About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of First-Line Sacituzumab Govitecan in Advanced Untreated Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Patients.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the drug Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) reduces disease progression when used as a first-line treatment in adults with advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who have not received prior treatments in the advanced setting. It will also look at whether the effectiveness of the drug differs between TNBC adults with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) subtypes and those with non-HRD subtypes. The main questions this study aims to answer are:

  • Will patients with advanced TNBC who haven't received prior treatment in the advanced setting respond better (i.e., slowed disease progression) when given SG as a first-line treatment?
  • Does the overall response rate of SG differ between HRD vs non-HRD advanced TNBC patients without prior treatment in the advanced setting?
Read more

Participants will:

  • Be given drug SG on days 1 and 8 of 21-day cycle(s)
  • Will continue (repeat) 21-day cycles until disease progression or voluntary withdrawal
  • Visit the clinic for treatments on days 1 and 8
  • Have long-term follow-up every 12 weeks via phone or in-clinic
Read the detailed description

This study is a non-randomized phase II single-arm trial of first-line sacituzumab govitecan (SG) in participants with advanced triple-negative breast cancer who have not received prior treatment in the advanced setting. It is designed to assess the overall response rate (ORR) of SG as well as compare the ORR of SG between homologous recombination-deficient (HRD) vs non-HRD in advanced TNBC patients, stratified by molecular subtypes using whole-genome and transcriptome analysis (WGTA). The 21-day cycle(s) treatment duration allows us to gather the necessary data to meet our primary and secondary objectives and exploratory endpoints. This study will be conducted in compliance with the protocol, the International Council of Harmonisation Good Clinical Practice guidelines, and every applicable regulatory requirement(s). This includes permitting study-related monitoring, audits, research ethics board review, and regulatory inspections, providing direct access to source data and documents.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG) in people with Advanced Triple Negative Breast Cancer and Breast Cancer Metastatic, run by Nathalie Levasseur at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 21 inclusion and 23 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 6 Oct 2026. 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 Dr. Nathalie LeVasseur, MD (604-877-6000 ext. 672207, nathalie.levasseur@bccancer.bc.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Response Rate (ORR) of SG in advanced TNBC (time frame: Up to an average of 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT07299409, which also lists 4 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 6 Oct 2026.
