2.3 Instructions for Preparation and Administration

Administer PADCEV as an intravenous infusion only.
PADCEV is a hazardous drug. Follow applicable special handling and disposal procedures.1

Prior to administration, the PADCEV vial is reconstituted with Sterile Water for Injection (SWFI). The reconstituted solution is subsequently diluted in an intravenous infusion bag containing either 5% Dextrose Injection, USP, 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, or Lactated Ringer’s Injection, USP.

Reconstitution in single-dose vial

1.
Follow procedures for proper handling and disposal of anticancer drugs.
2.
Use appropriate aseptic technique for reconstitution and preparation of dosing solutions.
3.
Calculate the recommended dose based on the patient’s weight to determine the number and strength (20 mg or 30 mg) of vials needed.
4.
Reconstitute each vial as follows and, if possible, direct the stream of SWFI along the walls of the vial and not directly onto the lyophilized powder:
a.
20 mg vial: Add 2.3 mL of SWFI, resulting in 10 mg/mL PADCEV.
b.
30 mg vial: Add 3.3 mL of SWFI, resulting in 10 mg/mL PADCEV.
5.
Slowly swirl each vial until the contents are completely dissolved. Allow the reconstituted vial(s) to settle for at least 1 minute until the bubbles are gone. DO NOT SHAKE THE VIAL. Do not expose to direct sunlight.
6.
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. The reconstituted solution should be clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to light yellow and free of visible particles. Discard any vial with visible particles or discoloration.
7.
Based upon the calculated dose amount, the reconstituted solution from the vial(s) should be added to the infusion bag immediately. This product does not contain a preservative. If not used immediately, reconstituted vials may be stored for up to 24 hours in refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C (36 °F to 46 °F). DO NOT FREEZE. Discard unused vials with reconstituted solution beyond the recommended storage time.

Dilution in infusion bag

8.
Withdraw the calculated dose amount of reconstituted solution from the vial(s) and transfer into an infusion bag.
9.
Dilute PADCEV with either 5% Dextrose Injection, 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, or Lactated Ringer's Injection. The infusion bag size should allow enough diluent to achieve a final concentration of 0.3 mg/mL to 4 mg/mL PADCEV.
10.
Mix diluted solution by gentle inversion. DO NOT SHAKE THE BAG. Do not expose to direct sunlight.
11.
Visually inspect the infusion bag for any particulate matter or discoloration prior to use. The reconstituted solution should be clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to light yellow and free of visible particles. DO NOT USE the infusion bag if particulate matter or discoloration is observed.
12.
Discard any unused portion left in the single-dose vials.

Administration

13.
Immediately administer the infusion over 30 minutes through an intravenous line.
14.
If the infusion is not administered immediately, the prepared infusion bag should not be stored longer than 8 hours at 2°C to 8°C (36 °F to 46 °F). DO NOT FREEZE.

DO NOT administer PADCEV as an intravenous push or bolus.

DO NOT mix PADCEV with, or administer as an infusion with, other medicinal products.

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS

None.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

5.1 Skin Reactions

Severe cutaneous adverse reactions, including fatal cases of SJS or TEN occurred in patients treated with PADCEV. SJS and TEN occurred predominantly during the first cycle of treatment but may occur later.

Skin reactions occurred in 55% of the 680 patients treated with PADCEV in clinical trials. Twenty-three percent (23%) of patients had maculopapular rash and 33% had pruritus. Grade 3-4 skin reactions occurred in 13% of patients, including maculo-papular rash, rash erythematous, rash or drug eruption, symmetrical drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema (SDRIFE), dermatitis bullous, dermatitis exfoliative, and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia. In clinical trials, the median time to onset of severe skin reactions was 0.6 months (range: 0.1 to 6.4 months). Among patients experiencing a skin reaction leading to dose interruption who then restarted PADCEV (n=59), 24% of patients restarting at the same dose and 16% of patients restarting at a reduced dose experienced recurrent severe skin reactions. Skin reactions led to discontinuation of PADCEV in 2.6% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

Monitor patients closely throughout treatment for skin reactions. Consider topical corticosteroids and antihistamines, as clinically indicated.

Withhold PADCEV and refer for specialized care for suspected SJS, TEN or for severe (Grade 3) skin reactions.

