Sacituzumab Govitecan for Endometrial Cancer
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
This is a non-randomized Phase 2 study of sacituzumab govitecan (IMMU-132) in subjects with persistent or recurrent endometrial carcinoma.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial protocol does not specify if you must stop taking your current medications. However, you need to be at least 2 weeks beyond any prior treatments like chemotherapy, investigational drugs, or high-dose corticosteroids before starting the trial.
What data supports the effectiveness of the drug Sacituzumab Govitecan for endometrial cancer?
Sacituzumab Govitecan has shown promising results in laboratory studies for uterine serous carcinoma, a type of endometrial cancer, by targeting a specific protein on cancer cells to deliver a cancer-fighting substance. Additionally, it has been effective in treating other cancers like triple-negative breast cancer, which suggests potential benefits for endometrial cancer as well.12345
What safety data exists for Sacituzumab Govitecan in humans?
What makes the drug Sacituzumab Govitecan unique for treating endometrial cancer?
Sacituzumab Govitecan is unique because it is an antibody-drug conjugate that specifically targets the Trop-2 protein, which is often overexpressed in aggressive forms of endometrial cancer, to deliver a potent chemotherapy agent directly to cancer cells, potentially improving treatment effectiveness.34569
