What is the most important information I should know about TRODELVY?
TRODELVY can cause serious side effects, including:
- Low white blood cell count (neutropenia). Low white blood cell counts are common with TRODELVY and can sometimes be severe and lead to infections that can be life-threatening or cause death. Your healthcare provider should check your blood cell counts during treatment with TRODELVY. If your white blood cell count is too low, your healthcare provider may need to lower your dose of TRODELVY, give you a medicine to help prevent low blood cell count with future doses of TRODELVY, or in some cases may stop TRODELVY. Your healthcare provider may need to give you antibiotic medicines if you develop fever while your white blood cell count is low. Call your healthcare provider right away if you develop any of the following signs of infection during treatment with TRODELVY:
- fever
- chills
- cough
- shortness of breath
- burning or pain when you urinate
- Severe diarrhea. Diarrhea is common with TRODELVY and can also be severe. Your healthcare provider should monitor you for diarrhea and give you medicine as needed to help control your diarrhea. If you lose too much body fluids (dehydration) your healthcare provider may need to give you fluids and electrolytes to replace body salts. If diarrhea happens later in your treatment, your healthcare provider may check you to see if the diarrhea may be caused by an infection. Your healthcare provider may decrease your dose or stop TRODELVY if your diarrhea is severe and cannot be controlled with anti-diarrheal medicines.
- Call your healthcare provider right away:
- the first time that you get diarrhea during treatment with TRODELVY
- if you have black or bloody stools
- if you have symptoms of losing too much body fluid (dehydration) and body salts, such as lightheadedness, dizziness or faintness
- if you are unable to take fluids by mouth due to nausea or vomiting
- if you are not able to get your diarrhea under control within 24 hours
What is TRODELVY?
TRODELVY is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with:
- a type of breast cancer that is estrogen and progesterone hormone receptor (HR) negative, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative (also called triple-negative breast cancer). TRODELVY may be used:
- when your breast cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery, and
- if you previously received two or more prior treatments, including at least one treatment for metastatic disease.
- bladder cancer and cancers of the urinary tract that have spread or cannot be removed by surgery. TRODELVY may be used if you have:
- received a platinum-containing chemotherapy medicine and
- also received an immunotherapy medicine.
It is not known if TRODELVY is safe and effective in people with moderate or severe liver problems.
It is not known if TRODELVY is safe and effective in children.
Do not receive TRODELVY if you have had a severe allergic reaction to TRODELVY. Ask your healthcare provider if you are not sure.

What are the ingredients in TRODELVY?
Active ingredient: sacituzumab govitecan-hziy
Inactive ingredients: 2-(N-morpholino) ethane sulfonic acid (MES), polysorbate 80 and trehalose dihydrate
The Patient Information has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Description
Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy is a Trop-2 directed antibody and topoisomerase inhibitor conjugate, composed of the following three components:
- the humanized monoclonal antibody, hRS7 IgG1κ (also called sacituzumab), which binds to Trop-2 (the trophoblast cell-surface antigen-2);
- the drug SN-38, a topoisomerase inhibitor;
- a hydrolysable linker (called CL2A), which links the humanized monoclonal antibody to SN-38.
The recombinant monoclonal antibody is produced by mammalian (murine myeloma) cells, while the small molecule components SN-38 and CL2A are produced by chemical synthesis. Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy contains on average 7 to 8 molecules of SN-38 per antibody molecule. Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy has a molecular weight of approximately 160 kilodaltons. Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy has the following chemical structure.
TRODELVY (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy) for injection is a sterile, preservative-free, off-white to yellowish lyophilized powder for intravenous use in a 50 mL clear glass single-dose vial, with a rubber stopper and crimp-sealed with an aluminum flip-off cap.
Each single-dose vial of TRODELVY delivers 180 mg sacituzumab govitecan-hziy, 77.3 mg 2-(N-morpholino) ethane sulfonic acid (MES), 1.8 mg polysorbate 80 and 154 mg trehalose dihydrate. Reconstitution with 20 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, results in a concentration of 10 mg/mL with a pH of 6.5.
