Exposure-safety Markov modeling of ocular adverse events in patient populations treated with tisotumab vedotin

Tisotumab vedotin (TV), a tissue factor-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), is approved in the US at 2.0 mg/kg every 3 weeks (Q3W) for adult patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer following disease progression on or after chemotherapy. Previous logistic regression analysis showed a positive association between TV exposure and ocular adverse events (OAEs), which were identified as prespecified AEs of interest in TV clinical studies. To further optimize TV dose from a safety perspective, we developed a discrete-time Markov model (DTMM) to characterize exposure-response (E-R) relationships of exposures of both ADC and the microtubule-disrupting agent monomethyl auristatin E to the incidence, severity, and longitudinal time course of grade ≥ 2 OAEs in patients with advanced solid tumors. A total of 757 patients who received TV as monotherapy or combination (with carboplatin, bevacizumab, or pembrolizumab) across seven clinical studies were included in this analysis. Of multiple covariates modeled, implementation of an eye care plan was the only covariate to significantly reduce risk of grade ≥ 2 OAEs. The DTMM suggested an association between ADC exposure and risk of grade ≥ 2 OAEs. Based on the totality of data from clinical outcomes, pharmacokinetics, and E-R analyses, as well as DTMM modeling results, TV 1.7 mg/kg every 2 weeks may provide higher efficacy with slightly increased risk of OAEs compared with 2.0 mg/kg Q3W, although these OAEs are manageable with an appropriate eye care plan.

Tisotumab Vedotin in Previously Treated Recurrent or Metastatic Cervical Cancer

Abstract Purpose: Tissue factor (TF) is a potential target in cervical cancer, as it is frequently highly expressed and associated with poor prognosis. Tisotumab vedotin, a first-in-class investigational antibody–drug conjugate targeting TF, has demonstrated encouraging activity in solid tumors. Here we report data from the cervical cancer cohort of innovaTV 201 phase I/II study (NCT02001623). Patients and Methods: Patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer received tisotumab vedotin 2.0 mg/kg every 3 weeks until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, or consent withdrawal. The primary objective was safety and tolerability. Secondary objectives included antitumor activity. Results: Of the 55 patients, 51% had received ≥2 prior lines of treatment in the recurrent or metastatic setting; 67% had prior bevacizumab + doublet chemotherapy. Fifty-one percent of patients had squamous cell carcinoma. The most common grade 3/4 treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) were anemia (11%), fatigue (9%), and vomiting (7%). No grade 5 treatment-related AEs occurred. Investigator-assessed confirmed objective response rate (ORR) was 24% [95% confidence interval (CI): 13%−37%]. Median duration of response (DOR) was 4.2 months (range: 1.0+−9.7); four patients responded for &amp;gt;8 months. The 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate was 29% (95% CI: 17%−43%). Independent review outcomes were comparable, with confirmed ORR of 22% (95% CI: 12%−35%), median DOR of 6.0 months (range: 1.0+−9.7), and 6-month PFS rate of 40% (95% CI: 24%−55%). Tissue factor expression was confirmed in most patients; no significant association with response was observed. Conclusions: Tisotumab vedotin demonstrated a manageable safety profile and encouraging antitumor activity in patients with previously treated recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.
