Trodelvy: animal efficacy model or human cells?

sacituzumab govitecan · Trop-2
Efficacy evidence
Mouse xenografts bearing human Trop-2-expressing tumours
“Primary pharmacology was tested in murine xenograft models bearing human Trop-2 expressing tumors.”
✓ VerifiedEMA assessment report, p. 23Source ↗
Why that model
hRS7 does not bind mouse or rat Trop-2 despite ~80% homology
“Despite approx. 80% sequence homology at the protein level between human and rodent Trop-2, hRS7 did not bind to mouse and rat Trop-2.”

Reviewer's view of the efficacy data
EMA: adequate pharmacodynamic data; ADC inhibits Trop-2-positive tumour growth in vitro and in mouse xenografts
“The applicant has presented adequate non-clinical data which characterise the pharmacodynamic properties of sacituzumab govitecan. These data were presented in research study reports and in form of publications from the group in scientific journals. The ADC inhibits growth of Trop-2-positive tumour cells, including TNBC cells, in vitro as well as in xenograft transplant models in mice.”
