Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions for TRODELVY in Combination with Pembrolizumab or Pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa-pmph
Interrupt or discontinue one or both drugs of the combination or reduce the dose of TRODELVY to manage adverse reactions as appropriate. Refer to the prescribing information for pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa-pmph for recommendations on dosage interruption or discontinuation due to adverse reactions. For TRODELVY dosage modifications, refer to Table 1 and Table 2.
Preparation and Administration
Reconstitution
- TRODELVY is a hazardous drug. Follow applicable special handling and disposal procedures 1 .
- Calculate the required dose (mg) of TRODELVY based on the patient's current body weight [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] .
- 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 reconstituted TRODELVY 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.
- 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 a polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene/polyethylene, polyolefin, or ethylene vinyl acetate 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 at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for up to 24 hours protected from light. After refrigeration, administer diluted solution at room temperature up to 25°C (77°F) within 8 hours (including infusion time). Do Not Freeze or Shake.
Administration
- Administer TRODELVY as an intravenous infusion.
- First infusion: Administer over 3 hours. Observe patients during the infusion and for at least 30 minutes following the initial dose, for signs or symptoms of infusion-related reactions [see Warning and Precautions (5.3) ] .
- Second and subsequent infusions : Administer over 1 to 2 hours if prior infusions were tolerated. Observe patients during the infusion and for at least 30 minutes after 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 in the same intravenous line, with other medicinal products.
- Upon completion of the infusion, flush the intravenous line with 20 mL 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
- Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. (8.2 )
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 (12.1) and Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ] . 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 Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . 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 (13.1) ] .
Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness of TRODELVY have not been established in pediatric patients.
Geriatric Use
As a Single Agent
Of the 641 patients with TNBC who were treated with TRODELVY in clinical studies, 20% of patients were 65 years and older and 5% were 75 years and older. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between patients ≥ 65 years of age and younger adult patients. Patients 65 and older had an increased incidence of neutropenia with fatal outcomes.
Of the 322 patients with HR+/HER2- breast cancer who were treated with TRODELVY, 26% of patients were 65 years and older and 6% were 75 years and older. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between patients ≥ 65 years of age and younger patients. There was a higher discontinuation rate due to adverse reactions in patients aged 65 years or older (14%) compared with younger patients (3%).
In Combination with Pembrolizumab
Of the 221 patients with TNBC who were treated with TRODELVY in combination with pembrolizumab in ASCENT-04, 26% of patients were 65 years and older and 5% were 75 years and older. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between patients ≥ 65 years of age and younger adult patients. There was a higher rate of serious adverse reactions in patients aged 65 years or older (31%) compared with younger adult patients (26%).
Hepatic Impairment
The safety of TRODELVY in patients with moderate (total bilirubin > 1.5 to 3 Ă— ULN) or severe (total bilirubin > 3 Ă— ULN) hepatic impairment has not been established. TRODELVY has not been evaluated in patients with AST or ALT > 3 ULN without liver metastases, or AST or ALT > 5 ULN with liver metastases.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
TRODELVY is contraindicated in patients who have experienced a severe hypersensitivity reaction to TRODELVY [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] .
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
- Hypersensitivity and Infusion-Related Reactions : Hypersensitivity reactions including severe anaphylactic reactions have been observed. Monitor patients for infusion-related reactions. Permanently discontinue TRODELVY if severe or life-threatening reactions occur. (5.3 )
- Nausea/Vomiting : Use antiemetic preventive treatment and withhold TRODELVY for patients with Grade 3 nausea or Grade 3-4 vomiting at the time of scheduled treatment. (5.4 )
- Patients with Reduced UGT1A1 Activity : Individuals who are homozygous for the UGT1A1•28 allele are at increased risk for neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, and anemia following initiation of TRODELVY. (5.5 )
- Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : TRODELVY can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. (5.6 , 8.1 , 8.3 )
Neutropenia
TRODELVY can cause severe, life-threatening, or fatal neutropenia as early as the first cycle of treatment. Neutropenia occurred in 64% of patients treated with TRODELVY. Grade 3-4 neutropenia occurred in 48% of patients. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 6% of patients. The median time to first onset of neutropenia (including febrile neutropenia) was 19 days (range: 1 to 1022 days). Neutropenia occurred earlier in patients with reduced UGT1A1 activity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] . Neutropenic colitis occurred in 1.4% of patients.
