Warnings for Trodelvy
Included as part of the PRECAUTIONS section.
Precautions for Trodelvy
Neutropenia
TRODELVY can cause severe, life-threatening, or fatal neutropenia as early as the first cycle of treatment. Neutropenia occurred in 64% of patients treated with TRODELVY. Grade 3-4 neutropenia occurred in 49% of patients. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 6% of patients. The median time to first onset of neutropenia (including febrile neutropenia) was 16 days (range: 1 to 435 days). Neutropenia occurred earlier in patients with reduced UGT1A1 activity [see WARNING AND PRECAUTIONS]. Neutropenic colitis occurred in 1.4% of patients.
Primary prophylaxis with G-CSF is recommended starting in the first cycle of treatment in all patients at increased risk of febrile neutropenia, including older patients, patients with previous neutropenia, poor performance status, organ dysfunction, or multiple comorbidities.
Monitor absolute neutrophil count (ANC) during treatment. Withhold TRODELVY for ANC below 1500/mm³ on Day 1 of any cycle or below 1000/mm³ on Day 8 of any cycle. Withhold TRODELVY for neutropenic fever. Dose modifications may be required due to neutropenia. Treat neutropenia with G-CSF and administer prophylaxis in subsequent cycles as clinically indicated or indicated in Table 2 [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Diarrhea
TRODELVY can cause severe diarrhea. Diarrhea occurred in 64% of all patients treated with TRODELVY. Grade 3-4 diarrhea occurred in 11% of all patients treated with TRODELVY. One patient had intestinal perforation following diarrhea. Diarrhea that led to dehydration and subsequent acute kidney injury occurred in 0.7% of all patients.
Withhold TRODELVY for Grade 3-4 diarrhea at the time of scheduled treatment administration and resume when resolved to ≤ Grade 1 [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
At the onset of diarrhea, evaluate for infectious causes and if negative, promptly initiate loperamide, 4 mg initially followed by 2 mg with every episode of diarrhea for a maximum of 16 mg daily. Discontinue loperamide 12 hours after diarrhea resolves. Additional supportive measures (e.g., fluid and electrolyte substitution) may also be employed as clinically indicated.
Patients who exhibit an excessive cholinergic response to treatment with TRODELVY (e.g., abdominal cramping, diarrhea, salivation, etc.) can receive appropriate premedication (e.g., atropine) for subsequent treatments.
Hypersensitivity And Infusion-Related Reactions
TRODELVY can cause serious hypersensitivity reactions including life-threatening anaphylactic reactions. Severe signs and symptoms included cardiac arrest, hypotension, wheezing, angioedema, swelling, pneumonitis, and skin reactions [see CONTRAINDICATIONS].
Hypersensitivity reactions within 24 hours of dosing occurred in 35% of patients treated with TRODELVY. Grade 3-4 hypersensitivity occurred in 2% of patients treated with TRODELVY. The incidence of hypersensitivity reactions leading to permanent discontinuation of TRODELVY was 0.2%. The incidence of anaphylactic reactions was 0.2%.
Premedication for infusion reactions in patients receiving TRODELVY is recommended. Have medications and emergency equipment to treat infusion-related reactions, including anaphylaxis, available for immediate use when administering TRODELVY [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Closely monitor patients for hypersensitivity and infusion-related reactions during each TRODELVY infusion and for at least 30 minutes after completion of each infusion [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Permanently discontinue TRODELVY for Grade 4 infusion-related reactions [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Nausea And Vomiting
TRODELVY is emetogenic and can cause severe nausea and vomiting. Nausea occurred in 64% of all patients treated with TRODELVY. Grade 3-4 nausea occurred in 3% of patients.
Vomiting occurred in 35% of all patients treated with TRODELVY. Grade 3-4 vomiting occurred in 2% of these patients.
Premedicate with a two or three drug combination regimen (e.g., dexamethasone with either a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist or an NK1 receptor antagonist as well as other drugs as indicated) for prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Withhold TRODELVY doses for Grade 3 nausea or Grade 3-4 vomiting at the time of scheduled treatment administration and resume with additional supportive measures when resolved to ≤ Grade 1 [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Additional antiemetics and other supportive measures may also be employed as clinically indicated. All patients should be given take-home medications with clear instructions for prevention and treatment of nausea and vomiting.
Increased Risk Of Adverse Reactions In Patients With Reduced UGT1A1 Activity
Patients homozygous for the uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyl transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1)*28 allele are at increased risk for neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, and anemia; and may be at increased risk for other adverse reactions when treated with TRODELVY.
The incidence of neutropenia and anemia was analyzed in 948 patients who received TRODELVY and had UGT1A1 genotype results. In patients homozygous for the UGT1A1 *28 allele (n=112), the incidence of Grade 3-4 neutropenia was 58%. In patients heterozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele (n=420), the incidence of Grade 3-4 neutropenia was 49%. In patients homozygous for the wild-type allele (n=416), the incidence of Grade 3-4 neutropenia was 43% [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. In patients homozygous for the UGT1A1 *28 allele, the incidence of Grade 3-4 anemia was 21%.
In patients heterozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele, the incidence of Grade 3-4 anemia was 10%. In patients homozygous for the wild-type allele, the incidence of Grade 3-4 anemia was 9%.
The median time to first neutropenia including febrile neutropenia was 9 days in patients homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele, 15 days in patients heterozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele, and 20 days in patients homozygous for the wild-type allele. The median time to first anemia was 21 days in patients homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele, 25 days in patients heterozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele, and 28 days in patients homozygous for the wild-type allele.
