• Introduction: Metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) is an aggressive form of breast cancer with limited treatment options involving cytotoxic chemotherapy agents. Targeted chemotherapy through the application of antibody-conjugated agents (ADCs) is a recent advance in cancer treatment. One such ADC is sacituzumab govitecan, which combines a humanized anti-trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (TROP-2) antibody with the topoisomerase I inhibitor SN-38. Sacituzumab govitecan was granted FDA approval on April 22nd, 2020 and is marketed under the brand name Trodelvy by Immunomedics, Inc.; it is currently indicated under accelerated approval for the treatment of mTNBC patients who have undergone two or more prior therapies. As a targeted cytotoxic agent, it is hoped to provide similar efficacy with reduced adverse effects. In November 2021 and July 20 2023, sacituzumab govitecan was also approved by the European Commission and Health Canada respectively.

Pharmaceutical Information

• Pharmacodynamics: Sacituzumab govitecan is a humanized monoclonal antibody/topoisomerase inhibitor conjugate designed to induce DNA damage-mediated cell death preferentially in TROP-2-expressing cancer cells. Detailed pharmacodynamic studies have not been performed for sacituzumab govitecan, although as a therapeutic protein, there is potential for immunogenicity. In addition, sacituzumab govitecan has the potential to cause severe hypersensitivity, nausea and vomiting, and embryo-fetal toxicity. Patients who are homozygous for the uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyl transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1)*28 allele are at increased risk for neutropenia.
• Targets: Tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 2 DNA topoisomerase 1 Far upstream element-binding protein 1