Primary prophylaxis with G-CSF is recommended starting in the first cycle of treatment in all patients at increased risk of febrile neutropenia, including older patients, patients with previous neutropenia, poor performance status, organ dysfunction, or multiple comorbidities [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ] .
Monitor absolute neutrophil count (ANC) during treatment. Withheld TRODELVY for ANC below 1500/mm 3 on Day 1 of any cycle or below 1000/mm 3 on Day 8 of any cycle. Withhold TRODELVY for neutropenic fever. Dose modifications may be required due to neutropenia. Treat neutropenia with G-CSF and administer prophylaxis in subsequent cycles as clinically indicated or indicated in Table 2 [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] .
Diarrhea
TRODELVY can cause severe diarrhea. Diarrhea occurred in 62% of all patients treated with TRODELVY. Grade 3-4 diarrhea occurred in 10% of all patients treated with TRODELVY. One patient had intestinal perforation following diarrhea. Diarrhea that led to dehydration and subsequent acute kidney injury occurred in 0.6% of all 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 (2.4) ].
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 replacement) 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
TRODELVY can cause serious hypersensitivity reactions including life-threatening anaphylactic reactions. Severe signs and symptoms included cardiac arrest, hypotension, wheezing, angioedema, swelling, and skin reactions [see Contraindications (4) ] .
Hypersensitivity reactions occurred in 28% of patients treated with TRODELVY with 13% occurring within 24 hours of dosage. Grade 3-4 hypersensitivity occurred in 1.5% of patients treated with TRODELVY with 0.4% of these occurring within 24 hours of dosage. The incidence of hypersensitivity reactions leading to permanent discontinuation of TRODELVY was 0.4%. The incidence of anaphylactic reaction was <0.1%.
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 (2.1) ].
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 (2.3) ] .
Permanently discontinue TRODELVY for Grade 4 infusion-related reactions [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] .
Nausea and Vomiting
TRODELVY is emetogenic and can cause severe nausea and vomiting. Nausea occurred in 63% of all patients treated with TRODELVY. Grade 3-4 nausea occurred in 3% of patients.
Vomiting occurred in 33% of all patients treated with TRODELVY. Grade 3-4 vomiting occurred in 2% of these patients.
Premedicate with a two or three drug combination regimen (e.g., dexamethasone with either a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist or an NK 1 receptor antagonist as well as other drugs as indicated) for prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) [ see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ].
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 (2.4) ].
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 1202 patients who received TRODELVY and had UGT1A1 genotype results. In patients homozygous for the UGT1A1 •28 allele (n=138), the incidence of Grade 3-4 neutropenia was 57%. In patients heterozygous for the UGT1A1•28 allele (n=531), the incidence of Grade 3-4 neutropenia was 48%. In patients homozygous for the wild-type allele (n=533), the incidence of Grade 3-4 neutropenia was 41% [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.5) ] . In patients homozygous for the UGT1A1 •28 allele, the incidence of Grade 3-4 anemia was 17%. In patients heterozygous for the UGT1A1•28 allele, the incidence of Grade 3-4 anemia was 9%. In patients homozygous for the wild-type allele, the incidence of Grade 3-4 anemia was 8%.
The median time to first neutropenia including febrile neutropenia was 9 days in patients homozygous for the UGT1A1•28 allele, 19 days in patients heterozygous for the UGT1A1•28 allele, and 21 days in patients homozygous for the wild-type allele. The median time to first anemia was 22 days in patients homozygous for the UGT1A1•28 allele, 29 days in patients heterozygous for the UGT1A1•28 allele, and 29 days in patients homozygous for the wild-type allele.
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 (2.4) ].
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 (12.1) and Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ]. 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 (8.1 , 8.3) ] .
ADVERSE REACTIONS
The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the label:
- Neutropenia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]
- Diarrhea [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]
- Hypersensitivity and Infusion-Related Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ]
- Nausea and Vomiting [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ]
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.

DRUG INTERACTIONS
- UGT1A1 Inhibitors or Inducers : Avoid concomitant use. (7 )
Effect of Other Drugs on TRODELVY
UGT1A1 Inhibitors
Avoid administering UGT1A1 inhibitors with TRODELVY.
