What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

The goals of this clinical study are to learn more about the safety and dosing of the study drug, sacituzumab govitecan-hziy, in participants with solid tumors and moderate liver problems.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial does not specify if you must stop taking your current medications, but you cannot have had certain cancer treatments recently or use strong inhibitors or inducers of UGT1A1. It's best to discuss your current medications with the study team.

Is Sacituzumab Govitecan safe for humans?

Sacituzumab Govitecan has been shown to have a well-defined and manageable safety profile in clinical trials for various cancers, including breast cancer. While there is limited information on managing side effects, early and proactive management can help maintain patient quality of life during treatment. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

How is the drug Sacituzumab Govitecan unique for treating cancer?

Sacituzumab Govitecan is unique because it is an antibody-drug conjugate that specifically targets Trop-2, a protein found on many cancer cells, and delivers SN-38, a powerful chemotherapy agent, directly to the tumor, allowing for higher concentrations of the drug at the cancer site with potentially fewer side effects. ^{1 2 3 5 6}

What data supports the effectiveness of the drug Sacituzumab Govitecan-hziy?

Sacituzumab Govitecan-hziy has shown effectiveness in treating advanced triple-negative breast cancer, helping to prolong the time patients live without the disease getting worse. It is well tolerated and has fewer side effects compared to similar treatments. ^{1 2 5 6 7}

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors and moderate liver impairment. They should have a certain level of liver function, no severe active infections, and not be on strong inhibitors or inducers of UGT1A1. Participants must not have had recent cancer treatments that they haven't recovered from, nor can they have brain metastases unless stable.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Sacituzumab Govitecan-hziy

Trial Overview The study tests the safety and appropriate dosing of Sacituzumab Govitecan-hziy in patients with various solid tumors who also suffer from moderate liver problems. It aims to understand how these patients tolerate the drug and how it affects their disease.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumor and Normal Liver function Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumor and normal hepatic function will receive sacituzumab govitecan-hziy 10 mg/kg on Days 1 and 8. At the completion of study treatment, participants who are deriving benefit from sacituzumab govitecan-hziy may continue to receive treatment in a Gilead sponsored rollover study (IMMU-132-14; NCT04319198).

Group II: Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumor and Moderate Liver Impairment Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Participants with advanced solid tumor and moderate hepatic impairment will receive an escalating dose of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy on Days 1 and 8. The dose-escalation plan will start at 5 mg/kg and escalate to 7.5 mg/kg, and finally 10 mg/kg, if deemed to be safe. At the completion of study treatment, participants who are deriving benefit from sacituzumab govitecan-hziy may continue to receive treatment in a Gilead sponsored rollover study (IMMU-132-14; NCT04319198).

Published Research Related to This Trial

In a phase 1/2 trial involving 108 patients with heavily pretreated metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, sacituzumab govitecan-hziy demonstrated a response rate of 33.3%, with a median duration of response of 7.7 months, indicating its efficacy in this challenging patient population.

The treatment was associated with significant myelotoxic effects, including anemia and neutropenia, but overall survival was promising at a median of 13.0 months, highlighting the need for careful monitoring of side effects.

Sacituzumab govitecan (IMMU-132) demonstrated a predictable pharmacokinetic profile and manageable toxicity in patients with advanced epithelial cancers, with doses of 8 mg/kg (n=81) and 10 mg/kg (n=97) showing safety and efficacy.

The treatment resulted in objective responses in various cancer types, particularly metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, supporting the use of the 10 mg/kg dose for future clinical development.
