This research is studying the effect of Antibody-Drug Conjugate Sacituzumab Govitecan in Combination with the Poly (Adenosine Diphosphate [ADP]-Ribose) Polymerase (PARP) Inhibitor Talazoparib in Patients with Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.
This is a Phase I/II clinical trial. You are being asked to participate in the Phase I portion of the study. A Phase I clinical trial tests the safety of an investigational drug and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drug to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the drug is being studied.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved sacituzumab govitecan as a treatment for any disease.
The FDA has not approved talazoparib for this specific disease, but it has been approved for other uses in breast cancer.
Sacituzumab govitecan is an antibody-drug conjugate which means it's made up of an antibody attached to an anticancer drug. An antibody is a protein normally made by the immune system (the system in the body that fights off diseases). Sacituzumab govitecan is believed to work by binding the antibody portion of the drug to the tumor(s) while the anticancer drug portion works to prevent the cancer cells from growing/spreading.
Talazoparib belongs to a group of drugs called PARP inhibitors. PARP is a protein that is involved with repairing damaged DNA (the genetic material of cells). Talazoparib is believed to work by inhibiting (stopping) the PARP proteins from working in the cancer cells so that the cancer cannot fix its damaged DNA.
The investigators believe that the combination of sacituzumab govitecan and talazoparib may help stop the cancer from growing and spreading by administering an anticancer drug directly to the cancerous tumor(s) through sacituzumab govitecan and by stopping the cancer's cells from fixing its damaged DNA through talazoparib.
12,544 studies on the registry are indexed under Breast Neoplasms; 2,892 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 75 is close to the median of 72 across 9,302 interventional studies indexed under Breast Neoplasms.

Patient has adequate bone marrow and organ function as defined by the following laboratory values at screening:
Total bilirubin ≤3.0 x ULN or direct bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN in patients with well-documented Gilbert's Syndrome.
Exclusion Criteria:
Clinically significant, uncontrolled heart disease and/or cardiac repolarization abnormality including any of the following:
Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, or fertile men, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception throughout the study and after study drug discontinuation (till 8 weeks in women and six months in males, post-study). Male patient should not donate sperm while on treatment and up to 6 months after last dose. Women are considered post-menopausal and not of child bearing potential if they have had 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea with an appropriate clinical profile (e.g. age appropriate, history of vasomotor symptoms) or have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks ago. In the case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment is she considered not of child bearing potential. Highly effective contraception methods include:
* Sacituzumab Govitecan is administered on days 1 and 8 of a 21 day cycle. * Talazoparib is administered daily
