A first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate that almost doubles survival in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer is being evaluated for registration by the TGA under its priority review system.

The antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) sacituzumab govitecan (Trodelvy) received accelerated approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in April last year and gained full approval in the US earlier this month.
