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

  • Pathologically confirmed residual invasive breast cancer, in the breast and/or lymph node(s), following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. In the absence of residual invasive disease in the breast, lymph node must contain at least 2mm of invasive disease.
  • HER2 negative in primary tumor pre-treatment by local pathology assessed according to current ASCO/CAP guidelines:
  • In situ hybridization non-amplified (ratio of HER2 to CEP17 \< 2.0 or single probe average HER2 gene copy number \< 4 signals/cell), OR
  • Immunohistochemistry (IHC) 0 or IHC 1+.
  • NOTE: If more than one test result is available and not all results meet the inclusion criterion definition, all results should be discussed with the Principal Investigator to establish eligibility
  • ER and PR negative in primary tumor pre-treatment defined as \< 10% of cells expressing hormonal receptors via IHC analysis by local laboratory assessment.
  • Patients must have received neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to breast surgery.
  • Patients must be within 4 months of completion of all locoregional therapy (either last surgery or last dose of radiation, whichever is later) . Definitive breast surgery must have been performed and includes lumpectomy or mastectomy with pathologically clear margins (i.e. no ink on tumor). For patients undergoing lumpectomy, this must be followed by whole breast irradiation. Definitive surgery also includes axillary surgery, either sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary lymph node dissection at the discretion of the attending surgeon.
  • Evidence of ctDNA in blood sample collected after completion of all local and systemic neoadjuvant therapy (preoperative chemotherapy, surgery and radiation), confirmed by central testing. Detection of any tumor specific mutations (TSMs) within the sample will be considered positive for purposes of study eligibility.

  • Prior treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor in the neoadjuvant setting is permitted.
  • ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1
  • Men and women, age ≥ 18 years
  • Adequate hematologic and organ function defined by the following:

  • Patients with known Gilbert syndrome: serum bilirubin level ≤ 3 × institutional ULN
  • Serum creatinine \< 1.5 x institutional ULN
  • Creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min as assessed by the Cockcroft-Gault equation
  • Serum albumin ≥ 25 g/L (2.5 g/dL)
  • For patients not receiving therapeutic anticoagulation: INR or aPTT ≤ 1.5 × institutional ULN
  • For patients receiving therapeutic anticoagulation: stable anticoagulant regimen
  • Women of childbearing potential (pre-menopausal) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days prior to start of therapy. A woman is defined as premenopausal if she is less than 12 months from last menstrual period with no identified cause other than menopause (medication induced amenorrhea is not acceptable). Pregnancy test is not required in women who are surgically sterile via bilateral salpingooophorectomy or hysterectomy.
  • Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception for the duration of protocol treatment and for 6 months after last dose of atezolizumab and 6 months after last dose of sacituzumab govitecan, whichever is later. Hormonal contraceptives are not acceptable (see section 5.6).

  • Treatment with a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment, or anticipation of need for such a vaccine while on protocol treatment
  • Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or any of their excipients, including chimeric or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins and Chinese hamster ovary cell products or recombinant human antibodies
  • Treatment with systemic immunosuppressive medication (including, but not limited to, corticosteroids, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, thalidomide, and anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha agents) within 2 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment, or anticipation of need for systemic immunosuppressive medication during the course of the study, with the following exceptions:
  • Patients who received acute, low-dose systemic immunosuppressant medication or a one-time pulse dose of systemic immunosuppressant medication (e.g., 48 hours of corticosteroids for a contrast allergy) are eligible. o Patients who received mineralocorticoids (e.g., fludrocortisone), corticosteroids for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma, or low-dose corticosteroids for orthostatic hypotension or adrenal insufficiency are eligible for the study.
  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because the effects of sacituzumab govitecan and atezolizumab on a developing fetus are unknown. Breastfeeding should be discontinued prior to entry onto the study and for one month following the last dose of sacituzumab govitecan.

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.
