Trodelvy® (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy)
Real-World Data in mTNBC
This document summarizes real‑world evidence on SG in mTNBC from multiple studies (N≥50), focusing on patient characteristics, line of therapy (LOT), efficacy, and safety. It is not intended to be comprehensive; additional real-world evidence summaries are available for specific topics, including antibody-drug conjugate sequencing, use in Asian patients, and neutropenia incidence and management.
Some data may be outside of the US FDA-approved prescribing information. In providing this data, Gilead Sciences, Inc. is not making any representation as to its clinical relevance or to the use of any Gilead product(s). For information about the approved conditions of use of any Gilead drug product, please consult the FDA-approved prescribing information.

Relevant Product Labeling1
SG, as a single agent, is indicated for the first-line (1L) treatment of adult patients with unresectable locally advanced or mTNBC who are not candidates for programmed death (ligand) 1 inhibitor-based therapy.
SG is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable locally advanced or mTNBC who have received ≥2 prior systemic therapies, ≥1 of them for metastatic disease.
Real-World Data on SG Use in mTNBC
Summaries of real-world studies that evaluated SG use in patients with mTNBC are shown in Table 1.2-22

aECOG PS was missing/unknown at BC diagnosis in 377, 254, 211, and 43 pts in the 2L, 3L combined, 3La, and 3Lm cohorts, respectively; at initiation in 78 and 45 pts in the 2L and 3L combined cohorts; and at initiation of 3L in 394 pts in the 2L cohort.
bOf the 3 patients who died, 2 events were due to neutropenia. One of these events was considered treatment
related, and the patient was not treated with G-CSF. The third death was due to pulmonary embolism.
c7 patients treated with SG in the 1L were excluded from this analysis.
dGrade was unknown in 2 pts (3.6%) who reported diarrhea.
