Summary
"This trial is comparing a drug called sacituzumab tirumotecan alone and in combination with pembrolizumab to the standard treatment for patients with hormone receptor positive/human epider
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with HR+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer that's worsened after hormone therapy, including one with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. They should be able to undergo chemotherapy, have good physical function (ECOG 0-1), and controlled HIV if positive. Hepatitis B patients can join if treated for 4 weeks and virus undetectable; same for Hepatitis C with no detectable virus.
What is being tested?
The study tests Sacituzumab Tirumotecan alone and combined with Pembrolizumab against doctors' choice of treatment in participants. It aims to see which option better stops the cancer from progressing using standard criteria assessed by independent reviewers who don't know which treatment was given.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to infusion, fatigue, nausea, low blood cell counts increasing infection risk or bleeding tendency, liver toxicity, hair loss from Paclitaxel or Nab-paclitaxel, skin reactions from Capecitabine and heart issues from Liposomal doxorubicin.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm B:Pembrolizumab + Sacituzumab tirumotecanExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants receive 4 mg/kg of sacituzumab tirumotecan Q2W via IV infusion until progressive disease or discontinuation PLUS 400 mg of pembrolizumab once every 6 weeks (Q6W) via IV infusion for up to 18 administrations (up to \~2 years).
Group II: Arm A: Sacituzumab tirumotecanExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants receive 4 mg/kg of sacituzumab tirumotecan once every 2 weeks (Q2W) via intravenous (IV) infusion until progressive disease or discontinuation.
Group III: Arm C: Treatment of Physician's Choice (TPC)Active Control4 Interventions
At the physician's discretion, participants receive chemotherapy of 80 mg/m\^2 of paclitaxel once every week (Q1W) via IV infusion OR 90 mg/m\^2 of paclitaxel once every 4 weeks (Q4W) via IV infusion OR 100 mg/m\^2 of nab-paclitaxel Q4W via IV infusion OR 1000 mg/m\^2 of capecitabine every 3 weeks (Q3W) orally OR 50 mg/m\^2 of liposomal doxorubicin once every 4 weeks (Q4W) via IV infusion, until progressive disease or discontinuation.
