Real-world use patterns, effectiveness, and tolerability of sacituzumab govitecan for second-line and later-line treatment of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer in the United States

This retrospective, observational study included adult patients with mTNBC from the ConcertAI Patient360™ database who received SG in the second line (2L) and later from April 2020 to May 2022. SG use patterns, effectiveness, and tolerability are described.

This analysis included 230 patients (median age 60 years, 26% Black, 17% with ECOG performance status ≥ 2, 66% in community settings; median of 2 prior lines of treatment in the metastatic setting); median follow-up was 7.2 months. Median (95% CI) real-world overall survival was 10.0 (8.3–11.1) months for all patients and 13.9 (9.8-not estimable) months in the 2L subgroup (n = 77). Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) was administered concomitantly with SG in 134 (58%) patients; 35 (15%) received G-CSF for the first time. Median (IQR) time from SG start to G-CSF use was 8.5 (8.0–29.0) days. Seventeen (7%) patients discontinued SG due to toxicity.

Using a real-world, ethnically diverse population of patients with mTNBC presenting with poor prognosis, these data reinforced the findings from ASCENT. In routine clinical practice, SG is an effective treatment in the 2L setting, consistent with treatment guidelines.
