Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Compare PFS of patients randomized to receive sacituzumab govitecan in combination with pembrolizumab (Arm A) versus those randomized to receive sacituzumab govitecan monotherapy (Arm B). Defined as the time from study randomization to disease progression, per RECIST 1.1 or medical judgment, the latter based on established clinical parameters, such as rising tumor markers and physical exam evidence of progression, i.e. worsening chest wall disease, or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first.

    3 years

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Overall Survival (OS)

    3 years

  • Objective Response Rate (ORR)

Drug: Sacituzumab GovitecanDrug: Pembrolizumab

Sacituzumab Govitecan

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive Sacituzumab Govitecan at a pre-determined dose during a 21 day cycle. Sacituzumab Govitecan will be given on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle

Drug: Sacituzumab Govitecan

Retreatment

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants randomized to the combination arm (Sacituzumab Govitecan + Pembrolizumab) who stop with CR after at least 24 weeks of treatment may be eligible for additional pembrolizumab and/or sacituzumab govitecan therapy if they progress after stopping study treatment. This is termed the Second Course Phase and is only available if the study remains open and the subject meets conditions. .

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Participants must have histologically or cytologically confirmed invasive breast cancer with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic disease. Participants without pathologic or cytologic confirmation of metastatic disease should have unequivocal evidence of metastasis from physical examination or radiologic evaluation.
  • Participants must have PD-L1-negative metastatic breast cancer defined as less than 1% expression of PD-L1 on tumor-infiltrating immune cells (IC) by the PD-L1 IHC SP142 assay or a Combined Positive Score (CPS) less than 10 by the PD-L1 IHC 22C3 assay measured with standard of care testing.
  • Participants must be treatment-naïve in the metastatic setting.
  • Participants must have evaluable or measurable disease per RECIST 1.1. Patients with bone only disease will be allowed to participate.
  • Participants must agree to undergo a research biopsy, if tumor is safely accessible, at baseline. Previously collected archival tissue will also be obtained on all participants. Tissue needs to be located and availability confirmed at time of registration (see Section 9 for more details). Participants must agree to a mandatory repeat biopsy 3-6 weeks after starting treatment, if tumor is safely accessible.
  • Prior chemotherapy: Participants must have received no prior chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer and must have discontinued all chemotherapy at least 28 days prior to study treatment initiation. No prior irinotecan or topoisomerase I-containing antibody drug conjugates in the metastatic or neo/adjuvant setting are allowed. All toxicities related to prior chemotherapy must have resolved to CTCAE v5.0 grade 1 or lower, unless otherwise specified per protocol, except alopecia can be any grade and neuropathy can be grade 2 or lower.
  • Prior biologic therapy: Patients must have received no prior biologic therapy for metastatic breast cancer and discontinued all biologic therapy at least 28 days prior to study treatment initiation. All toxicities related to prior biologic therapy must have resolved to CTCAE v5.0 grade 1 or lower, unless otherwise specified per protocol.
  • Prior radiation therapy: Patients may have received prior radiation therapy. Radiation therapy must be completed at least 7 days prior to study treatment initiation, and all toxicities related to prior radiation therapy must have resolved to CTCAE v5.0 grade 1 or lower, unless otherwise specified per protocol. A 1-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation (≤2 weeks of radiotherapy) to non-CNS disease.
  • Previously treated brain metastases are permitted, with the following provisions:
  • Prior SRS should complete ≥ 7 days before study treatment initiation
  • Prior WBRT should complete ≥ 7 days before study treatment initiation.
  • Any corticosteroid use for brain metastases must have been discontinued for ≥ 7 days prior to study treatment initiation.
  • The subject is ≥ 18 years old.
  • ECOG performance status 0-1 (Karnofsky \> 60%, see Appendix A).
  • Participants must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
  • +12 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Has received prior systemic anti-cancer therapy, including investigational agents, within 4 weeks of study treatment initiation or during the course of this study (bisphosphonates and RANK ligand inhibitors are allowed).
  • Prior therapy with any anti-PD-1, PD-L1, or PD-L2 agent or sacituzumab govitecan (IMMU-132). Prior therapy with irinotecan or topoisomerase I-containing antibody drug conjugates at any time for early stage or metastatic disease.
  • Prior hypersensitivity to pembrolizumab or the excipients of pembrolizumab or sacituzumab govitecan (IMMU-132 therapy).
  • Known history of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) \*28 allele homozygosity, which is associated with increased risk for neutropenia and diarrhea related to irinotecan. Note: Concurrent administration of strong UGT1A1 inhibitors or inducers is not allowed during the course of the study.
  • Known brain metastases that are untreated, symptomatic, or require therapy to control symptoms.
  • Major surgery within 2 weeks prior to study treatment initiation. Patients must have recovered from any effects of any major surgery.
  • Uncontrolled, significant intercurrent or recent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, uncontrolled non-malignant systemic disease, uncontrolled seizures, or psychiatric illness/social situation that would limit compliance with study requirements in the opinion of the treating investigator.
  • Participant has a medical condition that requires chronic systemic steroid therapy (\> 10 mg of prednisone daily or equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive medication (including disease modifying agents) and has required such therapy in the last 2 years. Replacement therapy (e.g. thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic therapy.
  • Participant has documented history of autoimmune disease or syndrome that currently requires systemic steroids or immunosuppressive agents.
  • History of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or current pneumonitis.
  • Individuals with a history of a second malignancy are ineligible except for the following circumstances. Individuals with a history of other malignancies are eligible if they have been disease-free for at least 3 years or are deemed by the investigator to be at low risk for recurrence of that malignancy. Individuals with the following cancers that have been diagnosed and treated within the past 3 years are eligible: cervical/prostate carcinoma in situ, superficial bladder cancer, non-melanoma cancer of the skin. Patients with other cancers diagnosed within the past 3 years and felt to be at low risk of recurrence should be discussed with the study principal investigator to determine eligibility.
  • Participant has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis B (defined as Hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\] reactive) or known active Hepatitis C virus (defined as detected HCV RNA \[qualitative\]) infection. HIV-positive participants are ineligible due to the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions of combination antiretroviral therapy with study drugs and the increased risk of fatal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy. Note: No testing for HIV, Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C is required unless mandated by local health authority.
  • The participant has received a live vaccine within 28 days prior to study treatment initiation. Examples of live vaccines include, but are not limited to, the following: measles, mumps, rubella, varicella/zoster, yellow fever, rabies, BCG, and typhoid vaccine. The use of the inactivated seasonal influenza vaccine is allowed.
  • Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the study, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator.
  • It is unknown whether pembrolizumab is excreted in human milk. Since many drugs are excreted in human milk, and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the nursing infant, participants who are breast-feeding are not eligible for enrollment.
