Cervical carcinomas that overexpress human trophoblast cell-surface marker (Trop-2) are highly sensitive to the antibody-drug conjugate sacituzumab govitecan

values in the range of 0.18 to 0.26 nM (p = 0.02, and p = 0.04 for CVX-8, and ADX-3, respectively). In xenografts, a significant tumor growth inhibition was seen after twice-weekly intravenous administration of the drug for three weeks (p < 0.0001, and p = 0.001 for sacituzumab govitecan vs naked antibody, and sacituzumab govitecan vs control-ADC, respectively). Overall survival at 90 days was significantly improved in the sacituzumab govitecan group (p = 0.014). In conclusion, sacituzumab govitecan may represent a novel targeted therapy option in cervical cancer patients overexpressing Trop-2.
