This phase 3 randomized trial compared sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT), an antibody-drug conjugate, to physician's choice treatment in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer who had previously received platinum-based chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Sac-TMT demonstrated significant improvements in both progression-free survival and overall survival compared to standard treatment options. The results indicate sac-TMT could serve as a new therapeutic standard for this patient population with limited effective treatment alternatives.


Endometrial cancer patients who have exhausted first-line chemotherapy and immunotherapy options face poor prognoses with few effective treatments available. This study provides evidence for a new targeted therapy that extends both the time before disease progression and overall survival, offering meaningful clinical benefit to a patient population with significant unmet medical needs.


Sac-TMT significantly improved progression-free survival and overall survival versus TPC in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy and immunotherapy. These findings support sac-TMT as a new standard of care for patients with endometrial cancer who have received chemotherapy and immunotherapy and have few effective treatment options.