SN-38 is a UGT1A1 substrate. 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 Precaution (5.5) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3 , 12.5) ] .
UGT1A1 Inducers
Avoid administering UGT1A1 inducers with TRODELVY.
SN-38 is a UGT1A1 substrate. Concomitant administration of TRODELVY with inducers of UGT1A1may reduce exposure to SN-38 [see Warnings and Precaution (5.5) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3 , 12.5) ] .
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 IgG1Îş (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, 71.7 mg 2-(N-morpholino) ethane sulfonic acid (MES), 1.8 mg polysorbate 80 and 153.99 mg trehalose. 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.
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
At the recommended dose, the maximum mean change from baseline was 9.7 msec (the upper bound of the two-sided 90% confidence interval is 16.8 msec). The increase in QTc was concentration dependent based on SN-38 concentrations.
Pharmacokinetics
The serum pharmacokinetics of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy and SN-38 were estimated in patients with mBC who received sacituzumab govitecan-hziy at the approved recommended dosage as a single agent or in combination with pembrolizumab and are presented as mean (%CV) unless otherwise specified. The pharmacokinetic parameters of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy and free SN-38 are presented in Table 13. No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of sacituzumab govitecan or SN-38 were observed when coadministered with pembrolizumab.
| Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (N=827) | Free SN-38 (N=827) | |
|---|---|---|
| C max : maximum serum concentration from 0-168 hours after the first dose | ||
| AUC 0-168h : area under serum concentration curve through 168 hours after the first dose | ||
| C max [ng/mL] | 25,7107 (18%) | 108 (39%) |
| AUC 0-168h [ng•h/mL] | 12,049,500 (18%) | 3,510 (63%) |
Distribution
Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy steady state volume of distribution is 4.6 L.
Elimination
The median elimination half-life (t 1/2 ) of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy is 6.5 days and free SN-38 is 22 hours. The terminal half-life (t 1/2 ) of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy is 6.7 days (23%) and the apparent half-life (t 1/2 ) of free SN-38 is 24 hours (50%). The clearance of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy is 0.13 L/h (20%).
Renal elimination is known to contribute minimally to the excretion of SN-38, the small molecule moiety of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy.
Metabolism
No metabolism studies with sacituzumab govitecan-hziy were 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
No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy were observed based on: age (27 to 88 years), race (75% White, 8% Asian, or 5% Black), or CLcr 30 to 89 mL/min. There are no data on the pharmacokinetics of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy in patients with CLcr 15 to 29 mL/min, or end-stage renal disease (CLcr < 15 mL/min).
Patients with Hepatic Impairment
The exposure of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy for patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ ULN with AST > ULN, or bilirubin > 1 to ≤ 1.5 ULN with any AST) is within range of that of patients with normal hepatic function (total bilirubin and AST < ULN).
Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy and free SN-38 exposures are unknown in patients with moderate (total bilirubin > 1.5 to 3 Ă— ULN) or severe (total bilirubin > 3 Ă— ULN) hepatic impairment.
Drug Interaction Studies
No drug-drug interaction studies were conducted with sacituzumab govitecan-hziy or its components. Inhibitors or inducers of UGT1A1 may increase or decrease SN-38 exposure, respectively.
Pharmacogenomics
SN-38 is metabolized via UGT1A1 [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Genetic variants of the UGT1A1 gene such as the UGT1A1•28 allele lead to reduced UGT1A1 enzyme activity. Individuals who are homozygous or heterozygous for the UGT1A1•28 allele are at increased risk for neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, and anemia from TRODELVY compared to individuals who are wildtype (•1/•1) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ].
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 (•28/•28). Approximately 40% of the Black or African American population, 50% of the White population, and 25% of the East Asian population are heterozygous for the UGT1A1•28 allele (•1/•28). Decreased function alleles other than UGT1A1•28 may be present in certain populations.
Immunogenicity
The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of ADA in the studies described below with the incidence of ADA in other studies, including those of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy or of other sacituzumab govitecan products.
