 21 or 28 days), depending on which treatment group you are assigned. During the follow-up period, you may be required to visit the clinic every 12 weeks or more frequently.

Clinical Trial Eligibility Criteria:

In order to participate you must meet the following criteria:

  • Are female or male and 18 years of age or older.
  • Have previously untreated locally advanced, inoperable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
  • Have measurable disease based on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and confirmed by your doctor.

  • Have positive blood pregnancy test or are lactating.
  • Have received systemic anticancer treatment within the previous 6 months or radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior to enrollment.
  • Have previously received topoisomerase 1 inhibitors or antibody drug conjugates containing a topoisomerase inhibitor.
