TRODELVY® is the first, approved Trop-2-directed ADC (antibody-drug conjugate)

TRODELVY® significantly improved survival in as early as 2L mTNBC1,2


Trodelvy as monotherapy is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) who have received two or more prior systemic therapies, including at least one of them for advanced disease.

The primary endpoint was PFS in patients without brain metastases at baseline (88% of the overall study population).

The improvements primary analysis population were- median PFS: 5.6 months vs 1.7 months; HR: 0.41; P<.0001; In the ITT population median PFS: 4.8 months with TRODELVY (95% CI: 4.1-5.8) (n=267) vs 1.7 months with TPC single-agent chemotherapy (95% CI: 1.5-2.5) (n=262); HR: 0.43 (95% CI: 0.35-0.54) P<.0001.1



˄The ASCENT trial was an international, multi centre, open-label, randomised phase 3 clinical trial, conducted in 529 patients (61 patients had brain metastases, 468 patients did not have known brain metastases) with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer who had relapsed after at least 2 prior lines of chemotherapy (one of which could be in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting provided progression occurred within a 12-month period after completion of treatment), which evaluated Trodelvy® as compared with treatment of physician’s choice. Patients were randomised 1:1 to receive Trodelvy® (n=267) or physician’s choice of single-agent chemotherapy (n=262; eribulin, vinorelbine, capecitabine, or gemcitabine). The primary endpoint was PFS in patients without brain metastases at baseline (88% of the overall study population), as measured by BICR based on RECIST v1.1 criteria.1


* Assessed by independent central review in the ITT population. The improvements in PFS and OS in the ITT population were consistent with the primary analysis population (The primary analysis population consisted of patients without present or prior history of brain metastases at baseline (n=468). The improvements primary analysis population were- median PFS: 5.6 months vs 1.7 months; HR: 0.41; P<.0001; median OS: 12.1 months vs 6.7 months; P<.0001, OS rate at 24 months was 22.4% (95% CI, 16.8-28.5) with TRODELVY® vs 5.2% (95% CI, 2.5-9.4) with Single-agent chemotherapy.2,3

Trodelvy® is the first and only approved Trop-2-directed antibody-drug conjugate that selectively delivers a cytotoxic payload, SN-38, to cancer cells, including triple-negative and HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer cells, and the tumor microenvironment through a bystander effect.1,4


Trodelvy molecule components

Trodelvy® works by targeting Trop-2 to deliver SN-38 to triple-negative breast cancer tumours1


Trodelvy1

The proposed MOA is based on preclinical data, which may not correlate with clinical outcomes.

Trop-2 is overexpressed in triple-negative breast cancer cells

Trodelvy® binds to Trop-2 which is overexpressed in a high percentage of triple-negative breast cancer tumors, but with limited expression in normal tissue.2,4,5

SN-38 payload

Trodelvy® carries SN-38 (active metabolite of irinotecan), a topoisomerase 1 inhibitor.5

High drug-to-antibody ratio (almost 8:1)

Allows Trodelvy® to deliver a higher concentration of SN-38 to triple-negative breast cancer cells and microenvironment.5

Treatment pathway

Proposed treatment pathway for adult patients progressing from earlier stage or refractory/relapsed metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.*1


Progression to mTNBC

*Earlier adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment for more limited disease will qualify as one of the required prior regimens.1

Proposed treatment pathway for adult patients diagnosed with De novo metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.1


Diagnosed in early stage TNBC

Trodelvy® significantly improved survival in as early as second-line or later metastatic triple-negative breast cancer when compared to single-agent chemotherapy.2*


ASCENT: a landmark, Phase 3 study assessing survival in >500 patients with pretreated mTNBC*1

The ASCENT trial was an international, multicentre, open-label, randomised phase 3 study to investigate Trodelvy® in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer who had relapsed after at least 2 prior lines of chemotherapy (one of which could be in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting provided progression occurred within a 12-month period after completion of treatment).2

Health related quality of life

In an assessment of patient-reported outcomes in the ASCENT trial, Trodelvy was generally associated with greater improvements and delayed worsening of HRQoL scores compared with TPC.6

    Trodelvy demonstrated superiority versus TPC in the following primary HRQoL domains6:

  • • Global health status/QoL
  • • Physical functioning
  • • Fatigue
  • • Pain

TPC-treatment of physician choice


In the phase 3 ASCENT trial of patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer:

  • Trodelvy® had a well-characterized and generally manageable safety profile2
  • 5% of patients in both arms discontinued for any adverse reaction2

Safety profile

Adverse events of special interest in the ASCENT trial2

This is not an exhaustive list. For full details of adverse events, please refer to the Trodelvy® prescription information approved by Israeli Ministry of Health.1

*Combined preferred terms of “Neutropenia” and “Decreased neutrophil count”.2 **Combined preferred terms of “Anaemia”, “Decreased haemoglobin” and “Decreased red-cell count”.2 †Combined preferred terms of “Leukopenia” and “Decreased white blood cell count”.2

The most common adverse reactions reported in patients treated with sacituzumab govitecan were: neutropenia (67.6%), nausea (62.6%), diarrhoea (62.5%), fatigue (61.5%), alopecia (45.6%), anaemia (40.7%), constipation (36.2%), vomiting (33.6%), decreased appetite (25.7%), dyspnoea (22.1%) and abdominal pain (20.2%).1

Adverse events leading to discontinuation were infrequent in both arms of the study

  • Neutropenia* or febrile neutropenia did not lead to any permanent discontinuation4
  • No patients discontinued treatment because of diarrhoea4

*Combined preferred terms of “neutropenia” and “decreased neutrophil count”.2

Learn how to appropriately dose and administer Trodelvy®*.

The recommended dose of Trodelvy® is 10 mg/kg administered as an IV infusion once weekly on Days 1 and 8 of 21-day treatment cycle.1

Method of administration1

The infusion rate of TRODELVY should be slowed down or infusion interrupted if the patient develops an infusion-related reaction. Grade ≥3 infusion reactions occurred in 1.9% of patients receiving TRODELVY (n=7/366).

Pre-infusion medication1

Consider antiemetic preventive treatment with 2 or 3 medicinal products to prevent and treat chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), e.g.:

    –  
  • Dexamethasone with either a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist or NK-1 receptor antagonist
  • –  
  • Other drugs as indicated

Pre-infusion medication is recommended to prevent infusion reactions, e.g.:

    –  
  • Antipyretics
  • –  
  • H1 and H2 blockers
  • –  
  • Corticosteroids