Among patients who received TRODELVY as a single agent over a median 5-month treatment period across 5 clinical studies, 1.2% (13/1058) of patients developed treatment-emergent ADA to sacituzumab govitecan and 77% (10/13) of ADA-positive patients developed neutralizing antibodies against sacituzumab govitecan. Among patients who received TRODELVY in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab in ASCENT-04, no treatment-emergent ADA was observed in 207 patients who were evaluable for ADA incidence. Because of the low occurrence of anti-drug antibodies, the effect of these antibodies on the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and/or effectiveness of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy is unknown.
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 ( ³ 6 times the human recommended dose of 10 mg/kg based on body weight).
CLINICAL STUDIES
Locally Advanced or Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)
Single Agent in Previously Untreated, Unresectable Locally Advanced or Metastatic TNBC
ASCENT-03
The efficacy of TRODELVY was evaluated in ASCENT-03 (NCT05382299), a multicenter, open-label, randomized study that enrolled 558 patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who had not received previous systemic therapy for advanced disease and who were not candidates for PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor therapy. Patients were enrolled if:
- Their tumors were PD-L1 negative (defined as having a tumor CPS < 10 using the IHC 22C3 assay), or
- Their tumors were PD-L1 positive (defined as having a CPS ≥ 10 using the IHC 22C3 assay) and they had received a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor in the (neo)adjuvant setting or if they had a comorbidity precluding treatment with a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor.
Patients were excluded if they had received anticancer treatment or surgery within the previous 6 months, had active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and ECOG performance status (PS) >1.
Randomization was stratified by de novo metastatic disease vs recurrent disease within 6 to 12 months from completion of treatment in the curative setting versus recurrent disease > 12 months from completion of treatment in the curative setting, and by geographic region (United States/Canada/Western Europe vs. Rest of World).
Patients were randomized (1:1) to one of the following treatment arms; all study medications were administered via intravenous infusion:
- TRODELVY 10 mg/kg on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle (n=279)
- nab-paclitaxel 100mg/m 3 on Days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle (n=110), paclitaxel 90 mg/m 2 on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle (n=45), or gemcitabine 1000 mg/m 2 and carboplatin AUC2 on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle (n=124)
Assessment of tumor status was performed every 6 weeks for the first year followed by every 12 weeks thereafter. Crossover to TRODELVY monotherapy was allowed at the time of disease progression and study treatment discontinuation. The primary efficacy outcome was progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1). Additional efficacy outcomes measures included overall survival (OS) and objective response rate (ORR).
The median age was 55 years (range: 23-86 years), 26% age 65 or older; 99.5% female; 64% White, 23% Asian, 4.5% American Indian or Alaskan Native, 3.0% Black; and 5.2% not specified , 72% non-Hispanic/non-Latino, 27% Hispanic/Latino, and 0.9% not reported; and 66% ECOG PS of 0 and 34% ECOG PS of 1. Of patients enrolled 31% had de novo disease, 21% had recurrent disease with a disease-free interval (DFI) of 6 to 12 months and 48% had recurrent disease with a DFI of > 12 months. Seventy-six percent of patients had visceral metastasis at baseline; and 5% had previously treated brain metastases. The majority of patients (99.5%) had tumor CPS < 10, and 0.4% had tumor CPS ≥ 10.
The trial demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in PFS. The OS data were immature and a total of 283 (51%) patients had died across both study arms.

In Combination with Pembrolizumab in Previously Untreated, Unresectable Locally Advanced or Metastatic TNBC whose tumors express PD-L1
ASCENT-04
The efficacy of TRODELVY in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab was evaluated in ASCENT-04 (NCT5382286) a multicenter, open-label, randomized study that enrolled 443 patients with locally advanced or metastatic TNBC who had not received previous systemic therapy for advanced disease and whose tumors express PD-L1 (CPS ≥ 10)] according to the PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx assay. Patients may have received chemotherapy with or without a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor and/or radiotherapy in early-stage TNBC: however, at least 6 months must have elapsed between the completion of systemic breast cancer therapy or surgery, and first local or distant recurrence. Patients with active autoimmune disease that required systemic therapy within 2 years or treatment or a medical condition that required immunosuppression were ineligible.
