ABSTRACT PRESENTATION 4
SACI-IO HR+: A randomized phase II trial of
sacituzumab govitecan with or without
pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic
hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative
breast cancer.
Abstract LBA1004

---

[Slide 2]
Conclusions:
Addition of pembrolizumab to SG showed a
non-significant trend toward improved PFS in
unselected HR+/HER2- MBC at this
preliminary time point. Final PFS and updated
os with further follow-up will be presented at
the meeting. Exploratory outcome analyses by
TROP2 and PD-L1 expression will be reported.
Clinical trial information: NCT04448886.

CT for MBC. At a median follow-up of 9.2
months (mo), median PFS was 8.4 mo in Arm
A vs 6.2 mo in Arm B (HR 0.76, 95% CI 0.47-
1.23, log-rank p=0.26); ORR 21.2% and 17.3%,
respectively. os data are immature with only
26 events to date; os was 16.9 mo vs 17.1 mo
(HR 0.65, 95% CI 0.30-1.41, log-rank p=0.28),

The PD-L1+ signal (HR 0.56) reflects real biological activity masked by insufficient power. I would urge larger biomarker-driven validation.

About the SACI-IO HR+ Trial

SACI-IO HR+ is an investigator-initiated, multicenter, randomized Phase II trial evaluating whether the addition of pembrolizumab to sacituzumab govitecan (SG, anti-Trop-2 ADC) improves outcomes versus SG alone in patients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer who had received ≥1 prior endocrine therapy and 0–1 prior lines of chemotherapy. Primary results were first reported at ASCO 2024 (LBA1004, Garrido-Castro), then matured to a final analysis at ESMO Breast Cancer 2026 (Abstract 424RO, Garrido-Castro, 8 May 2026; data cutoff 3 December 2025, median follow-up 34.6 months). The final analysis showed no significant ITT benefit for SG + pembrolizumab vs SG alone in either PFS or OS — with the previously suggestive OS trend (HR 0.65 at the early cut) maturing to HR 0.97 in the final analysis. An exploratory PD-L1+ subgroup (CPS ≥1, N=39) maintained numerically interesting but underpowered signals favouring combination therapy.

SACI-IO HR+ Methodology & Results

Population: Adults with HR+ (ER ≥1% and/or PR ≥1%), HER2-negative, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Prior endocrine therapy ≥1 line required. 0–1 prior chemotherapy lines for metastatic disease. Excluded: prior TOPO1-inhibitor ADCs, irinotecan, or PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. Baseline: median age 57, 77% prior CDK4/6 inhibitor, 56% no prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease.

Interventions: Arm A: Sacituzumab govitecan 10 mg/kg IV on Days 1 and 8 + pembrolizumab 200 mg IV on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Arm B: Sacituzumab govitecan 10 mg/kg IV on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle (monotherapy). Treatment continued until progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Endpoints: Primary: PFS in the overall population. Secondary: PFS in PD-L1+ (CPS ≥1 by 22C3); OS; ORR; safety. Exploratory: TROP2 / PD-L1 expression correlatives.

Efficacy — Final analysis: ITT not significant (PFS HR 0.78 p=0.12; OS HR 0.97 p=0.46); PD-L1+ subgroup signal persists

ITT population (N=52 vs N=52) at final analysis: median PFS 8.4 months (95% CI 4.5–12.5) with SG + pembrolizumab vs 6.7 months (95% CI 3.8–8.7) with SG alone; HR 0.78 (95% CI 0.52–1.19); p=0.12 (log-rank); PFS events 46 vs 45. Median OS 22.2 months (95% CI 17.3–31.2) vs 22.1 months (95% CI 18.0–27.4); HR 0.97 (95% CI 0.61–1.54); p=0.46 (log-rank); OS events 37 vs 36. ORR 21.2% vs 17.3% (ASCO 2024 cut). [ESMO Breast 2026 424RO, DCO 12/3/25, FU 34.6 mo]

