Gilead withdraws Trodelvy bladder cancer drug after TROPiCS-04 trial fails to show survival improvement.

Gilead Sciences has withdrawn its bladder cancer drug Trodelvy after a confirmatory trial, TROPiCS-04, failed to show it improved patient survival. Initially granted accelerated FDA approval in 2021 for its tumor-shrinking effects, Trodelvy's withdrawal reflects a trend of the FDA revoking conditional approvals. Gilead's primary cancer treatment remains Yescarta, while further data on Trodelvy for triple-negative breast cancer is anticipated this year.
