1. Why am I being given TRODELVY?

TRODELVY contains the active ingredient sacituzumab govitecan.

TRODELVY belongs to a group of medicines known as anti‐neoplastic (anti‐cancer) agents. There are different classes of anti‐cancer agents.

TRODELVY is designed to work differently to traditional anti‐cancer agents (e.g., chemotherapy).

TRODELVY is made up of three components:

• a monoclonal antibody that recognises and attaches to certain cancer cells, and
• a substance intended to kill cancer cells, and
• a linker that links the antibody to the substance.

TRODELVY is designed to target and deliver the anti‐cancer substance directly to certain cancer cells to stop the growth and spread of the cancer.

TRODELVY is used to treat adults with a type of breast cancer that:

• is oestrogen and progesterone hormone receptor (HR) negative, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)‐negative (also called triple‐negative breast cancer), and
• has spread to other parts of the body or cannot be removed by surgery, and
• has previously been treated with at least two therapies for breast cancer.

2. What should I know before I receive TRODELVY?

Do not use TRODELVY if:

• you are allergic to sacituzumab govitecan, or any of the ingredients listed at the end of this leaflet.
• Always check the ingredients to make sure you can use this medicine.

Check with your doctor if you:

• have any other medical conditions, including:
  – liver problems
  – if you have been told you carry a gene for uridine diphosphate‐glucuronosyl transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1)*28
• take any medicines for any other condition.

During treatment, you may be at risk of developing certain side effects. It is important you understand these risks and how to monitor for them. See additional information under Section 6. Are there any side effects?

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Check with your doctor if you are pregnant or intend to become pregnant.

TRODELVY may cause harm to your unborn baby. You should not become pregnant during treatment with TRODELVY.

If you are a female who can become pregnant:

• Your doctor should do a pregnancy test before you start treatment with TRODELVY.
• You should use effective birth control (contraception) during treatment, and for 6 months after your last dose of TRODELVY.

If you are a male with a female partner who can become pregnant:

TRODELVY may cause fertility problems in females, which could affect your ability to have a baby. Talk to your doctor if fertility is a concern for you.

3. What if I am taking other medicines?

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any other medicines, including any medicines, vitamins or supplements that you buy without a prescription from your pharmacy, supermarket or health food shop.

Some medicines may interfere with TRODELVY and affect how it works.

Medicines that may increase the effect of TRODELVY include:

• Medicines that work by inhibiting an enzyme known as UGT1A1, such as atazanavir sulfate.

Medicines that may reduce the effect of TRODELVY include:

• Medicines that work by inducing an enzyme known as UGT1A1, such as efavirenz, fosamprenavir/ritonavir, tipranavir/ritonavir, and rifampicin.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure about what medicines, vitamins or supplements you are taking and if these affect TRODELVY.

4. How am I given TRODELVY?

How much is given

• TRODELVY is prepared by a healthcare professional and will be given to you in a hospital or clinic by a doctor or nurse.
• Your doctor will give you TRODELVY into your vein through an intravenous (IV) line.
• You will receive TRODELVY once per week, on Day 1 and on Day 8 of a 21‐day treatment cycle.
• You will receive the first dose of TRODELVY over 3 hours. If you tolerate the first dose well, future doses may be given over 1 to 2 hours.

If you miss a dose of TRODELVY

As TRODELVY is given to you under the supervision of your doctor, you are unlikely to miss a dose. However, if you forget or miss your appointment to receive TRODELVY, make another appointment as soon as possible. Do not wait until your next planned appointment. Your doctor will decide when you should be given your next dose of TRODELVY.

5. What should I know while receiving TRODELVY?

Things you should do

Keep all your doctor’s appointments so that your progress can be checked.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you feel like your condition is worsening or have new side effects while you are receiving TRODELVY.

Call your doctor straight away if you:

• Develop any signs of infection, including fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath or a burning or pain when you urinate
• Experience diarrhoea that lasts longer than 24 hours, or makes you feel like you are losing too much body fluid (e.g., light‐headedness, dizziness, faintness)
• Have black or bloody stools
• Experience signs of an allergic reaction, such as swelling on the face, difficulty breathing, skin rash, chills, fever or dizziness
• Become pregnant or think you may be pregnant.

Remind any doctor, dentist or pharmacist you visit that you are being given TRODELVY. If you are going to have surgery, tell the surgeon or anaesthetist that you are being given TRODELVY.

Things you should not do

• Do not take any other medicines, whether they require a prescription or not, without first telling your doctor or consulting with a pharmacist.

TRODELVY may affect your fertility

Talk to your doctor if you are planning on having children.

Low white blood cell count (neutropenia)

Low white blood cell counts are common with TRODELVY and can sometimes be severe and lead to infections that can be life‐threatening.

Your doctor should check your blood cell counts during treatment with TRODELVY. If your white blood cell count is too low, your doctor may need to lower your dose of TRODELVY, give you a medicine to help prevent low blood cell count with future doses of TRODELVY, or in some cases may stop TRODELVY.

Your doctor may need to give you antibiotic medicines if you develop fever while your white blood cell count is low.

Call your doctor right away or go straight to the Emergency Department at your nearest hospital if you develop any of the following signs of infection during treatment with TRODELVY:

• fever
• chills
• cough
• shortness of breath
• burning or pain when you urinate.

Driving or using machines

Be careful before you drive or use any machines or tools until you know how TRODELVY affects you.

TRODELVY may cause tiredness in some people. If you feel tired, weak or dizzy, do not drive or use machines until symptoms stop.

Drinking alcohol

Discuss alcohol use with your doctor.

TRODELVY will be stored in the pharmacy or on the hospital ward in a refrigerator at a temperature between 2°C and 8°C.