Permanently discontinue PADCEV in patients with confirmed SJS or TEN; or Grade 4 or recurrent Grade 3 skin reactions [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

5.2 Hyperglycemia

Hyperglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), including fatal events, occurred in patients with and without pre-existing diabetes mellitus, treated with PADCEV.

Patients with baseline hemoglobin A1C ≥8% were excluded from clinical trials. In clinical trials, 14% of the 680 patients treated with PADCEV developed hyperglycemia; 7% of patients developed Grade 3-4 hyperglycemia. The incidence of Grade 3-4 hyperglycemia increased consistently in patients with higher body mass index and in patients with higher baseline A1C. Five percent (5%) of patients required initiation of insulin therapy for treatment of hyperglycemia. The median time to onset of hyperglycemia was 0.6 months (range: 0.1 to 20.3 months). Hyperglycemia led to discontinuation of PADCEV in 0.6% of patients. [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

Closely monitor blood glucose levels in patients with, or at risk for, diabetes mellitus or hyperglycemia.

If blood glucose is elevated (>250 mg/dL), withhold PADCEV [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

5.3 Pneumonitis

Severe, life-threatening or fatal pneumonitis occurred in patients treated with PADCEV. In clinical trials, 3.1% of the 680 patients treated with PADCEV had pneumonitis of any grade and 0.7% had Grade 3-4. In clinical trials, the median time to onset of pneumonitis was 2.9 months (range: 0.6 to 6 months).

Monitor patients for signs and symptoms indicative of pneumonitis such as hypoxia, cough, dyspnea or interstitial infiltrates on radiologic exams. Evaluate and exclude infectious, neoplastic and other causes for such signs and symptoms through appropriate investigations.

Withhold PADCEV for patients who develop persistent or recurrent Grade 2 pneumonitis and consider dose reduction. Permanently discontinue PADCEV in all patients with Grade 3 or 4 pneumonitis [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

5.4 Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy occurred in 52% of the 680 patients treated with PADCEV in clinical trials including 39% with sensory neuropathy, 7% with muscular weakness and 6% with motor neuropathy; 4% experienced Grade 3-4 reactions. Peripheral neuropathy occurred in patients treated with PADCEV with or without preexisting peripheral neuropathy. The median time to onset of Grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy was 4.6 months (range: 0.1 to 15.8 months). Neuropathy led to treatment discontinuation in 5% of patients. [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

Monitor patients for symptoms of new or worsening peripheral neuropathy and consider dose interruption or dose reduction of PADCEV when peripheral neuropathy occurs.

Permanently discontinue PADCEV in patients who develop Grade >3 peripheral neuropathy [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

5.5 Ocular Disorders

Ocular disorders were reported in 40% of the 384 patients treated with PADCEV in clinical trials in which ophthalmologic exams were scheduled. The majority of these events involved the cornea and included events associated with dry eye such as keratitis, blurred vision, increased lacrimation, conjunctivitis, limbal stem cell deficiency, and keratopathy.

Dry eye symptoms occurred in 34% of patients, and blurred vision occurred in 13% of patients, during treatment with PADCEV. The median time to onset to symptomatic ocular disorder was 1.6 months (range: 0 to 19.1 months). Monitor patients for ocular disorders. Consider artificial tears for prophylaxis of dry eyes and ophthalmologic evaluation if ocular symptoms occur or do not resolve. Consider treatment with ophthalmic topical steroids, if indicated after an ophthalmic exam. Consider dose interruption or dose reduction of PADCEV for symptomatic ocular disorders.

5.6 Infusion Site Extravasation

Skin and soft tissue reactions secondary to extravasation have been observed after administration of PADCEV. Of the 680 patients, 1.6% of patients experienced skin and soft tissue reactions, including 0.3% who experienced Grade 3-4 reactions. Reactions may be delayed. Erythema, swelling, increased temperature, and pain worsened until 2-7 days after extravasation and resolved within 1-4 weeks of peak. Two patients (0.3%) developed extravasation reactions with secondary cellulitis, bullae, or exfoliation. Ensure adequate venous access prior to starting PADCEV and monitor for possible extravasation during administration. If extravasation occurs, stop the infusion and monitor for adverse reactions.

5.7 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on the mechanism of action and findings in animals, PADCEV can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, administration of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused maternal toxicity, embryo-fetal lethality, structural malformations and skeletal anomalies at maternal exposures approximately similar to the clinical exposures at the recommended human dose of 1.25 mg/kg.

Advise patients of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with PADCEV and for 2 months after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with PADCEV and for 4 months after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)].

