RECRUITING

A Clinical Study of Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (Sac-TMT, MK-2870) in People With Breast Cancer (MK-2870-032)

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat types of breast cancer that are both: * High-risk, which means the cancer may have a higher chance of getting worse or coming back after treatment * Early-stage, which means the cancer is in the breast or the lymph nodes around the breast The 2 types of breast cancer in this study are triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and hormone receptor (HR)-low positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) negative breast cancer. These cancers have zero or a low amount of a protein called HER2 and other proteins that attach to the hormones estrogen or progesterone. Sacituzumab tirumotecan (also known as sac-TMT or MK-2870), the study medicine, is a type of targeted therapy. A targeted therapy is a treatment that works to control how specific types of cancer cells grow and spread. The main goals of this study are to learn if people who receive sac-TMT, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy: * Have fewer cancer cells found in the tumors and lymph nodes removed during surgery compared to those who receive only pembrolizumab and chemotherapy * Live longer without the cancer growing, spreading, or coming back compared to people who receive only pembrolizumab with chemotherapy

Official Title

A Phase 3, Randomized, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Sac-TMT (Sacituzumab Tirumotecan, MK-2870) Followed by Carboplatin/Paclitaxel vs Chemotherapy, Both in Combination With Pembrolizumab as Neoadjuvant Therapy for High-Risk, Early-Stage, Triple-Negative Breast Cancer or Hormone Receptor-low Positive/Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-2 Negative Breast Cancer

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Has previously untreated high-risk, early-stage, non-metastatic (M0) breast cancer (BC), defined as any of the following combined primary tumor (T) and regional lymph node (N) staging per AJCC 8th edition criteria as assessed by the investigator based on radiological and/or clinical assessment:
  2. * cT1c, N1-N2
  3. * cT2, N0-N2
  4. * cT3, N0-N2
  5. * cT4a-d, N0-N2
  6. * The participant must have a centrally confirmed diagnosis of BC that is triple-negative or HR-low+/HER2- (defined as estrogen receptor (ER)-low+ expression in 1% to 10% cells and HER2-), as by the most recent American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines.
  7. * Provides a core needle biopsy from the primary breast tumor at screening to the central laboratory.
  8. * Has Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 performed within 28 days before treatment randomization.
  9. * Demonstrates adequate organ function.
  1. * Metastatic (Stage IV) breast cancer or clinical node stage 3 (cN3) nodal involvement
  2. * Has received any prior treatment, including radiation, systemic therapy,and/or definitive surgery for currently diagnosed breast cancer
  3. * Has undergone excisional biopsy of the primary tumor, axillary lymph node dissection, and/or axillary sentinel lymph node biopsy prior to study treatment.
  4. * Received prior systemic anticancer therapy including investigational agents within 4 weeks before randomization.
  5. * Received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent, or with an agent directed to another stimulatory or coinhibitory T-cell receptor (eg, CTLA-4, OX- 40, CD137).
  6. * Received prior treatment with a TROP2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC).
  7. * Received prior treatment with a topoisomerase I inhibitor-containing ADC.
  8. * Received a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days before the first dose of study intervention.
  9. * Known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 5 years.
  10. * Uncontrolled systemic disease.
  11. * History of (noninfectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that required steroids or has current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease.
