Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a major and promising new sub-class of antibody-related therapeutics in oncology. They are composed of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) chemically linked (via the linker) to a cytotoxic drug, also known as the payload. Since 2013, the US FDA approved five ADCs in eight indications for the treatment of solid tumors (Table 1). Three of them are approved in breast cancer (BC): two trastuzumab-based ADCs in the HER2+ subtype (HER2+ BC) and one in the triple-negative subtype (TNBC), sacituzumab govitecan (SG). TNBCs represent 15% of cases and the most aggressive subtype of disease, for which the chemotherapy remained during a long time the only systemic treatment (1).

SG combines a humanized mAb against human trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (TROP2), linked through a hydrolysable linker to SN-38, the active metabolite of irinotecan and a potent inhibitor of DNA topoisomerase 1. TROP2 is a transmembrane calcium signal transducer. Its function is not fully understood although it has previously been suggested to be involved in a variety of cell signaling pathways including proliferation, survival, self-renewal, and invasion (2-4). After administration, the anti-TROP2 ADC binds to TROP2 that is expressed on the tumor-cell surface. Upon ligation, the ADC is internalized via endocytosis, which allows for the targeted delivery of SN-38 into the tumor cells. Promising results from a small study led on April 2020 to the accelerated approval of SG in patients with advanced TNBC (5). More recently, Bardia et al. reported the results of the ASCENT phase III study assessing SG as compared to single-agent chemotherapy of the physician’s choice (eribulin, vinorelbine, capecitabine, or gemcitabine) in patients with relapsed or refractory metastatic TNBC. A total of 468 patients without brain metastases were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive SG (235 patients) or chemotherapy (233 patients). With a median follow-up of 17.7 months, the patients receiving SG had a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 5.6 vs. 1.7 months for those receiving a single-agent chemotherapy (HR =0.41; 95% CI: 0.32–0.52; P<0.001), associated with an improved median overall survival (OS) of 12.1 vs. 6.7 months (HR =0.48; 95% CI: 0.38−0.59; P<0.001) (6). The percentage of patients with an objective response (OR) was 35% with SG and 5% with the chemotherapy (OR =10.8; 95% CI: 5.6–21.0). The incidence of grade 3 or higher toxicities was higher in the SG arm than in the chemotherapy arm (neutropenia: 51% vs. 33%, leukopenia: 10% vs. 5%), diarrhea: 10% vs. <1%, anemia: 8% vs. 5%, and febrile neutropenia: 6% vs. 2%). These data confirmed the SG superiority over the chemotherapy in advanced stage TNBC and supported the FDA-accelerated approval’s upgrade to a regular approval. SG is thus currently approved for the patients with advanced TNBC previously treated with two or more lines of systemic therapy, including one in the metastatic setting. To date, no other ADC has been approved by the FDA in TNBC.

Identification of biomarkers predictive for the SG efficiency is warranted. A genomic (WES) and transcriptomic (RNA-seq) analysis of pre- and post-SG tumor samples from three patients with metastatic TNBC treated with SG was reported, the post-treatment samples corresponding to multisite progressions harvested at rapid autopsy (7): TROP2 expression was a pre-treatment determinant of response, whereas acquired mutations involving the direct targets of antibody (TROP2) and of drug payload (TOP1) were identified in one patient in the post-progression samples. The largest translational study of TNBC patients treated with SG is the biomarker analysis of ASCENT which focused on TROP2 expression and germline BRCA mutations. The trial was based on a patient population unselected for TROP2 expression (8,9). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) from mainly archival primary or metastatic tumor samples was centrally carried out; the results were available for 151 patients treated with SG and 139 treated with chemotherapy. Tumor cell membrane TROP2 expression was categorized based on the histochemical score (H-score), ranging from 0 to 300 and defining three expression categories (low, moderate, and high). The patients with high (~55% of cases) and moderate (~25%) TROP2 expression showed higher ORs rate and longer PFS than patients with low expression (20%). However, these latter still had improved PFS with SG compared to chemotherapy, but the sample size was too small to make a definitive conclusion. These results suggest that assessment of TROP2 expression may not be needed to predict which patients are unlikely to derive benefit from SG vs. chemotherapy. However, the small number of patients in the low expression group, the lack of validated IHC assay, and the analysis mainly limited to archival samples although TROP2 may be a dynamic biomarker call for additional studies to address the predictive value of its expression. Clearly, the ongoing development and comparison of different assays (10,11) are warranted to optimally quantify TROP2 expression, and perhaps to help refining its predictive value for SG benefit. Such value is also challenged by the pathological context, with for example conflictual results observed in the metastatic small cell lung cancer (mSCLC) with no clear relationship between TROP2 expression and PFS or OS (12). Interestingly, a TROP2 expression-independent clinical activity of another anti-TROP2 ADC, datopotamab-deruxtecan, was also reported in the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cohort from the TROPION-PanTumor01 phase I study (13). Furthermore, other mechanisms of resistance, suggested with other ADCs (intratumor heterogeneity, elevated drug transporters such as MDR1 and MRP1, altered antibody trafficking, ADC processing, intracellular drug release, alteration of the payload target…) (14), certainly exist for SG. The search for biomarkers predictive for response/resistance is crucial and calls for the development of preclinical models of resistance and the storage of pre- and post-treatment clinical samples.

