TROP2 expression
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.
Overview
Sacituzumab govitecan (Trodelvy) is labelled for triple-negative and HR-positive HER2-negative breast cancer and urothelial cancer, datopotamab deruxtecan (Datroway) for HR-positive HER2-negative breast cancer and EGFR-mutant NSCLC, in both cases without a TROP2 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.

- Effect · signal, damage or kill
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.
You will not be tested for TROP2 before sacituzumab govitecan or datopotamab deruxtecan; the labels do not require it because nearly all eligible cancers express it. A computerised TROP2 score is under study in lung cancer and may become a selection test later.

The label names the antigen in the drug's description but does not require it to be measured before treatment; no approval threshold exists for this readout.
