Boxed warning

NEUTROPENIA AND DIARRHEA TRODELVY can cause severe, life-threatening, or fatal neutropenia. Withhold TRODELVY for absolute neutrophil count below 1500/mm 3 or neutropenic fever. Monitor blood cell counts periodically during treatment. Primary prophylaxis with G-CSF is recommended for all patients at increased risk of febrile neutropenia [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . Initiate anti-infective treatment in patient with febrile neutropenia without delay [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. TRODELVY can cause severe diarrhea. Monitor patients with diarrhea and give fluid and electrolytes as needed. At the onset of diarrhea, evaluate for infectious causes and, if negative, promptly initiate loperamide [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. If severe diarrhea occurs, withhold TRODELVY until resolved to ≤ Grade 1 and reduce subsequent doses [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ].

Warnings & precautions

Sourced from openFDA

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 uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyl transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1)*28 allele are at increased risk for neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, and anemia following initiation of TRODELVY treatment. ( 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 ) 5.1 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 49% of patients. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 6% of patients. The median time to first onset of neutropenia (including febrile neutropenia) was 16 days (range: 1 to 435 days). Neutropenia occurred earlier in patients with reduced UGT1A1 activity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] . Neutropenic colitis occurred in 1.4% of patients.

Use in specific populations

Sourced from openFDA

Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 ) 8.1 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. 8.2 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.

Pharmacokinetics

Sourced from openFDA
Metabolism
The serum pharmacokinetics of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy and SN-38 were evaluated in patients with mBC 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 9.

Overdosage

Sourced from openFDA

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.
