Ongoing search for effective 2nd line treatment in 🫁 cancer.

Sacituzumab Govitecan (TROP2 ADC) in ED SCLC in ph. 2 TROPiCS-03. ORR 41.9% (35% in platinum-res). PFS 4.4 mo, OS 13.6 mo. 74.4% >=gr.3 tox.

Despite advancements, need to do better (selection?).

Phase 2 Open-Label Study of Sacituzumab Govitecan as Second-Line Therapy in Patients With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer: Results From TROPiCS-03 - PubMed
SG demonstrated promising efficacy in the second-line treatment of ES-SCLC, irrespective of platinum sensitivity. Safety was manageable and consistent with that observed in other SG studies.
