Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug to see if it can shrink brain tumors before surgery. The drug will be given before surgery, and then during surgery, doctors will take out some of the tumor to test.

Who is the study for?
Adults with breast cancer that has spread to the brain or recurrent glioblastoma who are planning surgery as part of their care. They must be in fairly good health, have a life expectancy of at least 3 months, and agree to use effective contraception. Not eligible if they need emergency surgery, can't undergo MRI scans, take certain drugs like warfarin without switching, or have had specific treatments recently.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Sacituzumab Govitecan given before surgery for brain tumors from breast cancer or glioblastoma. It's a Phase 0 study where patients receive the drug preoperatively and then have tissue samples collected during their planned craniotomy.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed here, side effects may include typical reactions to anticancer medications such as nausea, fatigue, hair loss, blood cell count changes leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems. Specific side effects related to Sacituzumab Govitecan will be monitored.