Indications
Locally Advanced Or Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
TRODELVY is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic triplenegative breast cancer (mTNBC) who have received two or more prior systemic therapies, at least one of them for metastatic disease.
Locally Advanced Or Metastatic Urothelial Cancer
TRODELVY is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC) who have previously received a platinum-containing chemotherapy and either programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) or programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor.
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on tumor response rate and duration of response [see Clinical Studies]. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.
Dosage And Administration
Important Use Information
Do NOT substitute TRODELVY for or use with other drugs containing irinotecan or its active metabolite SN-38.
Recommended Dose And Schedule
The recommended dose of TRODELVY is 10 mg/kg administered as an intravenous infusion once weekly on Days 1 and 8 of 21-day treatment cycles. Continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Do not administer TRODELVY at doses greater than 10 mg/kg.

Preparation And Administration
Reconstitution
- TRODELVY is a hazardous drug.
- Follow applicable special handling and disposal procedures1.
- Calculate the required dose (mg) of TRODELVY based on the patient’s body weight at the beginning of each treatment cycle (or more frequently if the patient’s body weight changed by more than 10% since the previous administration) [see Recommended Dose And Schedule].
- Allow the required number of vials to warm to room temperature.
- Using a sterile syringe, slowly inject 20 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, into each 180 mg TRODELVY vial. Each vial contains overfill to compensate for liquid loss during preparation and after reconstitution, the total resulting volume delivers a concentration of 10 mg/mL.
- Gently swirl vials and allow to dissolve for up to 15 minutes. Do not shake. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. The solution should be free of visible particulates, clear and yellow. Do not use the reconstituted solution if it is cloudy or discolored.
- Use immediately to prepare a diluted TRODELVY infusion solution.
Dilution
- Calculate the required amount of the reconstituted TRODELVY solution needed to obtain the appropriate dose according to the patient’s body weight.
- Determine the final volume of the infusion solution to deliver the appropriate dose at a TRODELVY concentration range of 1.1 mg/mL to 3.4 mg/mL (the total volume should not exceed 500 mL for patients weighing less than or equal to 170 kg). For patients whose body weight exceeds 170 kg, divide the total calculated dose between two 500 mL infusion bags. The 2 bags should be infused sequentially over the total calculated infusion time of TRODELVY in order to deliver the full dose.
- Use 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP only since the stability of the reconstituted TRODELVY solution has not been determined with other infusion-based solutions. Use polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene or ethylene/propylene copolymer infusion bag.
- Withdraw and discard the volume of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP from the final infusion bag that is necessary to achieve the indicated TRODELVY concentration following the addition of the calculated amount of reconstituted TRODELVY solution.
- Withdraw the calculated amount of the reconstituted TRODELVY solution from the vial(s) using a syringe. Discard any unused portion remaining in the vial(s).
- To minimize foaming, slowly inject the calculated amount of reconstituted TRODELVY solution into the infusion bag. Do not shake the contents.
- If not used immediately, the infusion bag containing TRODELVY solution can be stored refrigerated 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for up to 4 hours protected from light. After refrigeration, administer diluted solution within 6 hours (including infusion time).
Do Not Freeze or Shake.
Administration
- Administer TRODELVY as an intravenous infusion. Protect infusion bag from light. The infusion bag should be covered during administration to the patient until dosing is complete. It is not necessary to cover the infusion tubing or to use light-protective tubing during the infusion.
- An infusion pump may be used.
- Do not mix TRODELVY, or administer as an infusion, with other medicinal products.
- Upon completion of the infusion, flush the intravenous line with 20 mL 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP.

Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
The pooled safety population described in the Warnings and Precautions section reflect exposure to TRODELVY as a single agent in 795 patients from three studies, IMMU-132-01, IMMU-132-05 and IMMU-132-06 which included 366 patients with mTNBC who had received prior systemic chemotherapy for advanced disease and 180 patients with mUC. TRODELVY was administered as an intravenous infusion once weekly on Days 1 and 8 of 21-day treatment cycles at doses of 10 mg/kg until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Among the 795 patients treated with TRODELVY, the median duration of treatment was 4.1 months (range: 0 to 59 months). In this pooled safety population, the most common (≥ 25%) adverse reactions were neutropenia (61%), nausea (66%), diarrhea (65%), fatigue (62%), alopecia (45%), anemia (42%), vomiting (39%), constipation (37%), decreased appetite (34%), rash (32%) and abdominal pain (28%).
Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
ASCENT Study
The safety of TRODELVY was evaluated in a randomized, active-controlled, open-label trial (ASCENT) in patients with mTNBC who had previously received a taxane and at least two prior therapies. Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive either TRODELVY (n=258) or single agent chemotherapy (n=224) and were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity [see Clinical Studies]. For patients treated with TRODELVY, the median duration of treatment was 4.4 months (range: 0 to 23 months).
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 27% of patients receiving TRODELVY. Serious adverse reactions in > 1% of patients receiving TRODELVY included neutropenia (7%), diarrhea (4%), and pneumonia (3%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1.2% of patients who received TRODELVY, including respiratory failure (0.8%) and pneumonia (0.4%). TRODELVY was permanently discontinued for adverse reactions in 5% of patients. Adverse reactions leading to permanent discontinuation in ≥ 1 % of patients who received TRODELVY were pneumonia (1%) and fatigue (1%).
Adverse reactions leading to a treatment interruption of TRODELVY occurred in 63% of patients. The most frequent (≥5%) adverse reactions leading to a treatment interruption were neutropenia (47%), diarrhea (5%), respiratory infection (5%), and leukopenia (5%).
Adverse reactions leading to a dose reduction of TRODELVY occurred in 22% of patients. The most frequent (>4%) adverse reactions leading to a dose reduction were neutropenia (11%) and diarrhea (5%).
Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) was used in 44% of patients who received TRODELVY.

Study IMMU-132-01
The safety of TRODELVY was evaluated in a single-arm, open-label study (IMMU-132-01) in patients with mTNBC and other malignancies, which included 108 patients with mTNBC who had received at least two prior treatments for metastatic disease [see Clinical Studies]. TRODELVY was administered as an intravenous infusion once weekly on Days 1 and 8 of 21-day treatment cycles at doses up to 10 mg/kg until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median treatment duration in these 108 patients was 5.1 months (range: 0-51 months).
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 31% of the patients. Serious adverse reactions in >1% of patients receiving TRODELVY included febrile neutropenia (6%) vomiting (5%), nausea (3%), dyspnea (3%), diarrhea (4%), anemia (2%), pleural effusion, neutropenia, pneumonia, dehydration (each 2%).
TRODELVY was permanently discontinued for adverse reactions in 2% of patients. Adverse reactions leading to permanent discontinuation were anaphylaxis, anorexia/fatigue, headache (each 0.9%). Forty- five percent (45%) of patients experienced an adverse reaction leading to treatment interruption. The most common adverse reaction leading to treatment interruption was neutropenia (33%). Adverse reactions leading to dose reduction occurred in 33% of patients treated with TRODELVY, with 24% having one dose reduction, and 9% with two dose reductions. The most common adverse reaction leading to dose reductions was neutropenia/febrile neutropenia.

Immunogenicity
As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of antibodies in other studies or to other sacituzumab govitecan products may be misleading.
The analysis of immunogenicity of TRODELVY in serum samples from 106 patients with mTNBC was evaluated using an electrochemiluminescence (ECL)-based immunoassay to test for anti-sacituzumab govitecan-hziy antibodies. Detection of the anti-sacituzumab govitecan-hziy antibodies was done using a 3-tier approach: screen, confirm, and titer. Persistent anti-sacituzumab govitecan-hziy antibodies developed in 2% (2/106) of patients.
Drug Interactions
Effect Of Other Drugs On TRODELVY
UGT1A1 Inhibitors
Concomitant administration of TRODELVY with inhibitors of UGT1A1 may increase the incidence of adverse reactions due to potential increase in systemic exposure to SN-38 [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. Avoid administering UGT1A1 inhibitors with TRODELVY.
