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

Complete 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
Trial Phase: III
Investigator: Lynn Symonds

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
