Overview
11 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 IgG1κ (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...
Mechanism of Action
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 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. 12.

Black Box Warning
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.

Interactions
- 7 DRUG INTERACTIONS UGT1A1 inhibitors or inducers: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on TRODELVY UGT1A1 Inhibitors 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 Warning and Precaution (5.5) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3 , 12.5) ] . Avoid administering UGT1A1 inhibitors with TRODELVY. UGT1A1 Inducers Exposure to SN-38 may be reduced in patients concomitantly receiving UGT1A1 enzyme inducers [see Warning and Precaution (5.
