“SABCS25 Highlight — New Treatment Algorithm for mTNBC from Sara Tolaney

One of the updates from SABCS25 is this proposed new therapeutic algorithm for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) — integrating recent advances across antibody–drug conjugates, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy.

PD-L1–positive (1L)

  •  Sacituzumab govitecan + pembrolizumab emerges as a frontline option.

PD-L1–negative (1L)

  •  Datopotamab deruxtecan, reshaping expectations for ADCs in early lines.
  •  Sacituzumab govitecan or PARP inhibitors (olaparib/talazoparib) for BRCA-mutated disease. • Reinforces the importance of germline testing early. 2L and beyond
  •  Movement toward sequencing ADCs: SG → T-DXd (if HER2-low).
  •  Continued role of PARP inhibitors in BRCA mutation carriers. •

Chemotherapy reserved for later lines or biomarker-directed choices (MSI-H, TMB-H, NTRK/RET fusions).

Why this matters This evolving landscape highlights:

  • The shift toward ADC-first strategies in mTNBC
  • The growing relevance of HER2-low classification even in TNBC
  • The need for comprehensive biomarker testing at diagnosis
  • A clearer, more personalized roadmap for sequencing therapies

mTNBC is rapidly changing — these updates may redefine frontline and subsequent treatment decisions globally.”
