Tivdak: which risks did reviewers probe?

tisotumab vedotin · Tissue factor
Immune & cytokine safety
ADA in most monkeys after repeat dosing, reduced exposure in some; immunotoxic potential minimal
“Most monkeys developed ADAs following repeated doses of tisotumab vedotin.”
✓ VerifiedEMA assessment report, p. 51Source ↗
Biodistribution & persistence
Monkey 89Zr-PET: highest uptake liver and bone marrow (~20% each); MMAE fecal elimination
“In cynomolgus monkeys, liver and bone marrow received the highest percent (approx. 20% each) of the injected dose of 89Zr-tisotumab and long persistence were noted.”
✓ VerifiedEMA assessment report, p. 39Source ↗
Modality-specific risk
Target-mediated skin and ocular toxicity plus MMAE myelosuppression, testicular toxicity; bleeding (TF/coagulation)
“Skin and ocular toxicities could be expected from the TF-directed antibody portion of tisotumab vedotin as tisotumab was shown to positively stain skin epithelial cells (squamous epidermis, hair follicle), and corneal and conjunctiva epithelial cells, in both human and monkey in a tissue cross reactivity study.”

Same question, other ADCs

Adcetris

brentuximab vedotin · CD30
Anti-drug antibodies (PAHA) in monkeys reduced ADC exposure but increased MMAE exposure without added toxicity

Besponsa

inotuzumab ozogamicin · CD22
Low ADA incidence in rats (10-13%); no ADA detected in monkeys

Datroway

datopotamab deruxtecan · Trop-2
ADA in 5/6 monkeys at 10 mg/kg reducing exposure; minimal in vitro cytokine release; transient CRP increases

Decnupaz

pivekimab sunirine · CD123
ADA in monkeys reduced exposure; thymic lymphoid depletion and lymphopenia; ADCC present in vitro

Elahere

mirvetuximab soravtansine · FRα
No ADA in any monkey up to 8 mg/kg; bone marrow and lymphoid depletion; no stand-alone immunotox

Emrelis

telisotuzumab vedotin · c-Met
No substantial cytokine release from human PBMC; no ADA in 13-week monkey study; low C1q, no complement activation

Enhertu

fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan · HER2
No treatment-emergent ADA in rat or monkey studies; ADCC activity retained in vitro

Kadcyla

ado-trastuzumab emtansine · HER2
No ADA detected after single dose in monkey safety pharmacology study; ADA assessed across monkey studies

Mylotarg

gemtuzumab ozogamicin · CD33
ADA in rats (reduced exposure) and some monkeys; marked eosinophilia and hypersensitivity reactions in monkeys

Padcev

enfortumab vedotin · Nectin-4
ADA in rats and monkeys reduced exposure on repeat dosing; no ADCC/CDC, ADCP activity in vitro

Polivy

polatuzumab vedotin · CD79b
Surrogate ADC depleted B cells (expected pharmacology); ADA in monkeys without exposure impact

Trodelvy

sacituzumab govitecan · Trop-2
ADA in all monkeys at all doses in 13-week study, reducing low-dose exposure; reduced thymic/lymphoid cellularity

Zynlonta

loncastuximab tesirine · CD19
Pro-inflammatory responses (WBC, fibrinogen, multi-organ inflammation) typical of PBD ADCs; ADA in few monkeys
