RE:Trodelvy longer OS and improved QOL

And doing some combo trials too. I believe response rate is still in the 30% range though, right? But that's the levels to be shooting for to guarantee yourself a billion$ annual revenue market. Let's go TH1902!

It seems like Gilead is trying hard to justify the price tag on their drug.

These findings are in addition to previously reported overall survival (OS) benefits. According to a Gilead press release, patients receiving sacituzumab govitecan had an OS of 11.8 months compared to 6.9 months among patients who received standard of care. The new trial results were presented at the European Society of Medical Oncology Congress 2021.

“In TNBC, limited treatment options and poor survival outcomes are compounded by a significant decrease in quality of life, especially in relapsed or refractory metastatic disease, where patients can undergo many rounds of chemotherapy,” said Sibylle Loibl, MD, of the Centre for Hematology and Oncology at Bethanien-Hospital Frankfurt, in the press release. “Trodelvy is not only the first treatment to extend survival in these patients, but this analysis shows it can also significantly lessen the burden of symptoms when quality time is especially important.”

TNBC is the most aggressive form of the disease and accounts for approximately 15% of all breast cancers, according to the press release. It is most commonly diagnosed in younger and premenopausal women and is more prevalent in Black and Hispanic women. Due to the lack of estrogen and progesterone receptors in TNBC cells, treatment options are limited compared with other types of breast cancer.
