Sacituzumab Govitecan for the Treatment of Patients with Diffuse Pleural Mesothelioma

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests how well sacituzumab govitecan-hziy works in treating patients with diffuse pleural mesothelioma. Sacituzumab govitecan is a monoclonal antibody, called sacituzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called govitecan. Sacituzumab govitecan is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as TROP 2 receptors, and delivers govitecan to kill them.
