Abstract GS3-06: Biomarker evaluation in the phase 3 ASCENT study of sacituzumab govitecan versus chemotherapy in patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer

Background: Trophoblast cell-surface antigen-2 (Trop-2) is highly expressed in many epithelial tumors, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) is an antibody-drug conjugate composed of an anti-Trop-2 antibody coupled to SN-38, an active metabolite of irinotecan, via a unique hydrolyzable linker that allows for SN-38 release intracellularly and in the tumor microenvironment (bystander effect). Preclinical studies have shown a great range of efficacy with SG in mice bearing tumors with low, moderate, and high Trop-2 expression levels. We report subgroup analyses by Trop-2 expression from ASCENT, a randomized, phase 3 confirmatory study of SG versus standard-of-care chemotherapy in patients with metastatic TNBC (mTNBC). Methods: In the global, multicenter, open-label, phase 3 ASCENT study (NCT02574455), 529 patients with mTNBC refractory to or relapsing after at least 2 prior chemotherapies were randomized 1:1 to receive SG (10 mg/kg intravenously on days 1 and 8 every 21 days) or single-agent treatment of physician’s choice (capecitabine, eribulin, vinorelbine, or gemcitabine) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) measured by central independent review per RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1, duration of response, overall survival (OS), and safety. Exploratory endpoints included biomarker assessments, including Trop-2 and BRCA1/2. Trop-2 expression was assessed using a validated immunohistochemistry assay. Results: Subgroup analyses by biomarker expression including Trop-2 and BRCA1/2 were performed, and outcomes by PFS, OS, ORR, and safety results will be reported. Conclusions: These analyses will provide further insights into the relationship of Trop-2 expression and the activity of SG in previously treated patients with mTNBC. Citation Format: Sara A.