Randomization was stratified by de novo metastatic disease versus disease recurrence within 6 to 12 months from completion of treatment in the curative setting versus disease recurrence > 12 months from completion of treatment in the curative setting, by geographic region (United States/ Canada/ Western Europe versus rest of world), and prior exposure to PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor (yes versus no).
Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive one of the following treatment arms; all study medications were administered via intravenous infusion:
- TRODELVY 10 mg/kg on Day 1 and 8 of 21-day cycles in combination with pembrolizumab 200 mg on Day 1 of 21-day cycles (n=221)
- nab-paclitaxel 100 mg/m 2 on Days 1, 8 and 15 every 28 days (n=69), paclitaxel 90 mg/m 2 on Days 1, 8, and 15 every 28 days (n=45), or gemcitabine 1000 mg/m 2 and carboplatin AUC 2 mg/mL/min on Days 1 and 8 every 21 days in combination with pembrolizumab 200 mg on Day 1 of 21-day cycles (n=108)
Assessment of tumor status was performed every 8 weeks for the first 18 months followed by every 12 weeks thereafter. Treatment beyond BICR-verified PD per RECIST was permitted if the patient was clinically stable and there was evidence of clinical benefit per the investigator. Crossover to TRODELVY monotherapy was allowed following disease progression and study treatment discontinuation. The primary efficacy outcome was progression-free survival (PFS) by BICR per RECIST v1.1. Additional efficacy outcomes measures included overall survival (OS) and objective response rate (ORR).
The median age was 55 years (range: 23-88 years); 26% age 65 years or older; 100% female; 58% White, 24% Asian, 6% American Indian or Alaska Native, 5% Black, and 6.5% not specified ; 29% Hispanic/Latino, 69% non-Hispanic/non-Latino and 2.0% not reported; and 70% ECOG PS of 0, 30% ECOG PS of 1, and 0.2% ECOG PS of 2. Of the patients enrolled 34% had de novo metastatic disease, 18% had recurrent disease with a DFI of 6 to 12 months and 48% had recurrent DFI of > 12 months. Sixty-five percent of patients had visceral metastasis at baseline; and 3% of patients had previously treated brain metastasis.
The trial demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in PFS. The OS data were immature and a total of 203 (46%) patients had died across both study arms.

Previously Treated, Locally Advanced or Metastatic TNBC
ASCENT
The efficacy of TRODELVY was evaluated in ASCENT (NCT02574455), a multicenter, open-label, randomized study conducted in 529 patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic TNBC who were previously treated with at least two prior lines of chemotherapy, one of which could be in the neoadjuvant setting provided progression occurred within a 12-month period. Patients were required to have received treatment with a taxane (unless contraindicated or not tolerated) in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant, or advanced setting. Patients with brain metastases were eligible to enroll up to a pre-defined maximum of 15% of patients. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine brain metastases was required prior to enrollment for patients with known or suspected brain metastases. Patients with known Gilbert’s disease or bone-only disease were excluded.
Randomization was stratified by the number of prior chemotherapies (2-3 vs > 3), geographic region (North America vs Europe), and presence of brain metastasis (yes vs no).
Patients were randomized (1:1) to one of the following treatment arms:
- TRODELVY 10 mg/kg via intravenous infusion on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle (n=267)
- eribulin 1.23 or 1.4 mg/m 2 via intravenous infusion on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle (n=139), capecitabine 1000-1250 mg/m 2 orally twice daily on days 1-14 of a 21-day cycle (n=33), gemcitabine 800-1200 mg/m 2 via intravenous infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28 day cycle (n=38), or vinorelbine 25 mg/m 2 via intravenous infusion on Day 1 weekly (n=52).
Assessment of tumor status was performed every 6 weeks for 36 weeks, then every 9 weeks thereafter. The primary efficacy outcome was progression-free survival (PFS) in patients without brain metastases at baseline (BICR per RECIST v1.1). Additional efficacy outcome measures included PFS for the full population and overall survival (OS).
The median age was 54 years (range: 27 to 82 years); 19% age 65 or older; 99.6% female; 79% White, 12% Black, 4.2% Asian and 5% not specified; 43% ECOG PS 0 and 57% ECOG PS 1; and 8.1% with BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations. Forty-two percent of patients had hepatic metastases, and 12 had previously treated, stable brain metastases. Twenty-nine percent received prior PD-1/PD-L1 therapy and 13% in the TRODELVY arm received only 1 prior line of systemic therapy in the metastatic setting.