PD-L1+ subgroup (CPS ≥1, N=39: 19 vs 20): median PFS 9.7 months (95% CI 4.2–15.7) vs 5.6 months (95% CI 2.5–8.7); HR 0.56 (95% CI 0.28–1.14); p=0.11 (log-rank); PFS events 17 vs 18. Median OS 24.3 months (95% CI 17.0–NR) vs 17.7 months (95% CI 12.4–33.0); HR 0.69 (95% CI 0.32–1.48); p=0.34 (log-rank); OS events 12 vs 15. Numerically favourable but underpowered; not statistically significant. [ESMO Breast 2026 424RO, DCO 12/3/25, FU 34.6 mo]

Data evolution note: between the ASCO 2024 preliminary cut (DCO 1/12/2024, median FU 9.2 months) and the ESMO Breast 2026 final analysis (DCO 12/3/2025, median FU 34.6 months), the ITT OS HR moved from 0.65 (suggestive trend) to 0.97 (essentially flat). PD-L1+ subgroup signals remained directionally consistent.

Safety & Tolerability — No new safety signals; consistent with known SG and pembrolizumab class effects

"The safety profile of SG plus pembrolizumab was similar to that expected with either agent and no new safety signals were reported." One Grade 5 TEAE was reported in the SG monotherapy arm: hepatic failure (n=1), unlikely related to SG per investigator-assessed attribution. [ESMO Breast 2026 424RO, DCO 12/3/25, FU 34.6 mo]

Treatment-Emergent AEs ≥15% (Grade ≥2 / Grade 3-4), SG + Pembrolizumab (N=52) vs SG (N=52):

  • Neutrophil count decreased: 69.2% (53.8%) vs 61.5% (46.2%)
  • Alopecia: 44.2% vs 38.5%
  • Fatigue: 38.5% (3.8%) vs 34.6% (5.8%)
  • Anemia: 36.5% (7.7%) vs 28.8% (9.6%)
  • WBC decreased: 28.9% (23.1%) vs 15.4% (7.7%)
  • Nausea: 30.8% (3.8%) vs 32.7% (9.6%)
  • Diarrhea: 25.0% (5.8%) vs 40.4% (7.7%)
  • Lymphocyte count decreased: 17.3% (11.5%) vs 0% (0%) — higher in doublet
  • Alk phos increased: 15.4% (1.9%) vs 11.5% (1.9%)
  • Dyspnea: 15.4% (3.8%) vs 0% (0%) — higher in doublet
  • Anorexia: 13.5% (0%) vs 17.3% (0%)

Clinical Implications

Updated interpretation (ESMO Breast 2026 final): With mature 34.6-month follow-up, the ITT OS hazard ratio has moved to 0.97 (p=0.46) — the suggestive trend seen in the preliminary cut has not borne out in mature data. The PD-L1+ subgroup signal persists numerically (PFS HR 0.56, OS HR 0.69) but remains underpowered and not statistically significant. KOL commentary below reflects the earlier (ASCO 2024) data cuts and should be read in that context.

Stephanie Graff reported the SACI-IO HR+ topline cleanly: “in pts w/PDL1 unselected HR+ MBC, pembrolizumab + sacituzumab govitecan (SG) did not improve mPFS vs SG alone (8.1 vs 6.2 months, HR 0.81, p=0.37),” while flagging “a non-significant trend seen among patients w/ PD-L1+ (CPS ≥1).” Hope Rugo framed the same data more permissively, noting an “Intriguing trend towards improved PFS and OS in CPS+ disease with SG Pembo vs SG, underpowered for significance,” with the companion “HR neg study ongoing.” Paolo Tarantino similarly described “an intriguing trend in PFS and OS… seen in the PDL1+ subgroup.” Abi Siva polled the implications directly — “promising signal was seen in the PD-L1+ subgroup (CPS ≥1). More exploration needed.” Yakup Ergün noted the “Addition of Pembro to SG showed a non-significant trend toward improved PFS.” Suyog Amol Akhade dissented on practicality, calling the SG+pembro PFS gain “Not much benifit” and the regimen not a useful strategy.
