Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Cohort I: 3-year event-free survival (EFS)
EFS 3 years

EFS after 36 months defined as time from registration to any invasive breast cancer event, death, or secondary malignancy (same definition as iDFS) according to STEEP 2.0 criteria \[103\]

Cohort II: superiority of neoadjuvant treatment with SG+PEM vs. SoC with regards to event-free survival (EFS)
EFS 3 years

EFS after 36 months defined as time from registration to any invasive breast cancer event, death, or secondary malignancy or local progress precluding surgery in neoadjuvant treated patients

Cohort II: superiority of neoadjuvant treatment with SG+PEM vs. SoC with regards to pathological complete response (pCR) rates
EFS 3 years

pCR defined as no invasive disease in breast and lymph nodes (ypT0/is, ypN0) in patients of both arms

Progression-Free Survival (PFS) by Independent Review Committee (IRC) Assessment in Brain Metastasis Negative (BM-ve) Population
From randomization until objective tumor progression or death (assessed every 6 weeks for 9 months and then every 9 weeks thereafter until the occurrence of progression of disease; maximum exposure: 29.6 months)

PFS was defined as the time from randomization until objective tumor progression by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 or death, whichever came first. The date of progression was date of the last observation or radiological assessment of target lesions that either showed a predefined increase (greater than or equal to \[≥\] 20%) in the sum of the target lesions or the appearance of new non-target lesions. PFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier estimate.

Altered Tumor Genes by PFS Duration on SG Post T-DXd
Up to an average of 6 months

Number and identification of altered/mutated genes in the tumors in the subgroup of patients with a longer PFS on SG post T-DXd compared to the tumors in the subgroup of patients with a shorter PFS on SG post T-DXd.

Overall response rate (ORR)
24 months

ORR will be assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who received at least one dose of SG and have achieved a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by the local investigator.

Incidence of Adverse Events, Graded According to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version (v) 5.0
through study completion; an average of 1 year.
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
3 years

Compare PFS of patients randomized to receive sacituzumab govitecan in combination with pembrolizumab (Arm A) versus those randomized to receive sacituzumab govitecan monotherapy (Arm B). Defined as the time from study randomization to disease progression, per RECIST 1.1 or medical judgment, the latter based on established clinical parameters, such as rising tumor markers and physical exam evidence of progression, i.e. worsening chest wall disease, or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first.

ArmTypeDescription
Cohort I (non-randomized)OTHERCohort I will include patients with clinical stage II disease at baseline who have a cCR after up to 12 weeks of NACT with CARBO/PAC and PEM. After surgery, patients with a pCR (ypT0/is, ypN0) will not receive further chemotherapy (CTx) but continue on SoC treatment according to current valid treatment guidelines for breast cancer at investigator´s discretion. Patients with residual disease should be considered for postoperative SoC treatment, which may include further CTx (e.g., AC/EC x 4, q2w or q3w or Capecitabine) plus PEM or Olaparib (in patients with gBRCA mutations) according to current valid treatment guidelines for breast cancer and per investigator´s discretion.
Cohort II (randomized) - Sacituzumab govitecan + pembrolizumab (SG+PEM)EXPERIMENTALneoadjuvant SG+PEM (4 cycles), followed by surgery and pCR-dependent post-neoadjuvant SoC treatment according to current valid treatment guidelines for breast cancer and per investigator´s discretion.
Cohort II (randomized) - Standard-of-care chemotherapy + pembrolizumab (SoC CTx+PEM)ACTIVE_COMPARATORSoC, e.g., AC x 4 + PEM or EC x 4 + PEM, followed by surgery and pCR-dependent post-neoadjuvant SoC treatment, e.g., AC x 4 \* PEM or EC x 4 + PEM, or Capecitabine + PEM or Olaparib (in patients with gBRCA mutations), according to current valid treatment guidelines for breast cancer and per investigator´s discretion.
Sacituzumab GovitecanEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive sacituzumab govitecan on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day treatment cycle for up to 29.6 months. Participants will continue treatment until progression of disease requiring treatment discontinuation or occurrence of unacceptable adverse events (AEs).
Treatment of Physician's Choice (TPC)ACTIVE_COMPARATORParticipants will receive TPC (ie, eribulin, capecitabine, gemcitabine, or vinorelbine), administered as a single-agent regimen that is selected by the investigator before participant randomization. Participants will continue treatment until progression of disease requiring treatment discontinuation or occurrence of unacceptable AEs.
Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG) InfusionEXPERIMENTALSG will be administered on Days 1 and 8 of continuous 21-day cycles at 10 mg/kg via intravenous (IV) infusion until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Sacituzumab Govitecan and PembrolizumabEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive drug on Days 1 and 8 of Cycles 1-4, Participants will receive sacituzumab govitecan by vein. Participants will receive drug on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle, Participants will receive pembrolizumab by vein.
Sacituzumab Govitecan + PembrolizumabEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive Sacituzumab Govitecan + Pembrolizumab at a pre-determined dose during a 21 day cycle. Sacituzumab Govitecan will be given on days 1 and 8 of the 21 day cycle Pembrolizumab will be given on day 1 of the 21 day cycle.
RetreatmentEXPERIMENTALParticipants randomized to the combination arm (Sacituzumab Govitecan + Pembrolizumab) who stop with CR after at least 24 weeks of treatment may be eligible for additional pembrolizumab and/or sacituzumab govitecan therapy if they progress after stopping study treatment. This is termed the Second Course Phase and is only available if the study remains open and the subject meets conditions. .
Interventions
NameTypeDescription
Sacituzumab govitecanDRUGSG is administered at 10 mg/kg as an intravenous (i.v.) infusion on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle. The dose of SG will be calculated based on actual weight at randomization (using weight obtained either at enrolment or on Cycle 1 Day 1) and remains constant throughout the study, unless there is a \> 10% change in body weight from baseline. Modifications to the study drug doses administered should be made for a \> 10% change in body weight from baseline and according to local and regional prescribing standards. Dose modifications for changes in body weight \< 10% may be made according to local institutional guidelines. SG is administered via i.v. infusion as described below with additional information available in the current version of the SmPC.
Pembrolizumab 25 mg/1 ML Intravenous Solution [KEYTRUDA]DRUGPembrolizumab 200 mg will be administered as a 30-minute i.v. infusion every 3 weeks.
SoC ChemotherapyDRUGStandard of care chemotherapy as per common treatment guidelines and recommendations
EribulinDRUGAdministered IV over 2 to 5 minutes at a dose 1.4 mg/m\^2 at North American sites and 1.23 mg/m\^2 at European sites on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle for up to 15.3 months. Lower doses will be administered on the same schedule to participants with moderate hepatic impairment (ie, Child-Pugh B; 0.7 mg/m\^2 and 0.67 mg/m\^2 for North American and European sites, respectively).
CapecitabineDRUG1000 to 1250 mg/m\^2 will be administered in a 21-day cycle, with capecitabine administered orally twice daily for 2 weeks followed by 1-week rest period for up to 10.6 months.
