As a reminder, ASCENT was an international, multicentre, open-label, randomised phase 3 clinical trial, which evaluated Trodelvy® (n=235) vs treatment of single-agent chemotherapy of physician's choice (eribulin, vinorelbine, gemcitabine or capecitabine) (n=233) in patients with mTNBC.1
Please note that this is a post-hoc subgroup analysis from the ASCENT trial. This analysis is not powered and statistical significance cannot be inferred.
Trodelvy® numerically improved outcomes versus all SACs used in the ASCENT trial*2
*Assessed in the BMNeg population
BMNeg, without known brain metastases; CI, confidence interval; CBR, clinical benefit rate; DOR, duration of response; n, number of participants; NE, not estimable; ORR, objective response rate; OS, overall survival; PFS, progression-free survival; SAC, single-agent chemotherapy

Baseline characteristics and demographics were comparable among the ASCENT ITT, HER2-evaluable ITT, and across HER2 IHC scores.7
PFS for Trodelvy® vs SAC
HER2 ICH0 (4.3 vs 1.6 months).7
HER2 IHC 1+/2+ & ISH- (6.2 vs 2.9 months).7
Figures adapted from Hurvitz SA, et al. ESMO, 20227
Hash marks indicate censoring. In patients with and without brain metastases.
OS for Trodelvy® vs SAC
HER2 IHC0 (11.3 vs 5.9 months).7
HER2 IHC 1+/2+ & ISH- (14.0 vs 8.7 months).7
Figures adapted from Hurvitz SA, et al. ESMO, 20227
Hash marks indicate censoring. In patients with and without brain metastases: HER2 IHC 1+/2+ and ISH- defined as IHC1+, or IHC2+ and ISH-negative.
In the subgroup analysis of the ASCENT trial, clinical benefit of Trodelvy in mTNBC across Single Agent Chemotherapies and HER2 IHC scores was found to be consistent with that of the ASCENT ITT and BMNeg populations.
Consider Trodelvy® for your patients with unresectable locally advanced or mTNBC, irrespective of HER2 status, who have received two or more prior lines of systemic therapies, at least one of them given for unresectable locally advanced or metastatic disease.7,8