UGT1A1 Inducers
Exposure to SN-38 may be substantially reduced in patients concomitantly receiving UGT1A1 enzyme inducers [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. Avoid administering UGT1A1 inducers with TRODELVY.
WarningS
Included as part of the “PRECAUTIONS” Section
Precautions
Neutropenia
Severe, life-threatening, or fatal neutropenia can occur in patients treated with TRODELVY. Neutropenia occurred in 61% of patients treated with TRODELVY. Grade 3-4 neutropenia occurred in 47% of patients. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 7% of patients.
Withhold TRODELVY for absolute neutrophil count below 1500/mm3 on Day 1 of any cycle or neutrophil count below 1000/mm3 on Day 8 of any cycle. Withhold TRODELVY for neutropenic fever. Dose modifications may be required due to neutropenia. [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Diarrhea
TRODELVY can cause severe diarrhea. Diarrhea occurred in 65% of all patients treated with TRODELVY. Grade 3-4 diarrhea occurred in 12% of all patients treated with TRODELVY. One patient had intestinal perforation following diarrhea. Neutropenic colitis occurred in 0.5% of patients.
Withhold TRODELVY for Grade 3-4 diarrhea at the time of scheduled treatment administration and resume when resolved to ≤Grade 1 [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
At the onset of diarrhea, evaluate for infectious causes and if negative, promptly initiate loperamide, 4 mg initially followed by 2 mg with every episode of diarrhea for a maximum of 16 mg daily. Discontinue loperamide 12 hours after diarrhea resolves. Additional supportive measures (e.g., fluid and electrolyte substitution) may also be employed as clinically indicated.
Patients who exhibit an excessive cholinergic response to treatment with TRODELVY (e.g., abdominal cramping, diarrhea, salivation, etc.) can receive appropriate premedication (e.g., atropine) for subsequent treatments.
Hypersensitivity And Infusion-Related Reactions
Serious hypersensitivity reactions including life-threatening anaphylactic reactions have occurred with TRODELVY treatment. Severe signs and symptoms included cardiac arrest, hypotension, wheezing, angioedema, swelling, pneumonitis, and skin reactions [see CONTRAINDICATIONS] .
Hypersensitivity reactions within 24 hours of dosing occurred in 37% of patients treated with TRODELVY. Grade 3-4 hypersensitivity occurred in 2% of patients treated with TRODELVY. The incidence of hypersensitivity reactions leading to permanent discontinuation of TRODELVY was 0.3%. The incidence of anaphylactic reactions was 0.3%.
Premedication for infusion reactions in patients receiving TRODELVY is recommended. Have medications and emergency equipment to treat infusion-related reactions, including anaphylaxis, available for immediate use when administering TRODELVY [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Closely monitor patients for hypersensitivity and infusion-related reactions during each TRODELVY infusion and for at least 30 minutes after completion of each infusion [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Permanently discontinue TRODELVY for Grade 4 infusion-related reactions [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Nausea And Vomiting
TRODELVY is emetogenic. Nausea occurred in 66% of all patients treated with TRODELVY. Grade 3 nausea occurred in 4% of patients.
Vomiting occurred in 39% of all patients treated with TRODELVY. Grade 3-4 vomiting occurred in 3% of these patients.
Premedicate with a two or three drug combination regimen (e.g., dexamethasone with either a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist or an NK1 receptor antagonist as well as other drugs as indicated) for prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Withhold TRODELVY doses for Grade 3 nausea or Grade 3-4 vomiting at the time of scheduled treatment administration and resume with additional supportive measures when resolved to ≤Grade 1 [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Additional antiemetics and other supportive measures may also be employed as clinically indicated. All patients should be given take-home medications with clear instructions for prevention and treatment of nausea and vomiting.
Increased Risk Of Adverse Reactions In Patients With Reduced UGT1A1 Activity
Patients homozygous for the uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyl transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1)*28 allele are at increased risk for neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, and anemia; and may be at increased risk for other adverse reactions when treated with TRODELVY.
