TROP2 is on the surface of most breast and lung cancers. Sacituzumab govitecan and datopotamab deruxtecan are given without measuring it; a computational TROP2 score is being tested as a selector in lung cancer.
In the United States, sacituzumab govitecan (Trodelvy) is labelled for specified unresectable locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative and HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer settings; its urothelial indication was withdrawn on November 22, 2024. The June 24, 2026 first-line TNBC approvals cover monotherapy when PD-1/PD-L1 treatment is unsuitable, or pembrolizumab-based combination therapy when PD-L1 CPS is at least 10. Datopotamab deruxtecan (Datroway) is labelled for specified advanced HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer and EGFR-mutant NSCLC settings, and since May 22, 2026 for unresectable or metastatic TNBC when PD-1/PD-L1 treatment is unsuitable. These breast-cancer indications do not require a TROP2 test; the pembrolizumab combination still requires its separate PD-L1 test. The TROPION-Lung01 exploratory analysis introduced a quantitative continuous scoring (normalised membrane ratio) that separated responders in non-squamous NSCLC; it is being validated prospectively (TROPION-Lung12, NCT06564844 and other studies) and is not in any label.
In plain words · TROP2 is a surface glycoprotein present at high levels on most epithelial cancers (breast, lung, urothelial, gastric, pancreatic) and at low levels on normal tissue. It does not drive the cancer; it is a delivery address, used by the approved ADCs sacituzumab govitecan and datopotamab deruxtecan and by sacituzumab tirumotecan, with a TROP2 PET tracer in development to pick patients.
The U.S. breast-cancer indications for sacituzumab govitecan and datopotamab deruxtecan do not require TROP2 testing. Other requirements still depend on the drug and treatment setting, including PD-L1 testing for the first-line sacituzumab-pembrolizumab combination. A computerised TROP2 score is under study in lung cancer and may become a selection test later.
