In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Dr. Alessandro Santin to discuss Sacituzumab Govitecan (TROPiCS—03) in Advanced Endometrial Cancer. Dr. Alessandro D. Santin, a native of Italy, graduated with honors from the University of Brescia, Italy and received his postgraduate training in Obstetrics & Gynecology at the same University. He served a fellowship in Gynecologic Oncology at the University of California, Irvine and an International Fellowship in the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, Arkansas. Dr. Santin joined the faculty in the Section of Gynecologic Oncology in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences at Yale University as Professor as of July 2008. Dr. Santin has more than 400 original research and peer-reviewed publications including multiple review articles and book chapters and he has written extensively on various topics, including cancer of the ovary, endometrium and cervix as well as on tumor immunology and immunotherapy. Dr. Santin's clinical interests include the use of immunotherapy in ovarian, cervical and endometrial carcinoma patients with disease resistant/refractory to standard treatment, therapeutic vaccines against Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infected genital tumors, and the development of personalized treatment modalities including monoclonal antibodies and antibody-drug-conjugates (ADC) against chemotherapy resistant gynecologic tumors.

Highlights:

• In the TROPiCS-03 trial Sacituzumab Govitecan demonstrated encouraging clinical activity in recurrent endometrial cancer patients in progression after chemotherapy and immune check point inhibitors


• Sacituzumab Govitecan toxicity profile was manageable with only 5% of patients discontinuing treatment due to TRAEs


• TROP-2 protein was expressed in over 90% of endometrial cancer patients enrolled in the TROPiCS-03 trial and showed limited correlation with efficacy to Sacituzumab Govitecan