In their paper, Bardia et al. (6) mentioned that “TROP2 is highly expressed in multiple tumor types, including the breast cancer (>90%)”. However, and in a very surprising way, the three studies they were referring to do not support this statement in BC (15-17). Indeed, in the first reference, Ripani et al. (15) focused on the cytosolic Ca2+ measurement using two cell lines including one BC cell line. In the second one, a review article from Zaman et al. (16), two main studies are mentioned: one published in Science on 1997 (18) using the serial analysis of gene expression method in human colorectal epithelium, colorectal cancers, and pancreatic cancers; the other study published in Scientific Reports on 2016 was a meta-analysis of the prognostic impact studies based on the TROP2 expression by immunochemistry or RT-qPCR in cholangiocarcinoma, gastric, nasopharyngeal, gallbladder, cervical, non-small cell lung, laryngeal squamous cell, endometrial, ovarian, intestinal-type, squamous cell, and colorectal cancers, but not in BC samples (19). The third reference (17) mentioned by Bardia et al. focused on the RS7 antibody targeting TROP2 and immunoprecipitation analyses, showing in vitro serine protein kinase C phosphorylation of the protein, without any data on clinical BC samples.

Given this lack of compelling data justifying the Bardia et al.’s statements, we attempted to examine the TROP2 expression in clinical BC samples and other cancer types in comparison with the corresponding normal tissues. First, we used the cancer cell lines data from the Dependency Map (DepMap) portal (https://depmap.org/portal) to compare the mass spectrometry-based protein expression to RNA-seq-based mRNA expression of TROP2 (20,21). The TROP2 mRNA expression was strongly correlated with the protein expression in the series of 369 cancer cell lines (r=0.84, P=3.55E-101), including 30 BC cell lines (r=0.77, P=7.16E-07). Then, we analyzed The Cancer Genome Atlas Program (TCGA) gene expression data in 33 cancer types and normal corresponding tissues using the GEPIA2 tool (22). When compared to the normal tissues, TROP2 was overexpressed in the bladder urothelial carcinoma, cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, lung squamous cell carcinoma, ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, prostate adenocarcinoma, rectum adenocarcinoma, stomach adenocarcinoma, thymoma, thyroid carcinoma, thymoma, and uterine carcinosarcoma. Underexpression in the tumors compared to normal was observed in esophageal carcinoma, kidney chromophobe, kidney renal clear cell carcinoma, and skin cutaneous melanoma. No significant difference in expression between the tumors and normal tissues was observed in adrenocortical carcinoma, invasive breast carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, glioblastoma multiforme, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma, acute myeloid leukemia, brain lower grade glioma, liver hepatocellular carcinoma, mesothelioma, pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma, sarcoma, testicular germ cell tumors, and uveal melanoma (Figure 1).

