We present a case report of a patient with metastatic small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast (SCNCB), a high-grade neuroendocrine triple-negative breast cancer, who achieved a complete response after two cycles of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (SG) (Trodelvy) as third-line systemic therapy. She originally presented with estrogen receptor-positive disease, and we were able to clearly demonstrate transformation into triple-negative SCNCB via serial tissue biopsies. This is the first reported case of SG for SCNCB, and it shows an outstanding response in a patient who had undergone prior systemic therapies. Clinical trials are needed to address the potential role of TROP2 inhibition and the use of SG as a therapy for SCNCB.

Sacituzumab govitecan (SG), a Trop-2-directed antibody-drug conjugate, is currently approved to treat metastatic triple-negative breast cancer and HR+/HER2- breast cancer, and is under clinical investigation for a range of other tumor types. This review describes its mode of action, development, and clinical outcomes. SG is composed of SN-38 (a topoisomerase I inhibitor derived from irinotecan) covalently linked to an anti-Trop-2 monoclonal antibody (sacituzumab; hRS7) via a hydrolysable CL2A linker.

Exploiting synthetic lethality in PDAC with antibody drug conjugates and ATR inhibition.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a highly lethal malignancy with poor prognosis. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and their combinations with various anti-tumor drugs have made great progress. Camptothecin, and its derivatives (Dxd, SN-38 or exatecan) targeted TOP1 are effective payloads due to their potent anti-tumor activity.

Introduction: The approval of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies for the treatment of B cell malignancies has fueled the development of numerous cell therapies. However, these cell therapies are complex and costly, and unlike in hematological malignancies, outcomes with most T cell therapies in solid tumors have been disappointing. Here, we present a novel approach to directly program myeloid cells by administering novel TROP2 CAR mRNA encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs).

FL118, a camptothecin derivative with dual mechanisms of action through topoisomerase I inhibition and proteasome-mediated degradation of anti-apoptotic proteins exhibits potent anti-tumor activity while remaining resistant to drug efflux transporters. This work describes the targeted delivery of FL118 to tumors via antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) using the pH-sensitive CL2A linker. ADCs targeting Trop2, HER2, and EGFR exhibited potent in vitro cytotoxicity, with IC values as low as 0.
