Pharmacology/ Pharmacokinetics:
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY-
1. Mechanism of Action- Tisotumab vedotin-tftv is a tissue factor (TF)-directed antibody drug conjugate (ADC). The antibody is a human IgG1 directed against cell surface TF. TF is the primary initiator of the extrinsic blood coagulation cascade.
2. Pharmacodynamics- Tisotumab vedotin-tftv exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamics response have not been fully characterized. Cardiac Electrophysiology At the recommended dose, tisotumab vedotin-tftv had no large mean effect on QTc prolongation (>20 msec).
3. Pharmacokinetics - Table summarizes the exposure parameters of tisotumab vedotin-tftv and unconjugated MMAE (the cytotoxic component of tisotumab vedotin-tftv) following administration of one 3-week cycle of tisotumab vedotin-tftv 2 mg/kg to patients.
Tisotumab vedotin-tftv concentrations peaked near the end of the infusion, while unconjugated MMAE concentrations peaked approximately 2 to 3 days after tisotumab vedotin-tftv dosing.
Tisotumab vedotin-tftv Cmax increased proportionally, while AUC0-last increased in a more than doseproportional manner, after a single dose ranging from 0.3–2.2 mg/kg (0.15 to 1.1 times the approved recommended dose). There was no accumulation of tisotumab vedotin-tftv and unconjugated MMAE.
Steadystate concentrations of tisotumab vedotin-tftv and unconjugated MMAE were reached after 1 treatment cycle.
Exposure Parameters of Tisotumab Vedotin-tftv and Unconjugated MMAE Tisotumab Vedotin-tftv Unconjugated MMAE Mean (± SD) Mean (± SD) Cmax 40.8 (8.12) µg/mL 5.91 (4.2) ng/mL AUC 57.5 (13.4) day*µg/mL 50 (35.8) day*ng/mL Cmax=maximum concentration, AUC = area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to 21 days (3 weeks)
Distribution- The tisotumab vedotin-tftv steady state volume of distribution is 7.83 (%CV: 19.1) L. Plasma protein binding of MMAE ranged from 68% to 82%, in vitro.
Elimination- The median terminal half-life of tisotumab vedotin-tftv and unconjugated MMAE is 4.04 (range: 2.26-7.25) days and 2.56 (range: 1.81-4.10) days, respectively. The linear clearance of tisotumab vedotin-tftv and unconjugated MMAE was 1.54 (%CV: 28.8) L/day and 45.9 (%CV: 61.1) L/day, respectively.
Elimination of MMAE appeared to be limited by its rate of release from tisotumab vedotin-tftv.
Metabolism- Tisotumab vedotin-tftv is expected to undergo catabolism to small peptides, amino acids, unconjugated MMAE, and unconjugated MMAE-related catabolites. Tisotumab vedotin-tftv releases unconjugated MMAE via proteolytic cleavage, and unconjugated MMAE is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 in vitro.
Excretion- The excretion of tisotumab vedotin-tftv is not fully characterized. Following a single-dose of another ADC that contains MMAE, 17% of the total MMAE administered was recovered in feces and 6% in urine over a 1-week period, primarily as unchanged drug. A similar excretion profile of MMAE is expected after tisotumab vedotintftv administration.
Specific Populations- No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of tisotumab vedotin-tftv were observed based on age (21 to 81 years), sex, race (white vs non-white) or ethnicity (Hispanic or Latino vs non-Hispanic or nonLatino).
No clinically significant differences in exposures of tisotumab vedotin-tftv and unconjugated MMAE were observed in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (CLcr 30 to < 90 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation) compared to patients with normal renal function.
The effect of severe renal impairment (CLcr 15 to < 30 mL/min) or end-stage renal disease with or without dialysis on pharmacokinetics of tisotumab vedotin-tftv and unconjugated MMAE is unknown.
Patients with Hepatic Impairment Unconjugated MMAE exposures were 37% higher, but there were no clinically significant differences in exposures of tisotumab vedotin-tftv in patients with mild hepatic impairment (bilirubin of 1 to 1.5 X ULN and AST < ULN, or bilirubin = ULN and AST > ULN) compared to patients with normal hepatic function.
The effect of moderate or severe hepatic impairment (AST > 3 x ULN or total bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN) or liver transplantation on the pharmacokinetics of tisotumab vedotin-tftv or unconjugated MMAE is unknown.
Drug Interaction Studies- Clinical Studies- No clinical studies evaluating the drug-drug interaction potential of tisotumab vedotin-tftv have been conducted. To characterize the drug-drug interaction potential of unconjugated MMAE, clinical studies with another ADC that contains MMAE are described below, and similar effects on tisotumab vedotin-tftv and unconjugated MMAE exposures are expected with concomitant use of TIVDAK.
There were no clinically significant differences in midazolam (sensitive CYP3A4 substrate) pharmacokinetics when used concomitantly with another ADC that contains MMAE.
Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Ketoconazole (strong CYP3A4 inhibitor) used concomitantly with another ADC that contains MMAE increased unconjugated MMAE Cmax by 25% and AUC by 34%, with no change in ADC exposure.
Strong CYP3A4 Inducers: Rifampin (strong CYP3A4 inducer) used concomitantly with another ADC that contains MMAE decreased unconjugated MMAE Cmax by 44% and AUC by 46%, with no change in ADC exposure.
In Vitro Studies- Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Enzymes: MMAE does not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP2D6. MMAE did not induce any major CYP450 enzymes in human hepatocytes.
Transporter Systems: MMAE is a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), but not an inhibitor of P-gp.
Pregnancy and lactation:
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS-
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 .
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
Advise patients of the potential risk to a fetus.
The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2%-4% and 15%-20%, respectively.
2. Lactation Risk Summary- There are no data on the presence of tisotumab vedotin-tftv in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise lactating women not to breastfeed during treatment with TIVDAK and for 3 weeks after the last dose.
3. Females and Males of Reproductive Potential- TIVDAK can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman
Pregnancy testing- Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating TIVDAK treatment.
Contraception- Females- Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TIVDAK and for 2 months after the last dose.
Males -Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TIVDAK and for 4 months after the last dose.
Infertility- Males -Based on findings from animal studies, TIVDAK may impair male fertility
4. Pediatric Use- Safety and effectiveness of TIVDAK in pediatric patients have not been established.
5. Geriatric Use- Of the 101 patients treated with TIVDAK in innovaTV 204, 13% were =65 years of age. Grade =3 adverse reactions occurred in 69% patients =65 years and in 59% patients <65 years. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 54% patients =65 years and in 41% patients <65 years.
No patients aged =65 years treated with TIVDAK in innovaTV 204 experienced a tumor response.
6. Hepatic Impairment- Avoid use of TIVDAK in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 1.5 × ULN) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. In patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin = ULN and AST >ULN or total bilirubin > 1 to 1.5 × ULN and any AST), closely monitor patients for adverse reactions of TIVDAK, but no dosage adjustment in the starting dose of TIVDAK is recommended.
