Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?This phase II trial tests how well sacituzumab govitecan works in treating patients with cholangiocarcinoma that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Sacituzumab govitecan is a monoclonal antibody, called hRS7, linked to a toxic agent, called SN-38. HRS7 is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as TROP2 receptors, and delivers SN-38 to kill them.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial requires that you do not use other anti-cancer or investigational drugs while participating. If you are on high-dose corticosteroids or UGT1A1 inhibitors/inducers, you must stop them at least 2 weeks before starting the trial. Other medications are not specifically mentioned, so it's best to discuss with the trial team.

Is Sacituzumab Govitecan safe for humans?

Sacituzumab Govitecan has been tested in humans with various advanced cancers, and common side effects include nausea, low white blood cell count (neutropenia), diarrhea, tiredness, low red blood cell count (anemia), vomiting, hair loss, constipation, rash, decreased appetite, and abdominal pain. These side effects were observed in more than 25% of patients in clinical trials.

How is the drug Sacituzumab Govitecan unique for treating bile duct cancer?

Sacituzumab Govitecan is unique because it is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that specifically targets Trop-2, a protein found on many cancer cells, to deliver SN-38, a powerful chemotherapy agent, directly to the tumor. This targeted approach may offer a new option for bile duct cancer, which lacks many standard treatments.

FDA Approval Summary: Accelerated Approval of Sacituzumab Govitecan-hziy for Third-line Treatment of Metastatic Triple-negative Breast Cancer. [2022]On April 22, 2020, the FDA granted accelerated approval to sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (TRODELVY; Immunomedics, Inc.) for the treatment of patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) who have received at least two prior therapies for metastatic disease. Approval was based on data from the IMMU-132-01 trial, a single-arm, multicohort, multicenter, phase I/II trial of sacituzumab govitecan. The assessment of efficacy was based on 108 patients with mTNBC who had previously received at least two prior lines of therapy in the metastatic setting and who received sacituzumab govitecan 10 mg/kg i.v. The assessment of safety was based on 408 patients with advanced solid tumors who had received sacituzumab govitecan at doses up to 10 mg/kg i.v. The primary efficacy endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DoR) was a key secondary endpoint. The ORR was 33.3% [36/108; 95% confidence interval (CI), 24.6-43.1], and median DoR among responders was 7.7 months (95% CI, 4.9-10.8). The most common adverse reactions occurring in β‰₯25% of patients were nausea, neutropenia, diarrhea, fatigue, anemia, vomiting, alopecia, constipation, rash, decreased appetite, and abdominal pain.

[2021]To review the pharmacology, efficacy, and safety of sacituzumab govitecan (-hziy; IMMU-132, Trodelvy) for patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) who have received at least 2 prior therapies for metastatic disease.
Sacituzumab Govitecan for Treatment of Refractory Triple-Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer. [2021]Sacituzumab govitecan was initially approved in April 2020 under accelerated approval for the treatment of patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer who received at least two prior therapies for metastatic disease. A confirmatory phase III trial evaluating sacituzumab govitecan vs. chemotherapy of the provider's choice was published in April 2021. Based on this trial, the FDA granted sacituzumab govitecan full regulatory approval. This antibody-drug conjugate is composed of a monoclonal antibody targeted at Trop-2 and contains the active metabolite of irinotecan, SN-38, as a cytotoxic side moiety. In a phase III clinical trial, sacituzumab govitecan demonstrated a median progression-free survival of 5.7 months vs. 1.7 months with chemotherapy. It is now an additional option for patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer who received at least two prior therapies for metastatic disease.
First-in-Human Trial of a Novel Anti-Trop-2 Antibody-SN-38 Conjugate, Sacituzumab Govitecan, for the Treatment of Diverse Metastatic Solid Tumors. [2022]Sacituzumab govitecan (IMMU-132) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting Trop-2, a surface glycoprotein expressed on many epithelial tumors, for delivery of SN-38, the active metabolite of irinotecan. This phase I trial evaluated this ADC as a potential therapeutic for pretreated patients with a variety of metastatic solid cancers.

Sacituzumab Govitecan: First Approval. [2021]Sacituzumab govitecan (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy; Trodelvyβ„’) is a Trop-2-directed antibody conjugated to a topoisomerase I inhibitor (SN-38) that is being developed by Immunomedics for the treatment of solid tumours, including breast cancer. In April 2020, sacituzumab govitecan received accelerated approval in the USA for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) who have received at least two prior therapies for metastatic disease. Sacituzumab govitecan is undergoing phase III development for breast cancer in the USA and EU, and phase II development for urothelial cancer. It is also being explored for brain metastases, glioblastoma, endometrial cancer and prostate cancer. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of sacituzumab govitecan leading to this first approval for mTNBC.