The incidence of neutropenia and anemia was analyzed in 701 patients who received TRODELVY and had UGT1A1 genotype results. In patients homozygous for the UGT1A1 *28 allele (n=87), the incidence of Grade 3-4 neutropenia was 67%. In patients heterozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele (n=301), the incidence of Grade 3-4 neutropenia was 46%. In patients homozygous for the wild-type allele (n=313), the incidence of Grade 3-4 neutropenia was 46% [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. In patients homozygous for the UGT1A1 *28 allele, the incidence of Grade 3-4 anemia was 25%. In patients heterozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele, the incidence of Grade 3-4 anemia was 10%. In patients homozygous for the wild-type allele, the incidence of Grade 3-4 anemia was 11%.
Closely monitor patients with known reduced UGT1A1 activity for adverse reactions. Withhold or permanently discontinue TRODELVY based on clinical assessment of the onset, duration and severity of the observed adverse reactions in patients with evidence of acute early-onset or unusually severe adverse reactions, which may indicate reduced UGT1A1 enzyme activity [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
Based on its mechanism of action, TRODELVY can cause teratogenicity and/or embryo-fetal lethality when administered to a pregnant woman. TRODELVY contains a genotoxic component, SN-38, and targets rapidly dividing cells [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY and Nonclinical Toxicology]. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TRODELVY and for 6 months after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TRODELVY and for 3 months after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].
Patient Counseling Information
Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (PATIENT INFORMATION)
Neutropenia
Advise patients of the risk of neutropenia. Instruct patients to immediately contact their healthcare provider if they experience fever, chills, or other signs of infection [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Diarrhea
Advise patients of the risk of diarrhea. Instruct patients to immediately contact their healthcare provider if they experience diarrhea for the first time during treatment; black or bloody stools; symptoms of dehydration such as lightheadedness, dizziness, or faintness; inability to take fluids by mouth due to nausea or vomiting; or inability to get diarrhea under control within 24 hours [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Hypersensitivity And Infusion-Related Reactions
Inform patients of the risk of serious infusion reactions and anaphylaxis. Instruct patients to immediately contact their healthcare provider if they experience facial, lip, tongue, or throat swelling, urticaria, difficulty breathing, lightheadedness, dizziness, chills, rigors, wheezing, pruritus, flushing, rash, hypotension, or fever that occur during or within 24 hours following the infusion [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Nausea/Vomiting
Advise patients of the risk of nausea and vomiting. Premedication according to established guidelines with a two or three drug regimen for prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is also recommended. Additional antiemetics, sedatives, and other supportive measures may also be employed as clinically indicated. All patients should receive take-home medications for preventing and treating delayed nausea and vomiting, with clear instructions. Instruct patients to immediately contact their healthcare provider if they experience uncontrolled nausea or vomiting [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
Advise female patients to contact their healthcare provider if they are pregnant or become pregnant. Inform female patients of the risk to a fetus and potential loss of the pregnancy [see Use In Specific Populations].
Contraception
Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 6 months after the last dose of TRODELVY [see Use In Specific Populations].
Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 3 months after the last dose of TRODELVY [see Use In Specific Populations].
Lactation
Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 1 month after the last dose of TRODELVY [see Use In Specific Populations].

Advise females of reproductive potential that TRODELVY may impair fertility [see Use In Specific Populations].
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility
Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with sacituzumab govitecan-hziy.
SN-38 was clastogenic in an in vitro mammalian cell micronucleus test in Chinese hamster ovary cells and was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay.
Fertility studies with sacituzumab govitecan-hziy have not been conducted. In a repeat-dose toxicity study in cynomolgus monkeys, intravenous administration of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy on Day 1 and Day 4 resulted in endometrial atrophy, uterine hemorrhage, increased follicular atresia of the ovary, and atrophy of vaginal epithelial cells at doses ≥60 mg/kg (≥ 6 times the human recommended dose of 10 mg/kg based on body weight).
Use In Specific Populations
Pregnancy
Risk Summary
Based on its mechanism of action, TRODELVY can cause teratogenicity and/or embryo-fetal lethality when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. TRODELVY contains a genotoxic component, SN-38, and is toxic to rapidly dividing cells [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY and Nonclinical Toxicology]. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus.
