Trodelvy® (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy)
Vesicant/Irritant Properties and Extravasation
This document is in response to your request for information regarding Trodelvy® (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy [SG]) and the vesicant/irritant properties and extravasation.
Gilead continually assesses safety data from all sources for unidentified drug reactions and updates the product label information accordingly to reflect the safety profile of SG. Because case reports of potential adverse reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish causal relationship to drug exposure. For this reason, Gilead does not provide information from post-marketing spontaneous reports.
Some data may be outside of the US FDA-approved Prescribing Information. In providing this data, Gilead Sciences, Inc. is not making any representation as to its clinical relevance or to the use of any Gilead product(s). For information about the approved conditions of use of any Gilead drug product, please consult the FDA approved prescribing information.

- the drug SN-38, a topoisomerase inhibitor;
- a hydrolysable linker (called CL2A), which links the humanized monoclonal antibody to SN-38.
