TRODELVY® (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy) is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with bladder cancer and cancers of the urinary tract that have spread (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery, and who have received a platinum-containing chemotherapy medicine and also received an immunotherapy medicine. This indication is approved based on medical studies that measured how many patients responded and how long they responded. Continued approval may depend on benefit demonstrated in additional medical studies. It is not known if TRODELVY is safe and effective in people with moderate or severe liver problems or in children.
