About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the drug Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) reduces disease progression when used as a first-line treatment in adults with advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who have not received prior treatments in the advanced setting. It will also look at whether the effectiveness of the drug differs between TNBC adults with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) subtypes and those with non-HRD subtypes. The main questions this study aims to answer are:
* Will patients with advanced TNBC who haven't received prior treatment in the advanced setting respond better (i.e., slowed disease progression) when given SG as a first-line treatment? * Does the overall response rate of SG differ between HRD vs non-HRD advanced TNBC patients without prior treatment in the advanced setting?
Participants will:
* Be given drug SG on days 1 and 8 of 21-day cycle(s) * Will continue (repeat) 21-day cycles until disease progression or voluntary withdrawal * Visit the clinic for treatments on days 1 and 8 * Have long-term follow-up every 12 weeks via phone or in-clinic

Treatments tested in this trial
Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG)
DrugAdminister Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG) at 10 mg/kg as an intravenous (IV) infusion on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle. SG should not be administered as an IV push or bolus.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Overall Response Rate (ORR) of SG in advanced TNBC
To evaluate the overall response rate (ORR) of Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) in advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients without prior treatment in the advance setting, stratified by molecular subtypes using whole-genome and transcriptome analysis (WGTA).
ORR of SG between HRD vs non-HRD in advanced TNBC
2\. To compare the ORR of SG between homologous recombination-deficient (HRD) vs non-HRD advanced TNBC patients without prior treatment in the advance setting, utilizing WGTA.
Secondary outcomes
Evaluate clinical benefit rate (CBR) of SG in advanced TNBC
To evaluate the clinical benefit rate (CBR) of SG in advanced TNBC, stratified by molecular subtypes identified through WGTA.
Assess progression-free survival (PFS) and overall-survival (OS) in advanced TNBC treated with SG
To assess progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in advanced TNBC patients receiving SG, stratified by molecular subtypes using WGTA.
Number of advanced TNBC participants receiving SG in first-line setting with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0
To assess the safety and toxicity profile in advanced TNBC participants receiving SG in the first-line setting per the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 for grade 2-4 toxicities.
Changes in health-related quality of life when treated with SG
To assess changes in health-related quality of life using EORTC QLQ-CL30 version 3.0 questionnaire in advanced TNBC patients undergoing treatment with SG.