Closely monitor patients with known reduced UGT1A1 activity for adverse reactions. Withhold or permanently discontinue TRODELVY based on clinical assessment of the onset, duration and severity of the observed adverse reactions in patients with evidence of acute early-onset or unusually severe adverse reactions, which may indicate reduced UGT1A1 enzyme activity [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
Based on its mechanism of action, TRODELVY can cause teratogenicity and/or embryo-fetal lethality when administered to a pregnant woman. TRODELVY contains a genotoxic component, SN-38, and targets rapidly dividing cells [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY and Nonclinical Toxicology]. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TRODELVY and for 6 months after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TRODELVY and for 3 months after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].
Patient Counseling Information
Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (PATIENT INFORMATION)
Neutropenia
Advise patients of the risk of neutropenia. Instruct patients to immediately contact their healthcare provider if they experience fever, chills, or other signs of infection [see WARNING AND PRECAUTIONS].
Diarrhea
Advise patients of the risk of diarrhea. Instruct patients to immediately contact their healthcare provider if they experience diarrhea for the first time during treatment; black or bloody stools; symptoms of dehydration such as lightheadedness, dizziness, or faintness; inability to take fluids by mouth due to nausea or vomiting; or inability to get diarrhea under control within 24 hours [see WARNING AND PRECAUTIONS].
Hypersensitivity And Infusion-Related Reactions
Inform patients of the risk of serious infusion reactions and anaphylaxis. Instruct patients to immediately contact their healthcare provider if they experience facial, lip, tongue, or throat swelling, urticaria, difficulty breathing, lightheadedness, dizziness, chills, rigors, wheezing, pruritus, flushing, rash, hypotension, or fever that occur during or within 24 hours following the infusion [see WARNING AND PRECAUTIONS].
Nausea/Vomiting
Advise patients of the risk of nausea and vomiting. Premedication according to established guidelines with a two or three drug regimen for prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is also recommended. Additional antiemetics, sedatives, and other supportive measures may also be employed as clinically indicated. All patients should receive take-home medications for preventing and treating delayed nausea and vomiting, with clear instructions. Instruct patients to immediately contact their healthcare provider if they experience uncontrolled nausea or vomiting [see WARNING AND PRECAUTIONS].
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
Advise female patients to contact their healthcare provider if they are pregnant or become pregnant. Inform female patients of the risk to a fetus and potential loss of the pregnancy [see Use In Specific Populations].
Contraception
Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 6 months after the last dose of TRODELVY [see Use In Specific Populations].
Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 3 months after the last dose of TRODELVY [see Use In Specific Populations].
Lactation
Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 1 month after the last dose of TRODELVY [see Use In Specific Populations].
Infertility
Advise females of reproductive potential that TRODELVY may impair fertility [see Use In Specific Populations].
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility
Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with sacituzumab govitecan-hziy.
SN-38 was clastogenic in an in vitro mammalian cell micronucleus test in Chinese hamster ovary cells and was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay.
Fertility studies with sacituzumab govitecan-hziy have not been conducted. In a repeat-dose toxicity study in cynomolgus monkeys, intravenous administration of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy on Day 1 and Day 4 resulted in endometrial atrophy, uterine hemorrhage, increased follicular atresia of the ovary, and atrophy of vaginal epithelial cells at doses ≥ 60 mg/kg (≥ 6 times the human recommended dose of 10 mg/kg based on body weight).
Use In Specific Populations
Pregnancy
Risk Summary
Based on its mechanism of action, TRODELVY can cause teratogenicity and/or embryo-fetal lethality when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. TRODELVY contains a genotoxic component, SN-38, and is toxic to rapidly dividing cells [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY and Nonclinical Toxicology]. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus.
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2–4% and 15–20%, respectively.
Data
Animal Data
There were no reproductive and developmental toxicology studies conducted with sacituzumab govitecan-hziy.
Lactation
Risk Summary
There is no information regarding the presence of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy or SN-38 in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 1 month after the last dose of TRODELVY.
Females And Males Of Reproductive Potential
Pregnancy Testing
Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to the initiation of TRODELVY.
Contraception
Females
TRODELVY can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use In Specific Populations]. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TRODELVY and for 6 months after the last dose.
Males
Because of the potential for genotoxicity, advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TRODELVY and for 3 months after the last dose.
Infertility
Females
Based on findings in animals, TRODELVY may impair fertility in females of reproductive potential [see Nonclinical Toxicology].
Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness of TRODELVY have not been established in pediatric patients.
Geriatric Use
Of the 366 patients with TNBC who were treated with TRODELVY, 19% of patients were 65 years and 3% were 75 years and older. Patients 65 and older had an increased incidence of neutropenia, including fatal outcomes. No other differences in safety and effectiveness were observed between patients ≥ 65 years of age and younger patients.
Of the 322 patients with HR+/HER2- breast cancer who were treated with TRODELVY, 26% of patients were 65 years and older and 6% were 75 years and older. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between patients ≥ 65 years of age and younger patients. There was a higher discontinuation rate due to adverse reactions in patients aged 65 years or older (14%) compared with younger patients (3%).
Hepatic Impairment
No adjustment to the starting dosage is required when administering TRODELVY to patients with mild hepatic impairment [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
The safety of TRODELVY in patients with moderate (total bilirubin > 1.5 to 3.0 x ULN) or severe (total bilirubin > 3.0 x upper limit of normal [ULN]) hepatic impairment has not been established. TRODELVY has not been tested in patients with AST or ALT > 3 ULN without liver metastases, or AST or ALT > 5 ULN with liver metastases. No recommendations can be made for the starting dosage in these patients.
