If your cancer is Triple Negative (TNBC) and you've already had two or more therapies for metastatic disease, then you're eligible to receive the newly-approved drug Trodelvy (Sacituzumab Govitecan – formerly IMMU-132).

Trodelvy, which is administered intravenously, consists of the chemotherapy drug irinotecan linked with an antibody targeted against TROP-2, a cell-surface protein that is expressed in more than 90% of TNBC.FDA approval was based upon a Phase 1/2 trial of 108 TNBC MBC patients who had previously undergone a median of three prior lines of therapy (80% of whom had visceral metastases).The results of the study determined that the median Progression-Free Survival (PFS) was 5.5 months and the median Overall Survival (OS) was 13.0 months.
