Purpose: To study the anti-cancer activity, safety and side effects of giving the antibody-drug conjugate sacituzumab govitecan (Trodelvy®) to treat brain metastases (breast cancer that has spread to the brain).

Who is this for?: People with metastatic (stage IV) HER2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer that has spread to the brain. View full eligibility criteria

What's involved?

You will receive the following: <ul class="seamTextUnorderedList"> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">Sacituzumab govitecan (Trodelvy®), by IV, every week (2 weeks on, 1 week off), ongoing</li></ul>

What's being studied?

<ul class="seamTextUnorderedList"> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">Sacituzumab govitecan (Trodelvy®) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). This means it uses an antibody that targets cancer cells to deliver a chemotherapy directly to these cells.</li> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">The antibody in this drug targets TROP2 proteins. It delivers the chemotherapy irinotecan. Irinotecan is approved for use in many other types of cancer.</li> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">Sacituzumab govitecan is approved for use in people with metastatic triple negative breast cancer who have already received at least two other therapies for metastatic disease, but its use in this trial is considered experimental.</li></ul>
