ii. Progestogen-only hormonal contraception that inhibits ovulation (oral, injectable, or implantable).
iii. Intrauterine device (IUD). iv. Intrauterine hormone-releasing system. v. Bilateral tubal occlusion. vi. Sexual abstinence (the reliability of abstinence must be evaluated concerning the duration of the clinical study and the participant's lifestyle).

Sacituzumab tirumotecan will be administered by IV infusion on days 1, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. The duration of the sacituzumab tirumotecan infusions should be 90 minutes (±15 minutes), and infusion-related AEs will be monitored.
Drug: Sacituzumab tirumotecan
Sacituzumab tirumotecan should begin within three days of registration. For all study interventions administered based on weight, the participant's weight at screening or at cycle 1, day 1 should be used to calculate the initial dose. The participant's weight will be determined before each dose of sacituzumab tirumotecan. If, at any time throughout the course of treatment, the participant's weight changes by ≥10% from baseline, the dose will be recalculated using this new weight and will be considered the new baseline for all subsequent dosing calculations. The dose(s) of study intervention(s) should be recalculated as needed throughout the study. Dose adjustments for changes in body weight \<10% are permitted per institutional standards. Sacituzumab tirumotecan will be administered by IV infusion on days 1, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. The duration of the sacituzumab tirumotecan infusions should be 90 minutes (±15 minutes), and infusion-related AEs will be monitored.