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 – 4% and 15 – 20%, respectively.
Data
Animal data
There were no reproductive and developmental toxicology studies conducted with sacituzumab govitecan-hziy.
Lactation
Risk Summary
There is no information regarding the presence of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy or SN-38 in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 1 month after the last dose of TRODELVY.
Females And Males Of Reproductive Potential
Pregnancy Testing
Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to the initiation of TRODELVY.
Contraception
Females
TRODELVY can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Pregnancy]. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TRODELVY and for 6 months after the last dose.
Males
Because of the potential for genotoxicity, advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TRODELVY and for 3 months after the last dose.
Infertility
Females
Based on findings in animals, TRODELVY may impair fertility in females of reproductive potential [see Nonclinical Toxicology].
Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness of TRODELVY have not been established in pediatric patients.
Geriatric Use
Of the patients who received TRODELVY, 264/795 (33%) of all patients were ≥ 65 years old, and 11% were ≥ 75 years old. No overall differences in safety and effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients.
Hepatic Impairment
No adjustment to the starting dosage is required when administering TRODELVY to patients with mild hepatic impairment [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
The safety of TRODELVY in patients with moderate (total bilirubin > 1.5 to 3.0 × ULN) or severe (total bilirubin > 3.0 × upper limit of normal [ULN]) hepatic impairment has not been established. TRODELVY has not been tested in patients with AST or ALT > 3 ULN without liver metastases, or AST or ALT > 5 ULN with liver metastases. No recommendations can be made for the starting dosage in these patients.
Overdose
In a clinical trial, planned doses of up to 18 mg/kg (approximately 1.8 times the maximum recommended dose of 10 mg/kg) of TRODELVY were administered. In these patients, a higher incidence of severe neutropenia was observed.
Contraindications
TRODELVY is contraindicated in patients who have experienced a severe hypersensitivity reaction to TRODELVY [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Clinical Pharmacology
Mechanism Of Action
Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy is a Trop-2-directed antibody-drug conjugate. Sacituzumab is a humanized antibody that recognizes Trop-2. The small molecule, SN-38, is a topoisomerase I inhibitor, which is covalently attached to the antibody by a linker. Pharmacology data suggest that sacituzumab govitecan-hziy binds to Trop-2-expressing cancer cells and is internalized with the subsequent release of SN-38 via hydrolysis of the linker. SN-38 interacts with topoisomerase I and prevents re-ligation of topoisomerase I-induced single strand breaks. The resulting DNA damage leads to apoptosis and cell death. Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy decreased tumor growth in mouse xenograft models of triple-negative breast cancer.
Pharmacodynamics
The TRODELVY exposure-response relationships and pharmacodynamic time course for efficacy have not been fully characterized.
Cardiac Electrophysiology
The maximum mean change from baseline was 9.7 msec (the upper bound of the two-sided 90% confidence interval is 16.8 msec) at the recommended dose. A positive exposure-response relationship was observed between QTc increases and SN-38 concentrations.
Pharmacokinetics
The serum pharmacokinetics of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy and SN-38 were evaluated in study IMMU132-05 in a population of mTNBC patients who received sacituzumab govitecan-hziy as a single agent at a dose of 10 mg/kg. The pharmacokinetic parameters of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy and free SN-38 are presented in Table 8.
Table 8: Summary of Mean PK Parameters (CV%) of Sacituzumab Govitecan-hziy and Free SN-38
Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy | Free SN-38 | |
Cmax [ng/mL] | 240000 (22.2%) | 90.6 (65.0%) |
AUC0-168 [ng*h/mL] | 5340000 (23.7%) | 2730 (41.1%) |
Cmax: maximum plasma concentration AUC0-168: area under plasma concentration curve through 168 hours |
Distribution
Based on population pharmacokinetic analysis, the central volume distribution of sacituzumab govetican-hziy is 2.96 L.
Elimination
The mean half-life of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy and free SN-38 is 15.3 and 19.7 hours, respectively. Based on population pharmacokinetic analysis, the clearance of the sacituzumab govitecan-hziy is 0.14 L/h.
