Phase 2

This study tests a drug called sacituzumab govitecan for patients with HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. HER2-negative means the cancer does not have a protein called HER2 on its surface. Sacituzumab govitecan is a special medicine that combines a monoclonal antibody (sacituzumab) with a chemotherapy drug (govitecan). It targets cancer cells by attaching to Trop-2 receptors on their surface to deliver chemotherapy directly to them.

Patients in this study will receive the medication through an intravenous (IV) drip for 1-3 hours on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle, continuing for up to 2 years unless the disease worsens or side effects become too severe. After finishing the study treatment, patients will have follow-up visits every 3 months for the first year and every 6 months for the second year.

  • Study lasts up to 2 years, with regular follow-ups.
  • Patients receive treatment via IV on a schedule.
  • Potential risks include side effects from the medication.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
