Study Overview: Gilead Sciences is conducting a Phase 3 study titled A Randomized, Open-label, Phase 3 Study of Adjuvant Sacituzumab Govitecan and Pembrolizumab Versus Treatment of Physician’s Choice in Patients With Triple Negative Breast Cancer Who Have Residual Invasive Disease After Surgery and Neoadjuvant Therapy. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy combined with pembrolizumab compared to the standard treatment options in patients with triple negative breast cancer post-surgery and pre-surgical treatment.
Intervention/Treatment: The study tests sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (SG) and pembrolizumab as the experimental intervention. SG is administered intravenously, while pembrolizumab is also given intravenously. The control group receives either pembrolizumab alone or with capecitabine, an oral medication.
Study Design: This interventional study is randomized and follows a parallel assignment model. It is open-label, meaning both researchers and participants know which treatment is being administered. The primary purpose is treatment-focused, aiming to assess the efficacy of the drug combination.
Study Timeline: The study began on November 21, 2022, and is currently recruiting. The primary completion and estimated study completion dates are not specified, but the latest update was on August 13, 2025. These timelines are crucial for investors to track progress and potential market entry.
Market Implications: The outcome of this study could significantly impact Gilead Sciences’ stock performance, especially if the combination therapy proves more effective than existing treatments. Positive results may enhance investor sentiment and position Gilead competitively in the oncology market, particularly against other companies developing treatments for triple negative breast cancer.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
