flag A new drug, sacituzumab, improved survival and quality of life for advanced triple-negative breast cancer patients in a major trial.

flag A phase 3 trial found sacituzumab govitecan significantly improved progression-free survival in first-line treatment for advanced triple-negative breast cancer, with a median of 9.7 months versus 6.9 months for chemotherapy. flag Patients also experienced better quality of life, maintaining physical function longer despite higher gastrointestinal side effects. flag While overall survival data were immature due to crossover, time to second progression was longer with sacituzumab. flag In a separate trial for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, sacituzumab did not meet its primary PFS endpoint but showed a trend toward improved survival and favorable investigator-assessed outcomes.
