    A phase II study indicates that sacituzumab govitecan (IMMU-132), a Trop-2-specific antibody linked to the irinotecan metabolite SN-38, prolongs the progression-free survival of patients with advanced triple-negative breast cancer. IMMU-132 is well tolerated, causing fewer and more manageable side effects than irinotecan.
