Sacituzumab Govitecan (Trodelvy): Patient Guide
Sacituzumab govitecan is an antibody-drug conjugate that delivers a chemotherapy component directly to cancer cells. It is used for certain advanced or metastatic breast cancers, including triple-negative breast cancer and some hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative cases. This guide does not apply to sacituzumab talirinecan, which is a different medicine.
Sacituzumab govitecan is an intravenous cancer treatment used for selected advanced breast cancers, and its schedule and risks should be reviewed with your oncology team. Contact your doctor promptly for severe diarrhea, fever, unusual bleeding, eye symptoms, or signs of an allergic reaction.
This medication carries a boxed (black box) warning — the strongest type of FDA warning. Review the full prescribing information before use.
