Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the drug Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) reduces disease progression when used as a first-line treatment in adults with advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who have not received prior treatments in the advanced setting. It will also look at whether the effectiveness of the drug differs between TNBC adults with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) subtypes and those with non-HRD subtypes. The main questions this study aims to answer are:
- Will patients with advanced TNBC who haven't received prior treatment in the advanced setting respond better (i.e., slowed disease progression) when given SG as a first-line treatment?
- Does the overall response rate of SG differ between HRD vs non-HRD advanced TNBC patients without prior treatment in the advanced setting? Participants will:
- Be given drug SG on days 1 and 8 of 21-day cycle(s)
- Will continue (repeat) 21-day cycles until disease progression or voluntary withdrawal
- Visit the clinic for treatments on days 1 and 8
- Have long-term follow-up every 12 weeks via phone or in-clinic

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Overall Response Rate (ORR) of SG in advanced TNBC
To evaluate the overall response rate (ORR) of Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) in advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients without prior treatment in the advance setting, stratified by molecular subtypes using whole-genome and transcriptome analysis (WGTA).
Up to an average of 6 months
ORR of SG between HRD vs non-HRD in advanced TNBC
2\. To compare the ORR of SG between homologous recombination-deficient (HRD) vs non-HRD advanced TNBC patients without prior treatment in the advance setting, utilizing WGTA.
Up to an average of 6 months
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Evaluate clinical benefit rate (CBR) of SG in advanced TNBC
Up to an average of 6 months
Assess progression-free survival (PFS) and overall-survival (OS) in advanced TNBC treated with SG
Up to an average of 12 months
Number of advanced TNBC participants receiving SG in first-line setting with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0
Up to an average of 3 months
Changes in health-related quality of life when treated with SG
At follow-up, within 30 days following the last dose of study drug
Study Arms (1)
Sacituzumab Govitecan
EXPERIMENTALPatients will receive SG at an initial dose of 10 mg per kilogram intravenously on day 1 and 8 of 21-day cycles. Treatment and cycles will continue until there is evidence of disease progression, significant toxicity, or if the participant or Investigator decide to discontinue treatment for any reason.
Interventions
Administer Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG) at 10 mg/kg as an intravenous (IV) infusion on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle. SG should not be administered as an IV push or bolus.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Participants must meet all the following criteria to be eligible for participation in this study:
- Willing and able to provide informed consent.
- Age \>18 years old at the time of informed consent and has signed informed consent before any trial related activities are conducted according to local guidelines.
- For participants of child-bearing potential (menstruation within \<2 years): negative serum pregnancy test within 14-days prior to enrollment and must be willing to use Health Canada-approved effective contraception methods (e.g., hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine device or system, tubal ligation, or double barrier method) starting 1 week prior to study treatment, throughout the study, and for 6 months following the last dose of SG.
- For participants considered not of child-bearing potential (postmenopausal): must meet one of the following criteria at the time of study entry:
- i. Prior bilateral oophorectomy ii. Age \> 60 iii. Age \< 60 with \>12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea (not due to chemotherapy, tamoxifen, toremifene, or ovarian suppression) and laboratory confirmation of postmenopausal FSH and estradiol levels per local postmenopausal reference ranges iv. Ovarian suppression with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist (e.g., goserelin) initiated \>28 days before Cycle 1 Day 1
- Advanced (locoregionally recurrent and non-operable, or metastatic) triple-negative breast cancer patients not amenable to curative therapy (surgery and/or radiotherapy), including those who are PDL1 negative (combined positive score \[cps\] \<10), immuno-oncology therapy ineligible, or who had early-relapse after neoadjuvant therapy and not eligible for immuno-oncology in the first-line setting.
- Histologically and/or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of estrogen-receptor negative breast cancer by local laboratory testing (based on most recently analyzed biopsy).
- HER2-negative breast cancer (based on most recently analyzed biopsy) defined as negative in situ hybridization test or an immunohistochemistry (IHC) status of 0, 1+ or 2+. If IHC is 2+, a negative in situ hybridization (FISH, CISH, SISH) test is required by local laboratory testing, as defined in the relevant American Society of Clinical Oncology / College of American Pathologists Guidelines.
- Not previously received systemic therapy in the advanced setting.
- Participants can have measurable or non-measurable disease by CT or MRI as per RECIST Version 1.1 criteria as evaluated locally. Tumour lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if unequivocal progression has been documented in such lesions since radiation. All radiology studies must be performed within 28-days of Day 1 Cycle 1.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1.
- Life expectancy \> 3 months.
- Acceptable bone marrow and organ function defined by the following laboratory values without transfusion or growth factor support within 2 weeks of treatment initiation:

- +5 more criteria
You may not qualify if:

- Has a history or evidence of any condition or laboratory abnormality that would place the participant at undue risk, as determined by the Investigator.
- Currently active Hepatitis B virus (HBV) or active Hepatitis C virus (HCV).
- For participants with a history of HBV infection, a hepatitis B core antibody test should be conducted at screening. If positive, hepatitis B DNA testing will be performed and if active HBV infection is ruled out, the participant may be eligible.
- Those who are HCV antibody positive with undetectable HCV viral load may be eligible.
- Has an active human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (e.g., with detectable viral load).

- Has not had resolution of all acute toxic effects of prior anti-cancer therapy to CTCAE version 5.0 grade \<1 (except toxicities not considered a safety risk for the participant at Investigator's discretion, e.g. grade 2 peripheral neuropathy from prior chemotherapy).
- Have an active second malignancy. Participants with a history of malignancy that has been completely treated, with no evidence of active cancer for 3 years prior to enrollment, or participants with surgically cured tumours with low risk of recurrence (e.g., non-melanoma skin cancer, histologically confirmed complete excision of carcinoma in situ, or similar) are allowed to enroll.
