Summary

This trial studies how safe and effective sacituzumab govitecan and trastuzumab are in treating metastatic HER2+ breast cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer who've had specific prior treatments including a taxane, trastuzumab, and T-DXd. They must have at least one measurable tumor, normal organ function, an ECOG performance status of 0-2, and no major health issues that could interfere with the study. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals are excluded.
What is being tested?
The trial tests sacituzumab govitecan combined with trastuzumab (Herceptin or similar) to see if they're safe and effective against advanced breast cancer that has worsened after previous treatment. Participants will receive these drugs as part of their therapy regimen.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include allergic reactions to the drugs used in this study (sacituzumab govitean and trastuzumab), as well as possible side effects from antibody-drug conjugates like nausea, fatigue, low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk, diarrhea, and liver enzyme changes.