The study demonstrated a statistically significant PFS. 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.

Figure 4: Kaplan-Meier Plot of OS (All Randomized Patients) in ASCENT

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 IMMU-132-01 (NCT01631552) a multicenter, single-arm, study that enrolled 108 patients with metastatic TNBC who had received at least two prior anticancer therapies for metastatic disease. Patients with bulky disease, defined as a mass > 7 cm and patients with known Gilbert’s disease were ineligible. Patients with treated brain metastases not receiving high dose steroids (> 20 mg prednisone or equivalent) for at least four weeks were eligible.
Patients received TRODELVY 10 mg/kg via intravenous infusion on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle.
Assessment of tumor status was performed every 8 weeks, with confirmatory scans obtained 4-6 weeks after an initial partial or complete response. The primary efficacy outcome measure was overall response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1. Duration of response (DoR) per RECIST v 1.1 was an additional efficacy outcome.
The median age was 55 years (range: 31 to 80 years); 13% age 65 years or older; 99% female; 76% White, 7% Black, 2.8% Asian, and 0.9% American Indian or Alaska Native; 7% Hispanic/Latino and 93% non-Hispanic/non-Latino; 29% EGOC PS 0 and 71% ECOG PS 1; and 11% had Stage IV disease at the time of initial diagnosis. Seventy-six percent had visceral disease, 42% had hepatic metastases, 56% had lung/pleura metastases, and 2% had brain metastases. The median number of prior systemic therapies received in the metastatic setting was 3 (range: 2 to 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%). Ninety-eight percent had received prior taxanes and 86% had received prior anthracyclines either in the (neo)adjuvant or metastatic setting.

Locally Advanced or Metastatic HR-Positive, HER2-Negative Breast Cancer
TROPiCS-02 Study
The efficacy of TRODELVY was evaluated in TROPiCS-02 (NCT 03901339), a multicenter, open label, randomized study conducted in 543 patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HR-positive, HER2-negative (IHC 0, IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH–) breast cancer whose disease has progressed after the following in any setting: a CDK 4/6 inhibitor, endocrine therapy, and a taxane. Patients must have received at least two prior chemotherapies in the metastatic setting (one of which could be in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting if recurrence occurred within 12 months).
Randomization was stratified by prior chemotherapy regimens for metastatic disease (2 vs. 3-4), visceral metastasis (Yes or No), and endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting for at least 6 months (Yes or No).
Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive one of the following treatment arms:
- TRODELVY 10 mg/kg via an intravenous infusion on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle (n=272)
- eribulin 1.23 or 1.4 mg/m 2 via intravenous infusion on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle (n=130), vinorelbine 25 mg/m 2 via intravenous infusion on day 1 of a weekly cycle (n=63), gemcitabine 800 to 1200 mg/m 2 via intravenous infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle (n=56), or capecitabine 1000 to 1250 mg/m 2 orally twice daily on days 1-14 of a 21-day cycle (n=22).
Assessment of tumor status was performed every 6 weeks for the first 54 weeks followed by every 12 weeks thereafter. Treatment beyond RECIST-defined disease progression was permitted if the patient was clinically stable and considered by the investigator to be deriving clinical benefit. The primary efficacy outcome measure was PFS by BICR per RECIST v1.1. Additional efficacy measures included OS, ORR by BICR, and DOR by BICR.
The median age was 56 years (range: 27–86 years); 26% of patients were 65 years or older; 99% female; 67% White, 3.9% Black, 2.9% Asian, and 26% unknown race; and 45% ECOG PS 0 and 55% ECOG PS 1. Ninety-five percent of patients had visceral metastases. Patients received a median of 7 (range: 3 to 17) prior systemic regimens in any setting and 3 (range: 0 to 8) prior systemic chemotherapy regimens in the metastatic setting. Approximately 42% of patients had 2 prior chemotherapy regimens for treatment of metastatic disease compared to 58% of patients who had 3 to 4 prior chemotherapy regimens. Eighty-six percent of patients received endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting for ³ 6 months.
The trial demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in PFS and OS.

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.
