Clinical trials are an important way to improve treatment for people with cancer. While most are continuing during the COVID-19 pandemic, the period of time that clinical trials are available and recruiting may change quickly. If you would like to get involved in a clinical trial, speak to your treatment team or the health service where the clinical trial is being undertaken, to confirm it is open and appropriate for you. For cancer information and support, call Cancer Council's experienced cancer nurses on 13 11 20 Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm.

Summary

This trial is for people with locally advanced, inoperable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer who have not received pervious treatment for their advanced cancer, and whose cancer does not express programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), or people previously treated with anti-programmed cell death (ligand or protein) 1 (Anti-PD-(L)1) Agents in the early setting whose cancers do express PD-L1. Eligible participants will be randomly allocated to either the Experimental Arm or the Active Comparator Arm. In the Experimental Arm, participants will receive Sacituzumab Govitecan-hziy (10mg/mg) intravenously on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle. In the Active Comparator Arm, participants will treatment of the physician's choice which will be determined prior to randomisation from 1 of the 3 following regiments: paclitaxel (90mg/m^2 on Days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle), nab-paclitaxel (100mg/m^2 on Days 1, 8 and 15 of a 28-day cycle), or gemcitabine (1000mg/m^2) + carboplatin (area under the curve (AUC) 2) on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle.
