TRODELVY(TM) (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy) is a Trop-2-directed antibody and topoisomerase inhibitor conjugate that received accelerated approval for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) who have received at least two prior therapies for metastatic disease.
Trodelvy is indicated for intravenous infusion only, with the recommended dose being 10 mg/kg once weekly on Days 1 and 8 of continuous 21-day treatment cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Warnings for Trodelvy include severe neutropenia and diarrhea. Trodelvy should be withheld when the absolute neutrophil count falls below 1500/mm3 or
neutropenic fever. Monitor blood cell counts periodically during treatment. Consider G-CSF for
secondary prophylaxis. Initiate anti-infective treatment in patient with febrile neutropenia without delay
Other precautions include hypersensitivity reactions, nausea vomiting (anitemetic prevention recommended), and embryo-fetal toxicity. Additionally, patients with who are homozygous for the uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyl transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1)*28 allele are at increased risk for neutropenia following initiation of treatment.
Most common adverse reactions (incidence >25%) include; nausea, neutropenia, diarrhea, fatigue, anemia, vomiting, alopecia, constipation, rash, decreased appetite, and abdominal pain.