Metabolism
No metabolism studies with sacituzumab govitecan-hziy have been conducted. SN-38 (the small molecule moiety of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy) is metabolized via UGT1A1. The glucuronide metabolite of SN-38 (SN-38G) was detectable in the serum of patients.
Specific Populations
Pharmacokinetic analyses in patients treated with TRODELVY (n=658) did not identify an effect of age, race, or mild renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy. Renal elimination is known to contribute minimally to the excretion of SN-38, the small molecule moiety of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy. There are no data on the pharmacokinetics of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy in patients with moderate renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (CLcr ≤ 30 mL/min).
The exposure of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy is similar in patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ ULN with AST > ULN, or bilirubin >1.0 to 1.5 ULN with any AST; n=127) to patients with normal hepatic function (total bilirubin or AST ≤ ULN; n=529).
Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy exposure is unknown in patients with moderate (total bilirubin > 1.5 to 3.0 × ULN) or severe (total bilirubin > 3.0 × ULN) hepatic impairment. SN-38 exposure may be elevated in such patients due to decreased hepatic UGT1A1 activity.
Drug Interaction Studies
No drug-drug interaction studies were conducted with sacituzumab govitecan-hziy or its components. Inhibitors or inducers of UGT1A1 are expected to increase or decrease SN-38 exposure, respectively [see DRUG INTERACTIONS].
Pharmacogenomics
SN-38 is metabolized via UGT1A1 [see Pharmacokinetics]. Genetic variants of the UGT1A1 gene such as the UGT1A1*28 allele lead to reduced UGT1A1 enzyme activity. Individuals who are homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele are at increased risk for neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, and anemia from TRODELVY [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]. Approximately 20% of the Black or African American population, 10% of the White population, and 2% of the East Asian population are homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele. Decreased function alleles other than UGT1A1*28 may be present in certain populations.
Clinical Studies
Locally Advanced Or Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
ASCENT
Efficacy was evaluated in a multicenter, open-label, randomized study (ASCENT; NCT02574455) conducted in 529 patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) who had relapsed after at least two prior chemotherapies for breast cancer (one of which could be in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting provided progression occurred within a 12 month period). All patients received previous taxane treatment in either the adjuvant, neoadjuvant, or advanced stage unless there was a contraindication or intolerance to taxanes during or at the end of the first taxane cycle. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine brain metastases was required prior to enrollment for patients with known or suspected brain metastases. Patients with brain metastases were allowed to enroll up to a predefined maximum of 15% of patients in the ASCENT trial. Patients with known Gilbert’s disease or bone-only disease were excluded.
Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive TRODELVY 10 mg/kg as an intravenous infusion on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day (n=267) or physician’s choice of single agent chemotherapy (n=262). Single agent chemotherapy was determined by the investigator before randomization from one of the following choices: eribulin (n=139), capecitabine (n=33), gemcitabine (n=38), or vinorelbine (n=52).
Patients were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The major efficacy outcome was progression-free survival (PFS) in patients without brain metastases at baseline (i.e., BMNeg) as measured by a blinded, independent, centralized review assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 criteria. Additional efficacy measures included PFS for the full population (all patients with and without brain metastases) and overall survival (OS).
The median age of patients in the full population (n = 529) was 54 years (range: 27–82 years); 99.6% were female; 79% were White, 12% were Black/African American; and 81% of patients were < 65 years of age. All patients had an ECOG performance status of 0 (43%) or 1 (57%). Forty-two percent of patients had hepatic metastases, 9% were BRCA1/BRCA2 mutational status positive, and 70% were TNBC at diagnosis. Twelve percent had baseline brain metastases previously treated and stable (n=61; 32 on TRODELVY arm and 29 on single agent chemotherapy arm).
Overall, 29% of patients had received prior PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. Thirteen percent of patients in the TRODELVY group in the full population received only 1 prior line of systemic therapy in the metastatic setting.
