As a TROP-2-directed antibody-drug conjugate with an SN-38 payload that has shown preliminary activity in metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC), sacituzumab govitecan (SG) – brand name Trodelvy –was evaluated and compared to current treatments to gauge whether SG objective response rates (ORRs) and median overall survival (OS) outperform the average of 10% ORR and 7 to 8 months OS.  

This new indication marks the second FDA approval for sacituzumab govitecan (Trodelvy, Immunomedics) and was based on the phase 2, single-arm TROPHY-U-01 main efficacy endpoints in objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR). With a relative 5-year survival rate of 5.5%, this is a significant advancement for patients with metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC), the most common type of bladder cancer.
