Gilead Sciences, Inc.’s latest results from the closely watched TROPiCS-02 trial of Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy) in previously treated metastatic hormone receptor (HR)-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer met the key secondary endpoint of overall survival (OS), but without detailed results it remains unclear whether that will help the drug’s competitive position on the market relative to other therapies that have also shown a survival advantage.
Gilead’s Trodelvy Wins In TROPiCS-02, But Commercial Headwinds Remain
Analysts said that while the Phase III survival data could lead to Trodelvy’s FDA approval, it still could face competitive headwinds from AstraZeneca/Daiichi Sankyo’s Enhertu.
