Summary
This trial tests a combination of two drugs for patients with advanced HER2-negative breast cancer. One drug delivers chemotherapy directly to the cancer cells, and the other stops the cancer cells from growing.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with HER2-negative breast cancer that's either locally advanced or has spread (metastatic). They should have tried at least one chemotherapy and, if applicable, hormonal therapy. Participants need to be able to take oral medication, not have uncontrolled diabetes, no recent major surgery or active severe infections, and can't be pregnant or breastfeeding. Those with certain heart conditions or a history of severe allergic reactions are also excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests the combination of two drugs: Alpelisib and Sacituzumab Govitecan in treating metastatic or locally recurrent HER2-negative breast cancer. It aims to determine how safe this combination is and how effective it is in managing the disease.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include digestive issues like nausea and diarrhea, blood sugar changes due to Alpelisib which targets specific proteins in cancer cells; as well as possible hair loss (alopecia), fatigue, lowered immune response from Sacituzumab Govitecan which delivers a toxic payload directly into cancer cells.

Side Effect Profile
Prior Approvals
Other Research
Sacituzumab Govitecan is an antibody-drug conjugate that targets Trop-2, delivering a cytotoxic agent directly to breast cancer cells, thereby minimizing damage to healthy cells. Alpelisib is a PI3K inhibitor that targets the PI3K pathway, which is often mutated in breast cancer, inhibiting cancer cell growth and survival.
These targeted therapies are important for breast cancer patients as they offer more personalized treatment options, potentially leading to better outcomes and fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy.