The efficacy results are summarized in Table 9 and are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. Efficacy results for the subgroup of patients who had received only 1 prior line of systemic therapy in the metastatic setting (in addition to having disease recurrence or progression within 12 months of neoadjuvant/adjuvant systemic therapy) were consistent with those who had received at least two prior lines in the metastatic setting.

An exploratory analysis of PFS in patients with previously treated, stable brain metastases showed a stratified HR of 0.65 (95% CI: 0.35, 1.22). The median PFS in the TRODELVY arm was 2.8 months (95% CI: 1.5, 3.9) and the median PFS with single agent chemotherapy was 1.6 months (95% CI: 1.3, 2.9). Exploratory OS analysis in the same population showed a stratified HR of 0.87 (95% CI: 0.47, 1.63). The median OS in the TRODELVY arm was 6.8 months (95% CI: 4.7, 14.1) and the median OS with single agent chemotherapy was 7.4 months (95% CI: 4.7, 11.1).
IMMU-132-01
The efficacy of TRODELVY was evaluated in a multicenter, single-arm, trial (NCT01631552) that enrolled 108 patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) who had received at least two prior treatments for metastatic disease. Patients with bulky disease, defined as a mass >7 cm, were not eligible. Patients with treated brain metastases not receiving high dose steroids (>20 mg prednisone or equivalent) for at least four weeks were eligible. Patients with known Gilbert’s disease were excluded.
Patients received TRODELVY 10 mg/kg intravenously on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day treatment cycle. Patients were treated with TRODELVY until disease progression or intolerance to the therapy. Tumor imaging was obtained every 8 weeks, with confirmatory CT/MRI scans obtained 4-6 weeks after an initial partial or complete response, until progression requiring treatment discontinuation. Major efficacy outcome measures were investigator assessed overall response rate (ORR) using RECIST 1.1 and duration of response.
The median age was 55 years (range: 31 – 80 years); 87% of patients were younger than 65 years. The majority of patients were female (99%) and White (76%). At study entry, all patients had an ECOG performance status of 0 (29%) or 1 (71%). Seventy-six percent had visceral disease, 42% had hepatic metastases, 56% had lung/pleura metastases, and 2% had brain metastases. Twelve patients (11%) had Stage IV disease at the time of initial diagnosis.
The median number of prior systemic therapies received in the metastatic setting was 3 (range: 2 – 10). Prior chemotherapies in the metastatic setting included carboplatin or cisplatin (69%), gemcitabine (55%), paclitaxel or docetaxel (53%), capecitabine (51%), eribulin (45%), doxorubicin (24%), vinorelbine (16%), cyclophosphamide (19%), and ixabepilone (8%).
Overall, 98% of patients had received prior taxanes and 86% had received prior anthracyclines either in the (neo)adjuvant or metastatic setting.

Locally Advanced Or Metastatic Urothelial Cancer
The efficacy of TRODELVY was evaluated in TROPHY (IMMU-132-06; NCT03547973), an single-arm, multicenter trial that enrolled 112 patients with locally advanced or mUC who have received prior treatment with a platinumcontaining chemotherapy and either PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor. Patients were administered TRODELVY 10 mg/kg as an intravenous infusion on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day treatment cycle. Prior to the administration of TRODELVY, all patients were treated for prevention of chemotherapy induced nausea, vomiting and infusion reactions. Patients were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
The median age was 66 years (range: 33 to 90 years), 78% were male, 74% were White, 3% Asian, 3% Black and 20% unknown. All patients had a baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 (28%) or 1 (72%). Ninety-six percent of patients had metastatic disease; 67% of patients had visceral metastases, including 34% with liver metastases.
The median number of prior systemic therapies was 3 (range: 1 to 8). Sixty-five percent of patients received prior cisplatin, 21% received prior carboplatin, 13% received both prior cisplatin and carboplatin, and 100% received prior PD- 1 or PD-L1 inhibitor. For 34% of patients, the platinum-containing chemotherapy was received in the neoadjuvant/adjuvant setting only. Nine percent of patients received prior enfortumab vedotin.
The major efficacy outcome measures were the objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR), evaluated by Independent Review Assessment, using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 criteria. Table 11 summarizes the efficacy results.