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

The pooled safety population described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to PADCEV as a single agent at 1.25 mg/kg in 680 patients in EV-301, EV-201, EV-101 (NCT02091999), and EV-102 (NCT03070990). Ocular disorders reflect 384 patients in EV-201, EV-101, and EV-102. Among 680 patients receiving PADCEV, 36% were exposed for >6 months, and 9% were exposed for ≥12 months. In this pooled population, the most common (>20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were rash, aspartate aminotransferase increased, glucose increased, creatinine increased, fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, lymphocytes decreased, alopecia, decreased appetite, hemoglobin decreased, diarrhea, sodium decreased, nausea, pruritus, phosphate decreased, dysgeusia, alanine aminotransferase increased, anemia, albumin decreased, neutrophils decreased, urate increased, lipase increased, platelets decreased, weight decreased and dry skin.

The data described in the following sections reflect exposure to PADCEV from an open-label, randomized, study (EV-301); and Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 of an open-label, single arm, two cohort study (EV-201). Patients received PADCEV 1.25 mg/kg on Days 1, 8 and 15 of a 28-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Previously Treated Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Cancer

EV-301

The safety of PADCEV was evaluated in EV-301 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (n=296) who received at least one dose of PADCEV 1.25 mg/kg and who were previously treated with a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor and a platinum-based chemotherapy [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Routine ophthalmologic exams were not conducted in EV-301. The median duration of exposure to PADCEV was 5 months (range: 0.5 to 19.4 months).

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 47% of patients treated with PADCEV. The most common serious adverse reactions (≥2%) were urinary tract infection, acute kidney injury (7% each) and pneumonia (5%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 3% of patients, including multiorgan dysfunction (1.0%), hepatic dysfunction, septic shock, hyperglycemia, pneumonitis and pelvic abscess (0.3% each).

Adverse reactions leading to discontinuation occurred in 17% of patients; the most common adverse reactions (≥2%) leading to discontinuation were peripheral neuropathy (5%) and rash (4%).

Adverse reactions leading to dose interruption occurred in 61% of patients; the most common adverse reactions (≥4%) leading to dose interruption were peripheral neuropathy (23%), rash (11%) and fatigue (9%).

Adverse reactions leading to dose reduction occurred in 34% of patients; the most common adverse reactions (≥2%) leading to dose reduction were peripheral neuropathy (10%), rash (8%), decreased appetite (3%) and fatigue (3%).

EV-201, Cohort 2

The safety of PADCEV was evaluated in EV-201, Cohort 2 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (n=89) who received at least one dose of PADCEV 1.25 mg/kg and had prior treatment with a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor and were not eligible for cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The median duration of exposure was 5.98 months (range: 0.3 to 24.6 months).

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 39% of patients treated with PADCEV. The most common serious adverse reactions (≥3%) were pneumonia, sepsis and diarrhea (5% each). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 8% of patients, including acute kidney injury (2.2%), metabolic acidosis, sepsis, multiorgan dysfunction, pneumonia and pneumonitis (1.1% each).

Adverse reactions leading to discontinuation occurred in 20% of patients; the most common adverse reaction (≥2%) leading to discontinuation was peripheral neuropathy (7%).

Adverse reactions leading to dose interruption occurred in 60% of patients; the most common adverse reactions (≥3%) leading to dose interruption were peripheral neuropathy (19%), rash (9%), fatigue (8%), diarrhea (5%), aspartate aminotransferase increased (3%) and hyperglycemia (3%).

Adverse reactions leading to dose reduction occurred in 49% of patients; the most common adverse reactions (≥3%) leading to dose reduction were peripheral neuropathy (19%), rash (11%) and fatigue (7%).

6.2 Post Marketing Experience

The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of PADCEV. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: Epidermal necrosis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

6.3 Immunogenicity

As with all therapeutic proteins, there is a potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies in the trials described below with the incidence of antibodies in other trials or other enfortumab vedotin-ejfv products may be misleading.

