Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18) with histologically confirmed metastatic triple-negative breast cancer who have received at least one prior line of systemic chemotherapy for metastatic disease, have measurable disease, adequate organ and marrow function, and meet the study ECOG performance status criteria (0–1 for phase I, 0–2 for phase II).
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with poor performance status (ECOG >2), inadequate organ or marrow function, no measurable disease, or who cannot receive sacituzumab govitecan per standard care are unlikely to benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This Phase I/II trial combines naxitamab (an anti-GD2 monoclonal antibody) with sacituzumab govitecan (a Trop-2 antibody-drug conjugate) to treat adults with metastatic TNBC. Phase I will determine safety, tolerability, and the maximum tolerated dose/recommended Phase II dose (MTD/RP2D), and Phase II will measure objective response rate by RECIST v1.1 at the selected dose. Secondary endpoints include duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and identification of GD2-related biomarkers of response or resistance. Participants must have received prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease, have measurable disease, adequate organ function, and be willing to provide tumor tissue for correlative studies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could increase response rates and prolong disease control for some patients with metastatic TNBC.
How similar studies have gone: Sacituzumab govitecan is an approved active therapy in metastatic TNBC and anti-GD2 antibodies have shown activity in other cancers, but combining naxitamab with sacituzumab govitecan for TNBC is a novel approach with limited prior clinical data.
