Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Up to approximately 38 months

PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first as per the Response Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. RECIST 1.1 is modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ. PFS as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) will be presented.

Overall Survival (OS)
Up to approximately 48 months

OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.

Secondary Endpoints

Objective Response (OR)
Up to approximately 38 months
Duration of Response (DOR)
Up to approximately 48 months

Frequently asked questions about Sacituzumab Govitecan

What is Sacituzumab Govitecan used for in non-small cell lung cancer?

Sacituzumab Govitecan is being studied for the treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) of 50% or higher. It is currently in Phase 3 clinical development for this indication, administered in combination with pembrolizumab.

What does Sacituzumab Govitecan target?

Sacituzumab Govitecan is a monoclonal antibody, classified as an antibody drug. In the ongoing clinical trial, it is being evaluated in combination with pembrolizumab for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has high PD-L1 expression.

Who is developing Sacituzumab Govitecan?

Sacituzumab Govitecan is being developed by Merck & Company, Inc., which is publicly traded under the ticker symbol MRK. The company is conducting a Phase 3 clinical trial of the drug for non-small cell lung cancer.

What phase is Sacituzumab Govitecan in?

Sacituzumab Govitecan is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is being studied as an investigational therapy for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with high PD-L1 expression, and it has not yet been approved for this indication.

What clinical trials is Sacituzumab Govitecan in?

Sacituzumab Govitecan is being evaluated in the Phase 3 clinical trial NCT05609968. This study compares pembrolizumab monotherapy versus sacituzumab govitecan in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and a PD-L1 TPS of 50% or higher.

Is Sacituzumab Govitecan the same as pembrolizumab?

No, Sacituzumab Govitecan is not the same as pembrolizumab. In the Phase 3 trial NCT05609968, sacituzumab govitecan is being tested in combination with pembrolizumab, and the study compares this combination against pembrolizumab alone in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
