Antitumor Effects of Sacituzumab Govitecan Plus Platinum-Based Chemotherapy

Oncotarget

The relentless search for effective cancer therapies has led to numerous breakthroughs in drug discovery and development. Advancements have emerged in recent years through the promising avenue of combination therapy, where two or more drugs are used synergistically to enhance their collective therapeutic effect. This strategy has shown significant potential in overcoming drug resistance, reducing side effects, and improving patient survival rates. In a new study, researchers Thomas M. Cardillo, Maria B. Zalath, Roberto Arrojo, Robert M. Sharkey, Serengulam V. Govindan, Chien-Hsing Chang, and David M. Goldenberg from Gilead Sciences and the Center for Molecular Medicine and Immunology demonstrated the significant antitumor effects of Sacituzumab govitecan, an anti-Trop-2-SN-38 antibody-drug conjugate, in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy. On February 22, 2024, their research paper was published in Oncotarget, entitled, “Sacituzumab govitecan plus platinum-based chemotherapy mediates significant antitumor effects in triple-negative breast, urinary bladder, and small-cell lung carcinomas.” Full blog - https://www.oncotarget.org/2024/03/14/antitumor-effects-of-sacituzumab-govitecan-plus-platinum-based-chemotherapy/ Paper DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28559 Correspondence to - Thomas M.
