    • Medicine

Dr. Beverly Moy is back on the ASCO Guidelines Podcast to discuss the latest guideline rapid recommendation update regarding sacituzumab govitecan for patients with hormone receptor-positive HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer based on recent evidence published in TROPiCS-02. Dr. Moy reviews how this update intersects with the previous rapid recommendation update on trastuzumab deruxtecan and future areas of research that may impact further updates to this evidence-based guideline.

Brittany Harvey: Hello and welcome to the ASCO Guidelines podcast, one of ASCO's podcasts delivering timely information to keep you up to date on the latest changes, challenges, and advances in oncology. You can find all the shows, including this one at asco.org/podcasts.
 
My name is Brittany Harvey and today I'm interviewing Dr. Beverly Moy from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, lead author on ‘Chemotherapy and Targeted Therapy for Endocrine-Pretreated or Hormone Receptor–Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer: ASCO Guideline Rapid Recommendation Update’.
Thank you for being here, Dr. Moy.
Dr. Beverly Moy: Thank you for having me, Brittany. I'm glad to be here.
Brittany Harvey: Then first, I'd like to note that ASCO takes great care in the development of its guidelines and ensuring that the ASCO conflict of interest policy is followed for each guideline. The full conflict of interest information for this guideline panel is available in line with the publication of the guideline in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Dr. Moy, do you have any relevant disclosures that are directly related to this guideline topic?
Dr. Beverly Moy: I do not have any relevant disclosures.
Brittany Harvey: It's great to have you back on the podcast. Last we spoke, we were discussing the July 2022 rapid update of this guideline regarding the use of trastuzumab deruxtecan. What prompted the second rapid update to the guideline?
Dr. Beverly Moy: Thank you very much for that question, Brittany. The guidelines committee decided to issue another rapid guideline update because of the second interim analysis results of the TROPiCS-02 trial. This trial showed that sacituzumab govitecan had a significant improvement of over three months in overall survival compared to chemotherapy of physician’s choice in patients with pretreated metastatic hormone receptor positive and HER2/neu-negative breast cancer. So we felt that the strength of this data compelled the ASCO guideline ommittee to issue yet another update.
Brittany Harvey: Understood. So then, based off this strong data that you just mentioned from TROPiCS-02, what is the updated recommendation from the guideline expert panel?
Dr. Beverly Moy: So the guidelines expert panel really wanted to get this information out because we felt compelled that clinicians should be aware that sacituzumab govitecan is another treatment option for patients with endocrine-resistant metastatic hormone receptor- positive and HER2-negative breast cancer. So we felt that clinicians may use this drug in patients who have received at least two prior treatments in a metastatic setting.
Brittany Harvey: Okay, you just mentioned this is one of several treatment options. So as this new recommendation is implemented, what should clinicians know?
Dr. Beverly Moy: So, I think that clinicians really need to be aware that sacituzumab govitecan, which is a newer drug, as an antibody drug conjugate, it really does have a role in patients with metastatic hormone receptor positive, HER2/neu-negative endocrine-refractory breast cancer. I think clinicians have been used to this drug in the setting of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, but the results of theTROPiCS-02 trial would
