A commentary on key takeaways from TROPiCS-02, remaining questions and unmet needs in the field, and the clinical implications of using SG and other Trop-2–directed ADCs in patients with HR+/HER2- mBC.

Drs Dietrich, Tolaney, and Vidal comment on PFS subgroup analyses, response rates, and common adverse events (AEs) observed in the TROPiCS-02 trial.

Experts discuss progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) data from the TROPiCS-02 trial on SG versus treatment of physician’s choice.

Dr Tolaney discusses the TROPiCS-02 study design and comments on the key baseline characteristics of the patients with HR+/HER2- mBC who were enrolled in the trial.

Dr Vidal elaborates on the role of trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (Trop-2) in metastatic breast cancer and discusses the rationale for using Trop-2–directed antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), including sacituzumab govitecan (SG), in patients with the disease.

Sara Tolaney, MD, MPH introduces the 2022 Journal of Clinical Oncology preprint publication, “Sacituzumab Govitecan in Hormone Receptor–Positive/ Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2–Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer” and invites Martin Dietrich, MD, PhD and Gregory Vidal, MD, PhD to comment on the typical patients with hormone receptor–positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (mBC) who they see in their clinical practice.
