What this Trial Is About
Advanced hormone positive (HR+), HER2 negative breast cancer continues to pose a challenge when patients have progressed on CDK4/6 inhibitor and endocrine therapy leaving limited treatment options. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) such as sacituzumab govitecan (SG) and trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) have changed practice due to significant improvement in progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) seen in this disease setting. There is a genuine interest to use SG sequentially after T-DXd, however there is no current prospectively curated evidence to support this strategy. Though the epitope is different, the payload are both topoisomerase I inhibitors. Thus, evidence is needed of both clinical efficacy and identification of mechanisms of sensitivity and resistance to sequential ADCs in HER-2 low MBC. It is hypothesized that performing whole genome and whole transcriptome sequencing in fresh tumour biopsies post progression of T-DXd and prior to SG in ER+/HER2 low metastatic breast cancer (MBC) will provide mechanistic insights into identifying biomarkers, and thus patients, sensitive to sequential SG.

- Prior endocrine therapy with CDK4/6 inhibitor in metastatic setting
- Prior chemotherapy including trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) as the immediate prior line before study enrollment
- Tumor accessible for safe image-guided biopsies for whole genome and transcriptome sequencing
- Negative serum pregnancy test within 14 days prior to randomization for pre-menopausal patients and agreement to use medically approved contraception during the study and 12 weeks after last SG dose
