Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for people with advanced breast cancer that is hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative. Participants will receive sacituzumab tirumotecan on its own or with another medication called pembrolizumab to see how well it works compared to other treatments.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
I have been diagnosed with advanced hormone receptor positive breast cancer.
I have seen my cancer worsen after one or more hormone therapies.
I am a candidate for chemotherapy.
I have good overall health with an ECOG status of 0 to 1.
I have adequate organ function.
I am HIV positive and well managed on treatment.
I am Hepatitis B positive but have received treatment and have an undetectable viral load.
I have a history of Hepatitis C, but my viral load is undetectable.
You may not be able to join if
I have breast cancer that can be treated with curative intent.
I have had a cancer recurrence within 6 months after initial therapy.
I have serious complications from advanced cancer.
I have received chemotherapy for my advanced breast cancer before.
I have an active autoimmune disease requiring treatment in the last 2 years.
I have a history of serious lung problems needing steroids.
I have an ongoing infection that needs treatment.

The purpose of this study is to compare sacituzumab tirumotecan as a single agent, and in combination with pembrolizumab, versus Treatment of Physician's Choice (TPC) in participants with hormone receptor positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 negative (HR+/HER2-) unresectable locally advanced, or metastatic, breast cancer.

The purpose of this study is to compare sacituzumab tirumotecan as a single agent, and in combination with pembrolizumab, versus Treatment of Physician's Choice (TPC) in participants with hormone receptor positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 negative (HR+/HER2-) unresectable locally advanced, or metastatic, breast cancer.
The primary hypotheses are that sacituzumab tirumotecan as a single agent and sacituzumab tirumotecan plus pembrolizumab are superior to TPC with respect to progression-free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) by blinded independent central review (BICR) in all participants.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Has unresectable locally advanced or metastatic centrally-confirmed hormone receptor positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer
* Has radiographic disease progression on one or more lines of endocrine therapy for unresectable locally advanced/metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer, with one in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor
* Is a chemotherapy candidate
* Has an eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1 assessed within 7 days before randomization
* Has adequate organ function
* Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected participants must have well controlled HIV on antiretroviral therapy
* Participants who are Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive are eligible if they have received HBV antiviral therapy for at least 4 weeks, and have undetectable HBV viral load
* Participants with a history of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are eligible if HCV viral load is undetectable
Exclusion Criteria:
* Has breast cancer amenable to treatment with curative intent
* Has experienced an early recurrence (\<6 months after completing adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy) and therefore is eligible to receive second-line (2L) treatment

* Has received prior chemotherapy for unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer
* Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years
