5/🔙 to Ms Reed 👩🏾‍🦱

🏥14 wks after starting on pembro+ carbo/gem she is hospitalized w/ profuse diarrhea (~9 BM/day)
No⛔Hx IBD or recent travel ✈️
Stool test:⛔for C. difficile

⚠️Ms Reed & her hospitalist ask you ~
❓Is this an irAE?

5/Ms Reed 👩🏾‍🦱 returns 9 wks after starting SG

She has now received 3 cycles & should have a CT scan & repeat labs

4/🤔How does SG work?
SG MOA =ADC that delivers SN-38, a topoisomerase I inhibitor that is a highly potent active metabolite of parent drug (irinotecan)

SN-38 interacts w/ Top1
Prevents❌re-ligation of single strand breaks
→tumor cell DNA🧬damage, apoptosis, & cell death💥

2/ 👍 Yes! Sacitizumab govitecan is a good option for Ms Reed’s #mTNBC👩🏾‍🦱
🥇 SG is a first-in-class Trop-2 directed ADC
✅ Approved in 2020 based on phase 3 ASCENT study that met its PFS endpt

⭐ Trop-2, an oncogenic protein detected in >85% of TNBCs, is a new Tx target

6/🗓️Ms Reed 👩🏾‍🦱 returns 9 wks after starting trastuzumab deruxtecan

She's now received 3️⃣cycles of T-DXd
⏭️She should now have a CT scan & repeat labs

5/T-DXd binds HER2 on tumor cells
➡️internalized & cleaved by lysosomal enzymes
➡️DxD payload enters cell nucleus
➡️DNA damage & apoptosis

🚧T-DXd also crosses cell membranes
🟰cytotoxic effects on nearby tumor cells, even if they lack HER2 (bystander effect)

2/👏 Yes! T-DXd is a good option for Ms Reed, whose TNBC is HER2-low👩🏾‍🦱
💡T-DXd is 1st HER2-directed ADC for #TNBC

✅Approval based on DESTINY-Breast04
✅NCCN → T-DXd preferred >2L Tx for HER2-low mBC w/o BRCA mutation
