Real-world outcomes of sacituzumab govitecan in breast cancer.

Abstract

e13137 Background: Sacituzumab govitecan (Trodelvy), a novel antibody-drug conjugate, has emerged as a promising treatment option, in patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC). It gained FDA approval for unresectable locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) who have received two or more prior systemic therapies based on ASCENT trial which demonstrated that progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was significantly longer with sacituzumab govitecan than with single-agent chemotherapy. Hence, here in our current study, we further explore the outcomes of patients on sacituzumab govitecan in the setting of mTNBC. Methods: A single-center retrospective analysis was conducted on 21 women (aged 30-80 years old) with mTNBC breast cancer treated with sacituzumab govitecan over a span of 4 years. Baseline characteristics, pre-sacituzumab govitecan treatment PFS correlations, PFS and OS of sacituzumab govitecan were assessed and compared with the ASCENT trial. Results: A total of 21 women, comprising 10 African American, 10 Caucasian, and 1 Asian were evaluated over a span of 4 years. In our study with an average population of 50.6 years, the overall mean (± standard error of the mean) observed was 5.00 months (SEM 1.02) for PFS and 8.33 months (SEM 1.62) for OS. Patients with brain metastasis (n=8) and without brain metastasis (n=13) exhibited a mean of 5.99 months (SEM 2.23) and 4.40 months (SEM 0.97) for PFS respectively whereas 8.34 months (SEM 2.28) and 8.33 months (SEM 2.29) for OS respectively. The average number of previous treatment exposures in this subset was 5.6, with a mean PFS of 11.33 months (SEM 3.64) for prior treatment before initiation of sacituzumab govitecan. Conclusions: Our data reflects a similar interpretation with ASCENT trial study for mean PFS, however with a lower mean OS. In our study, the mean PFS from 8 patients who had brain metastasis closely matched with the patients without brain metastasis and the median PFS of the trial, thus suggesting potential consideration of sacituzumab govitecan in patients with active brain metastasis, as the patients with brain metastasis were excluded from the primary endpoint analysis in the ASCENT trial. No correlation was observed between the mean PFS of the prior line of therapy before sacituzumab govitecan and sacituzumab govitecan’s mean PFS. Overall, sacituzumab govitecan represents a significant advancement in breast cancer treatment and offers hope for patients with mTNBC.
