A Study of Sacituzumab Govitecan in People With Mesothelioma
What this study is about
Participants will receive sacituzumab govitecan until their disease gets worse (progresses), they have severe side effects and cannot continue study treatment, or the participants or the study doctor thinks it's in your best interest to stop treatment.
View original scientific description
Participants will receive sacituzumab govitecan until their disease gets worse (progresses), they have severe side effects and cannot continue study treatment, or the participants or the study doctor thinks it's in your best interest to stop treatment.
Interventions
DRUG
Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy
After enrollment, participants will receive SG until disease progression or intolerable toxicity.
Primary outcome measures
Overall Response Rate
Time frame: 2 years
Clinical efficacy of SG in participants with recurrent and/or unresectable/metastatic DPM treated past the Cycle 3 tumor assessment determined by overall response rate as primarily assessed by modified (m)RECIST. Overall response rate defined as participants who achieve complete response or partial response as best overall response by modified RECIST v1.1 criteria for mesothelioma.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Patient, or legally authorized representative (LAR), willing and able to provide written informed consent for the trial
- Patient age ≥ 18 at time of consent
- Pathologically confirmed diffuse pleural mesothelioma
- Must have received at least one prior systemic therapy (platinum/pemetrexed, immunotherapy or a combination thereof)
- Measurable disease as defined primarily by the modified RECIST criteria for mesothelioma (at PI discretion RECIST v1.1 may be used)
- Consent to undergo a biopsy prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 and Cycle 3 Day 1 if deemed medically safe and feasible
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score 0 or Karnofsky Performance Status ≥ 70%
- Adequate organ function, defined as
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5K/mcL
- Platelet count ≥ 100K/mcL
- Adequate renal function defined as creatinine clearance ≥ 30ml/min (as calculated by Cockcroft-Gault Formula)
- Hemoglobin \> 9g/dL (prior transfusion permitted if not within 7 days of enrollment)
- Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) if no liver metastases or \<3 × ULN in the presence of documented Gilbert's Syndrome (unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia) or liver metastases; subjects with Gilbert's syndrome can enroll if conjugated bilirubin is within normal limits
- AST, ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN (if liver metastases are present, ≤5 × ULN)
- If of childbearing potential, must be willing to use highly effective mode of contraception for at least one month prior, during, and for 2 months after the end of active therapy
Exclusion criteria
- Currently participating in another study and receiving another study therapy or has participated in a study of an investigational agent and received study therapy or used an investigational device within 3 weeks of the first dose of treatment
- Prior hypersensitivity to irinotecan or any components of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy
- Prior cytotoxic/immunologic systemic therapy within 3 weeks prior to study Day 1 or has not recovered (i.e., CTCAE v5 ≥ Grade 1 at baseline; from clinically significant adverse events due to a previously administered agent (excluding Grade 2 neuropathy)
- Known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with the requirements of the trial within the opinion of the investigator
- Known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, early stage prostate cancer, or in situ cervical cancer after definitive treatment
- Positive hepatitis B (hepatitis B virus \[HBV\]) surface antigen (HBsAg) o NOTE: Subjects with a prior history of HBV demonstrated by positive hepatitis B core antibody are eligible if they have at Screening 1) a negative HBsAg and 2) a HBV DNA (viral load) below the lower limit of quantification, per local testing. Patients who fit these criteria must use Hep B prophylaxis during treatment. Subjects with a positive HBsAg due to recent vaccination are eligible if HBV DNA (viral load) is below the lower limit of quantification, per local testing
- Positive hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV) o NOTE: Subjects with a prior history of HCV, who have completed antiviral treatment and have subsequently documented HCV RNA below the lower limit of quantification per local testing are eligible
- Participant is positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), with 1 or more of the following:
- Receiving ART that may interfere with study treatment (consult sponsor for review of medication prior to enrollment)
- CD4 count \< 350 cells/mm3 at screening
- AIDS-defining opportunistic infection within 6 months of start of screening
- Not agreeing to start ART and be on ART \> 4 weeks plus having HIV viral load \<400 copies/mL at end of 4-week period (to ensure ART is tolerated and HIV controlled)
- Myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, or any acute coronary syndrome within 6 months of start of study drug
- Congestive heart failure defined as New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III-IV or hospitalization for congestive heart failure (any NYHA class) within 6 months of study Day 1
- Pregnant women or women who are breastfeeding or of childbearing potential and not using a highly effective method of birth control for at least one month prior to enrollment. If the risk of contraception exists, male and female subjects must use highly effective contraception throughout the study and for at least 60 days after last treatment. Highly effective contraception includes either 2 barrier methods (diaphragm, condom by the partner, copper intrauterine device, sponge, or spermicide), or 1 barrier method and 1 hormonal method (any oral, subcutaneous, intrauterine, or intramuscular registered and marketed contraceptive agent that contains an estrogen and/or a progesterone agent)

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