Figure 1 TROP2 gene expression across all tumor samples and paired normal tissues. Each dot represents expression in the clinical samples (tumor in red, normal in green). TCGA cancer type abbreviations (top) are in red when TROP2 is higher in the tumor than in paired normal tissues, in green when lower, in black when no difference was observed (one-way ANOVA, using disease state (tumor or normal) as variable for calculating differential expression. Log2FC cutoff was set at 1 and q-value at 0.01). ACC, adrenocortical carcinoma; BLCA, bladder urothelial carcinoma; BRCA, breast invasive carcinoma; CESC, cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma; CHOL, cholangiocarcinoma; COAD, colon adenocarcinoma; DLBC, lymphoid neoplasm diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; ESCA, esophageal carcinoma; GBM, glioblastoma multiforme; HNSC, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma; KICH, kidney chromophobe; KIRC, kidney renal clear cell carcinoma; KIRP, kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma; LAML, acute myeloid leukemia; LGG, brain lower grade glioma; LIHC, liver hepatocellular carcinoma; LUAD, lung adenocarcinoma; LUSC, lung squamous cell carcinoma; MESO, mesothelioma; OV, ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma; PAAD, pancreatic adenocarcinoma; PCPG, pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma; PRAD, prostate adenocarcinoma; READ, rectum adenocarcinoma; SARC, sarcoma; SKCM, skin cutaneous melanoma; STAD, stomach adenocarcinoma; TGCT, testicular germ cell tumors; THCA, thyroid carcinoma; THYM, thymoma; UCEC, uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma; UCS, uterine carcinosarcoma; UVM, uveal melanoma; TCGA, The Cancer Genome Atlas Program; ANOVA, analysis of variance.

These data, including 1,085 BC clinical samples and 291 paired normal tissue samples, do not support TROP2 overexpression, at least at the mRNA level and in BC compared to unpaired normal mammary tissues. In fact, very few data are available regarding the mRNA or protein TROP2 expression in paired normal and tumor BC tissue samples. Two studies showed higher expression in the BC samples than in the tumor-adjacent non-malignant tissues at the mRNA level in 15 pairs (23) and 20 pairs (24), and at the protein level in 59 pairs (23) and 70 pairs (24). Another study showed a similar result at the mRNA level in 50 pairs (25).

Thus, the data in TCGA tumors challenge the notion of TROP2 as an ideal antigen target highly expressed at the surface of cancer cells with low expression on healthy tissues to limit the on-target off-tumor toxicity (26). Nevertheless, the lack of relative abundance of antigen expression compared with normal tissue does not preclude ADC activity. In some cases, low antigen expression may still function (i.e., DS-8201 activity in low HER2 tumors) depending on antibody-antigen affinity, cell membrane permeability, or linker stability (27). However, some ADCs act also by mediating the so-called bystander killing effect, by which the non-target-expressing cells neighboring the targeted cells are killed either by extraneous drug expelled from cells targeted by the ADC, or by the extracellular release of the payload by early cleavage of the linker (28). The linker attaching the mAb to SN-38 in SG contains a protease site that was anticipated to be cleaved by lysosomal enzymes to release SN-38 within the cell. However, the ADC releases SN-38 with a half-life measured in serum of 17.5 hours with close clearance time for SG (~14 hours) (29), suggesting that SG might also act as an SN-38 prodrug in addition to a conventional ADC. Such hypothesis might explain the SG efficiency independently from the TROP2 expression and the SG systemic toxicity. This bystander effect might represent a promising avenue for the future development of ADCs by focusing on the development of combinations to exploit the tumor microenvironment such conjugating ADCs with immune-stimulant molecules as a second payload and/or to synergize with immune checkpoint inhibition.

In conclusion, even if its mechanism of action remains debated, SG represents a major advance in the treatment of advanced TNBC. Because TROP2 is widely expressed in TNBC and thanks to the strong bystander effect of SG, this latter should lead to better efficacy in the whole population of TNBC patients than other drugs recently approved, efficient but only in patients’ subgroups such as the 5–10% of patients with germline BRCA mutations for the PARP inhibitors (olaparib, talazoparib) and the 40% of patients with a combined positive score (CPS) ≥10% for the pembrolizumab immune checkpoint inhibitor. Clinical trials assessing SG, alone or in combination, are ongoing in early TNBC in both the neo-adjuvant setting (NeoSTAR trial: NCT04230109) and the post-neo-adjuvant setting (SASCIA trial: NCT04595565). Because TROP2 is also expressed in the HR+/HER2− BC, the TROPiCS-02 phase III trial recently compared SG with the physician’s choice of chemotherapy in patients with metastatic HR+/HER2− BC (30) with positive results for its primary endpoint (PFS). Other ADCs are in development in advanced TNBC such as datopotamab-deruxtecan directed against TROP2 and other ADCs directed against nectin4 (31) and LIV1 (32).
