Key takeaways:
- Remedy with tisotumab vedotin resulted in a 30% decrease danger for dying in contrast with chemotherapy.
- Each therapy choices had comparable antagonistic occasion charges.
Tisotumab vedotin for recurrent cervical most cancers resulted in considerably longer survival outcomes in contrast with chemotherapy alone, in accordance with outcomes from a part 3 randomized examine printed in The New England Journal of Drugs.
Researchers noticed no new security indicators related to use of the agent as second- or third-line therapy whereas additionally noting toxicity comparable with chemotherapy.

“The innovaTV 301 trial confirmed that tisotumab vedotin resulted in considerably larger efficacy, together with longer general survival, than chemotherapy in sufferers with recurrent cervical most cancers,” Ignace Vergote, MD, PhD, a gynecologist-oncologist at College Hospital Leuven, Belgium, and researchers wrote.
Background, methodology
Researchers performed the open-label innovaTV 301 trial to evaluate the efficacy and security of tisotumab vedotin (Tivdak; Seagen, Genmab) — an antibody-drug conjugate — as second- or third-line remedy in girls with recurrent or metastatic cervical most cancers.
They randomly assigned 502 girls to obtain both 2 mg/kg tisotumab vedotin monotherapy each 3 weeks (n = 253) or investigator’s selection of chemotherapy (n = 249).
OS served because the examine’s main finish level.
Outcomes, subsequent steps
Researchers reported considerably longer median OS amongst sufferers who obtained tisotumab vedotin in contrast with chemotherapy, leading to a 30% decrease danger for dying with tisotumab vedotin (11.5 vs. 9.5 months; HR = 0.7; 95% CI, 0.54-0.89).
Additionally they noticed considerably longer median PFS of 4.2 months with tisotumab vedotin vs. 2.9 months with chemotherapy (HR = 0.67; 95% CI, 0.54-0.82).
Sufferers within the tisotumab vedotin cohort had a confirmed goal response charge of 17.8% vs. 5.2% within the chemotherapy cohort (OR = 4; 95% CI, 2.1-7.6).
A complete of 98.4% of sufferers within the investigational cohort skilled a minimum of one antagonistic occasion throughout the therapy interval, whereas 99.2% of sufferers within the chemotherapy cohort skilled a minimum of one antagonistic occasion.
Grade 3 or larger antagonistic occasions occurred in 52% of sufferers within the tisotumab vedotin cohort and 62.3% of sufferers within the chemotherapy cohort; 14.8% of sufferers stopped remedy with tisotumab vedotin attributable to treatment-related toxicity.
“Taken collectively, these knowledge counsel that tisotumab vedotin could also be a most well-liked second-line or third-line therapy possibility over chemotherapy for sufferers with recurrent cervical most cancers,” Vergote and colleagues wrote.
