At this year’s ASCO congress, news that Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan) failed to have a significant impact on overall survival (OS) in this form of breast cancer weighed heavily on Gilead, as the Trop2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) is central to its plans to grow in oncology.
The trial evaluated Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan) in patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer who received multiple lines of prior treatment, and showed that the drug extended progression-free survival to 5.5 At ASCO the numbers have been revealed, and the picture isn’t much clearer.
The Swiss pharma said in its update that the acelERA trial comparing giredestrant to physician’s choice of endocrine therapy for previously-treated hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer did not meet its primary endpoint of improving progression-free survival (PFS).

Around half of all patients with MIBC are unable to be treated with cisplatin, a strategy which has been shown to improve the chances of survival, and the results suggest Padcev – an anti-nectin-4 antibody-drug conjugate – could offer an alternative.
All current COVID-19 vaccines and antibody-based therapeutics were designed to disrupt this route into cells, which requires a receptor called ACE2. The ability to use an alternative entry pathway opens up the possibility of evading COVID-19 antibodies or vaccines, but the researchers did not find evidence of such evasion.

The vast majority of current laboratory testing for COVID-19 is based either on detection of viral antigens, nucleic acids or on detection of virus-specific antibodies in the sera of patients. Detection of virus-specific antibodies allows for diagnosis of recent symptomatic or even asymptomatic infections.
Patients treated with a short course of five cycles of tremelimumab, an anti-CTLA4 antibody, over 16 weeks in addition to Imfinzi and chemotherapy experienced a 23% reduction in the risk of death versus a range of chemotherapy options (based on a hazard ratio [HR] of 0.77; 95% CI 0.65-0.92; 0.92; p=0.00304).
