Hi everyone,

My mother has TNBC with mets to liver. Our doctor has recommended Trodelvy however we don't live in US. I was wondering if anyone was able to obtain trodelvy outside of United States ?

Thank you :)

    Thank you so much! We live in Turkey, however I don't believe many people heard Trodelvy here. Our doctor suggested it very recently as a final solution.

    We applied for a permission from the Turkish Institute of Drugs and Medical Services so that Trodelvy could be shipped here and prescribed by a Turkish doctor. However, after we get the permission it's not clear where we can buy the drug. Trodelvy's official website does not have that information and it says the information is for US audiences only. So I was wondering if there were anyone who obtained the drug from outside of US and what was the process like ?

    Thanks🙏

    Dear handediguzel,

    Here is a link to another thread on clinical trials where members are trying to help a member find a drug trial in Iran. We will see what else we can find.

    I contacted Immunomedics, thank you! I am so grateful to everyone who replied to my post so fast. This is an amazing community, connecting people from all around the world :)

    To help people living outside of US, I might have found a useful information. Gilead has distributors in most countries. So finding those people in your country can help you get more infromation on this drug.
