Recruiting Phase 3

A Study of Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (MK-2870) as a Single Agent and in Combination With Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) Versus Treatment of Physician's Choice in Participants With HR+/HER2- Unresectable Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer (MK-2870-010)

About this study

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.

Exclusion 7
