What this trial studies

This observational, prospective, multicenter study aims to collect data on the effectiveness and tolerability of sacituzumab govitecan in patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC). The study will evaluate histological and biomolecular characteristics of tumor samples from both primary and metastatic sites, as well as circulating plasma. Biomarkers predictive of treatment efficacy and tolerability will be identified through analysis of tumor tissue and plasma collected at two time points. Additionally, the feasibility of developing organoids and conducting single-cell sequencing will be assessed in a small subgroup of patients.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with a histological diagnosis of locally advanced unresectable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer who are indicated for treatment with sacituzumab govitecan.

Not a fit: Patients with a history of other malignancies or contraindications to sacituzumab govitecan, as well as those with untreated or clinically unstable brain metastases, may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into the effectiveness of sacituzumab govitecan and identify biomarkers that predict patient response, potentially improving treatment strategies for mTNBC.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in evaluating treatment efficacy and biomarkers in similar patient populations, suggesting that this approach may yield valuable insights.
