About this study

Official title: Whole Genome and Transcriptome Tumor Sequencing to Identify Predictors of Sensitivity to Sequential Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG) Following Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) Treatment in ER+/HER-2 Low Metastatic Breast Cancer

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.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective single-centre Canadian study (BC Cancer Vancouver) enrolling ER+/HER2 low MBC with disease progression after at least one line of endocrine therapy in combination with a CDK 4/6 inhibitor and at least one line of chemotherapy which must include T-DXd as the immediate prior line of treatment in the advanced stage setting.

Patients will receive SG at an initial dose of 10 mg per kilogram intravenously on day 1 and 8 of 21 day cycles. Treatment will continue until evidence of progressive disease, significant toxicity in which patient and or physician wishes to discontinue treatment and/or patient or physician desire to discontinue treatment for any reason.

Tumor specimens will collected from biopsies between the time of informed consent and prior to first administration of SG. The pathology will be reviewed and nucleic acids extracted. Constitutional DNA representing normal cells will be extracted from peripheral blood. PCR-free DNA libraries and either strand-specific or ribo-depleted RNA libraries will be constructed. Following which whole genome sequencing and transcriptome sequencing will be performed.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 19 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jun 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Stephen Chia, MD (604-877-6000 ext. 2785, schia@bccancer.bc.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Altered Tumor Genes by PFS Duration on SG Post T-DXd (time frame: Up to an average of 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06665178, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jun 2025.
