Generic Name: tisotumab vedotin
Brand Names:
Tivdak
11 DESCRIPTION Tisotumab vedotin-tftv is a Tissue Factor (TF) directed antibody drug conjugate (ADC) comprised of a human anti-TF IgG1-kappa antibody conjugated to the microtubule-disrupting agent monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) via a protease-cleavable vc (valine-citrulline) linker. The monoclonal antibody is produced in a mammalian cell line (Chinese hamster ovary). MMAE and the linker are produced by chemical synthesis. Each monoclonal antibody molecule carries an average of 4 MMAE molecules.

Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • For intravenous infusion only. Do not administer TIVDAK as an intravenous push or bolus. Do not mix with, or administer as an infusion with, other medicinal products. ( 2.4 ) • The recommended dose of TIVDAK is 2 mg/kg (up to a maximum of 200 mg) given as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dose of TIVDAK is 2 mg/kg (up to a maximum of 200 mg for patients ≥100 kg) administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: • Ocular Adverse Reactions [see Boxed Warning , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] • Peripheral Neuropathy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] • Hemorrhage [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] • Pneumonitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] • Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] The most common (≥25%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were hemoglobin decreased, peripheral neuropathy, conjunctival adverse reactions, nausea, fatigue, aspartate aminotransferase increased, epistaxis, alopecia, alanine aminotransferase increased, and hemorrhage.

Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Closely monitor for TIVDAK adverse reactions. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on TIVDAK Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors MMAE is a CYP3A4 substrate. Concomitant use of TIVDAK with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase unconjugated MMAE exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of TIVDAK adverse reactions. Closely monitor patients for adverse reactions of TIVDAK when used concomitantly with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors.
Warnings
WARNING: OCULAR TOXICITY • TIVDAK can cause severe ocular toxicities resulting in changes in vision, including severe vision loss, and corneal ulceration. [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. • Conduct an ophthalmic exam, including an assessment of ocular symptoms, visual acuity, and slit lamp exam of the anterior segment of the eye prior to initiation of TIVDAK, prior to every cycle for the first nine cycles, and as clinically indicated. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Peripheral neuropathy: Monitor patients for new or worsening peripheral neuropathy. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue TIVDAK based on severity. ( 2.3 , 5.2 ) • Hemorrhage: Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hemorrhage. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue TIVDAK based on severity. ( 2.3 , 5.3 ) • Pneumonitis: Severe, life-threatening, or fatal pneumonitis may occur. Withhold TIVDAK for persistent or recurrent Grade 2 pneumonitis and consider dose reduction. Permanently discontinue TIVDAK for Grade 3 or 4 pneumonitis. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. None. ( 4 )
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on the mechanism of action and findings in animals, TIVDAK can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available human data on TIVDAK use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. In an animal reproduction study, administration of the small molecule component of TIVDAK, MMAE, to pregnant rats during organogenesis caused embryo-fetal mortality and structural abnormalities at exposures below the clinical exposure at the recommended dose (see Data ) .
Storage
16 HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLING How Supplied TIVDAK (tisotumab vedotin-tftv) is supplied as a white to off-white lyophilized cake or powder in a 40 mg single-dose vial for reconstitution.
