NCT ID NCT07178730

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether a combination of sacituzumab govitecan (Trodelvy) and pembrolizumab (Keytruda) works better than standard chemotherapy before surgery for stage II-III triple-negative breast cancer. About 765 participants will be enrolled. The study aims to improve event-free survival and complete response rates.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

sacituzumab govitecan (Trodelvy) and pembrolizumab (Keytruda)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a more effective neoadjuvant treatment for triple-negative breast cancer, potentially increasing the chance of a complete response and reducing recurrence.

What could go wrong

This is a phase 3 trial, but it's not yet recruiting. The combination may cause more side effects, and it's unclear if it will outperform current standard care for all patients.
