This is an open-label, investigator-initiated phase II clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (sac-TMT) monotherapy in patients with recurrent or metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of salivary gland origin and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). A total of 68 patients will be enrolled over in 18-month period, with 34 patients in Cohort A (ACC) and 34 in Cohort B (PTC). All participants will receive sac-TMT at a dose of 4 mg/kg administered intravenously on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle.
The primary endpoint is the objective response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of patients achieving a complete or partial response as assessed by the site investigators. Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, overall survival, disease control rate, safety and tolerability, dose intensity, and relative dose intensity.
Unresectable locally advanced or recurrent/metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma or papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (TROP2) expression testing by immunohistochemistry or other methods is not required for enrollment. Provision of archival tumour tissue (where available) will be requested to support retrospective analysis. Waiver for tissue submission may be granted by the Steering Committee on a case-by-case basis if archival tissue is unavailable or insufficient for analysis.
Age ≥18 years at the time of enrollment (≥21 years in Singapore)
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
Active central nervous system (CNS) metastases - including brain metastases, carcinomatous (leptomeningeal) meningitis, or symptomatic spinal metastases that require radiotherapy or surgical intervention. However, patients with previously treated brain metastases may be enrolled if imaging performed at screening shows radiographic stability for at least 28 days with no evidence of progression, they are clinically stable, and they have not required steroid therapy for at least 14 days before enrollment.
Clinically significant pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, or ascites requiring treatment.
Has a current and past history of documented severe dry eye syndrome, severe Meibomian gland disease and/or blepharitis, or severe corneal disease that prevents/delays corneal healing.
Has uncontrolled, significant cardiovascular disease or cerebrovascular disease, including New York Heart Association Class III or IV congestive heart failure, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, uncontrolled symptomatic arrhythmia, prolongation of QTcF interval to >480 ms, prior treatment history with cardiotoxic agents and/or other serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases within 6 months before enrollment.
