ABSTRACT: Purpose
Sacituzumab govitecan (IMMU-132) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting Trop-2, a surface glycoprotein expressed on many epithelial tumors, for delivery of SN-38, the active metabolite of irinotecan. This phase I trial evaluated this ADC as a potential therapeutic for pretreated patients with a variety of metastatic solid cancers.Experimental design
Sacituzumab govitecan was administered on days 1 and 8 of 21-day cycles, with cycles repeated until dose-limiting toxicity or progression. Dose escalation followed a standard 3 + 3 scheme with 4 planned dose levels and dose delay or reduction allowed.Results
Twenty-five patients (52-60 years old, 3 median prior chemotherapy regimens) were treated at dose levels of 8 (n = 7), 10 (n = 6), 12 (n = 9), and 18
