CARY, N.C., May 11, 2020—Biologics by McKesson, an independent specialty pharmacy specializing in oncology and rare disease areas, was selected by Immunomedics, Inc. as a specialty pharmacy provider for TRODELVYTM (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy) for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
TRODELVY, approved by the FDA on April 22, 2020, is the first in its class to treat metastatic, triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) in patients who have received at least two prior therapies for metastatic disease. This intravenous infusion, third-line drug was granted both Breakthrough Therapy and Fast Track designation for patients with TNBC.
“This significant new therapy fills a gap in the TNBC space, giving patients with late-stage cancer another chance,” said Brandon Tom, vice president of Commercial Services for Biologics. “It’s an honor for us to be chosen by Immunomedics as the sole distributor for this drug, and we believe that our collaboration with them will benefit patients as well. For those patients who have been on two drugs prior to receiving TRODELVY, they can continue to get care from the clinical team they’ve come to know and trust.”
