A meta-analysis and systematic review of the first Trop-2-targeting antibody–drug conjugate (sacituzumab govitecan) in treating metastatic breast cancer
摘要
To assess the effectiveness and safety of sacituzumab govitecan in metastatic breast cancer (MBC), we performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing sacituzumab govitecan with chemotherapy.
MethodsWe systematically searched multiple databases for relevant studies. Primary outcomes included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), and adverse events (AEs). Data were analyzed using RevMan 5.3 software.
ResultsThree studies were included after rigorous screening and quality assessment. Compared with chemotherapy, sacituzumab govitecan significantly prolonged PFS [HR 0.57; 95% CI 0.43, 0.77; P = 0.0002], improved OS [HR 0.64; 95% CI 0.48, 0.85; P = 0.002], and increased ORR [RR 2.84; 95% CI 1.27, 6.37; P = 0.01]. However, sacituzumab govitecan was associated with higher incidence of AEs (P < 0.00001).
ConclusionIn this study, sacituzumab govitecan demonstrated improved PFS and OS compared to chemotherapy regimens in patients with MBC. Further research is required to validate its broad applicability and long-term treatment stability.
