Info
Enfortumab vedotin
- Mechanism:
- Anti-Nectin 4 human IgG1;
- after binding, internalized ADC releases antimicrotubule agent MMAE, producing cell cycle arrest/apoptosis
- Approved indication:
- Urothelial cancer
- Dosing:
- 1.25 mg/kg (max 125 mg) IV d 1, 8, & 15 of 28-d cycles;
- avoid use in mod./sev. hepatic impairment;
- no adjustment for renal impairment;
- manufacturer-recommended dose reductions available for toxicity
- PK/PD:
- T1/2 3.4 d for ADC, 2.4 d for MMAE;
- MMAE metabolized hepatically (CYP3A4)
- Adverse effects (AEs):
- Skin rxns (mostly maculopapular rash/pruritus, some sev. rxns),
- hyperglycemia,
- peripheral neuropathy,
- ocular disorders (mostly corneal),
- alopecia,
- diarrhea,
- dysgeusia,
- low vomiting risk,
- myelosuppression
- DDI: Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors/inducers likely increase/decrease MMAE exposure; no specific dose adjustments recommended; MMAE is a P-glycoprotein substrate
Clinical pearls
- Prophylactic artificial tears suggested;
- median 3.8 mos to grade ≥2 neuropathy, 1.9 mos to ocular disorders
