Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults over 18 with residual invasive triple negative breast cancer after neoadjuvant therapy and surgery.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have not undergone adequate surgical removal of their cancer or have other types of breast cancer may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy combined with pembrolizumab compared to the treatment of physician's choice in patients with triple negative breast cancer who have residual invasive disease following surgery and neoadjuvant therapy. Participants must be over 18 years old and have undergone adequate surgical removal of their cancer. The study aims to determine if this new combination therapy can improve outcomes for patients who still have cancer after standard treatments.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a more effective option for patients with residual triple negative breast cancer after surgery.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar combination therapies in treating triple negative breast cancer, indicating potential for success.
