Oncology On-the-Go Podcast: Sacituzumab Govitecan for HR+/HER2– Advanced Breast Cancer

Podcast

Experts from Emory Winship Cancer Institute discuss how the FDA approval of sacituzumab govitecan will impact the treatment of breast cancer.

In a Twitter Spaces edition of the Oncology On-the-Go podcast, Kevin Kalinsky, MD, MS, and Jane Meisel, MD, of Emory Winship Cancer Institute, spoke with CancerNetwork® about how the FDA approval of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (Trodlevy) for advanced or metastatic hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer will impact the treatment paradigm.

Kalinsky, an associate professor in the Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology and director of Breast Medical Oncology, and Meisel, an associate professor in the Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology and in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, discussed data from the phase 3 TROPiCS-02 trial (NCT03901339) that led to the approval and what unmet needs still exist in the space.
