Purpose: Patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) have poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Sacituzumab govitecan (SG), a Trop-2-directed antibody-drug conjugate, is approved for patients with mTNBC who have received ≥ 2 systemic therapies (≥ 1 in the metastatic setting) based on the ASCENT study (NCT02574455). The current study describes real-world SG use and outcomes in patients with mTNBC in the United States.

Article Synopsis
  • Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) makes up 12%-17% of breast cancers and is known for its aggressive nature.
  • Increased expression of IMP3, which is linked to cell growth and migration, correlates with larger tumor size, higher clinical stages, and shorter survival rates in TNBC patients.
  • The study suggests that IMP3 could serve as a negative prognostic factor, indicating that targeting IMP3 might lead to new immunological treatments for TNBC.
