The ink was barely dry on Gilead Sciences, Inc.’s latest earnings report when the company announced another important milestone, the US Food and Drug Administration approval of Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy) based on survival data from the closely watched TROPiCS-02 trial in pretreated HR-positive/HER-negative metastatic breast cancer (HR+/HER2- mBC).
