An integrated analysis of Sacituzumab govitecan in relapsed or refractory metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.

Abstract

Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) is an antibody-drug conjugate that targets the human trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 to deliver SN-38 to cancer cells. In this study, we assessed the efficacy and safety of SG in patients with relapsed or refractory metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (RM-TNBC). For this integrated analysis, from inception to January 2, 2023, we searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane library databases for prospective studies that evaluated SC in RM-TNBC patients. Primary endpoints were survival outcomes and responses. Secondary endpoints were all grade and grade ≥ 3 toxicities. Six hundred potentially relevant records were screened. Our analysis included 3 trials (412 patients). Median overall survival was 12.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 11.5-14.4), progression-free survival was 5.7 months (5% CI, 5.1-6.3), and duration of objective response was 7.4 months (5% CI, 5.8-9.0). The objective response rate was 34%, and the disease control rate was 71%. Key grade ≥ 3 toxicities (in over 10% of the patients) included neutropenia (46%), leukopenia (12%), febrile neutropenia (11%), diarrhea (11%), and anemia (10%). Four treatment-related deaths were reported. SG was associated with effectiveness in patients with RM-TNBC. Myelosuppression and diarrhea were the primary treatment-related adverse events.