Following administration of PADCEV 1.25 mg/kg; 16/590 (2.7%) patients tested positive for anti-therapeutic antibody (ATA) against enfortumab vedotin-ejfv at one or more post-baseline time points. Due to the limited number of patients with ATA against enfortumab vedotin-ejfv, no conclusions can be drawn concerning a potential effect of immunogenicity on efficacy, safety or pharmacokinetics.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on PADCEV

Dual P-gp and Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors
Concomitant use with dual P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase unconjugated MMAE exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the incidence or severity of PADCEV toxicities. Closely monitor patients for signs of toxicity when PADCEV is given concomitantly with dual P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1 Pregnancy

Risk Summary

Based on the mechanism of action and findings in animals, PADCEV can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)]. There are no available human data on PADCEV use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. In an animal reproduction study, administration of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv to pregnant rats during organogenesis caused maternal toxicity, embryo-fetal lethality, structural malformations and skeletal anomalies at maternal exposures approximately similar to the exposures at the recommended human dose of 1.25 mg/kg (see Data). Advise patients of the potential risk to the 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.

Data

Animal Data

In a rat pilot embryo-fetal development study, administration of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv on gestation day 6 and 13 during the period of organogenesis resulted in a complete litter loss in all pregnant rats at the maternally toxic dose of 5 mg/kg (approximately 3 times the exposure at the recommended human dose). A dose of 2 mg/kg (approximately similar to the exposure at the recommended human dose) resulted in maternal toxicity, embryo-fetal lethality and structural malformations that included gastroschisis, malrotated hindlimb, absent forepaw, malpositioned internal organs and fused cervical arch. Additionally, skeletal anomalies (asymmetric, fused, incompletely ossified, and misshapen sternebrae, misshapen cervical arch, and unilateral ossification of the thoracic centra) and decreased fetal weight were observed.

8.2 Lactation

Risk Summary

There are no data on the presence of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv 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 PADCEV and for at least 3 weeks after the last dose.

8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential

Pregnancy testing

Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating PADCEV treatment [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

Contraception

Females

PADCEV can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with PADCEV 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 PADCEV and for 4 months after the last dose.

Infertility

Males

Based on findings from animal studies, PADCEV may impair male fertility [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

8.4 Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness of PADCEV in pediatric patients have not been established.

8.5 Geriatric Use

Of the 680 patients treated with PADCEV in clinical trials, 440 (65%) were 65 years or older and 168 (25%) were 75 years or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

8.6 Hepatic Impairment

Avoid the use of PADCEV in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >1.5 x ULN and AST any). PADCEV has only been studied in a limited number of patients with moderate hepatic impairment (n=3) and has not been evaluated in patients with severe hepatic impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. In another ADC that contains MMAE, the frequency of ≥ Grade 3 adverse reactions and deaths was greater in patients with moderate (Child-Pugh B) or severe (Child-Pugh C) hepatic impairment compared to patients with normal hepatic function. No adjustment in the starting dose is required when administering PADCEV to patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin 1 to 1.5 × ULN and AST any, or total bilirubin ≤ULN and AST >ULN).

8.7 Renal Impairment

No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild (CrCL >60-90 mL/min), moderate (CrCL 30-60 mL/min) or severe (CrCL <30 mL/min) renal impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

11 DESCRIPTION

Enfortumab vedotin-ejfv is a Nectin-4 directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) comprised of a fully human anti-Nectin-4 IgG1 kappa monoclonal antibody (AGS-22C3) conjugated to the small molecule microtubule disrupting agent, monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) via a protease-cleavable maleimidocaproyl valine-citrulline (vc) linker (SGD-1006). Conjugation takes place on cysteine residues that comprise the interchain disulfide bonds of the antibody to yield a product with a drug-to-antibody ratio of approximately 3.8:1. The molecular weight is approximately 152 kDa.

Enfortumab vedotin structural formula

Figure 1. Structural Formula

Approximately 4 molecules of MMAE are attached to each antibody molecule. Enfortumab vedotin-ejfv is produced by chemical conjugation of the antibody and small molecule components. The antibody is produced by mammalian (Chinese hamster ovary) cells and the small molecule components are produced by chemical synthesis.

PADCEV (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv) for injection is provided as a sterile, preservative-free, white to off-white lyophilized powder in single-dose vials for intravenous use. PADCEV is supplied as a 20 mg per vial and a 30 mg per vial and requires reconstitution with Sterile Water for Injection, USP, (2.3 mL and 3.3 mL, respectively) resulting in a clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow solution with a final concentration of 10 mg/mL [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. After reconstitution, each vial allows the withdrawal of 2 mL (20 mg) and 3 mL (30 mg). Each mL of reconstituted solution contains 10 mg of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv, histidine (1.4 mg), histidine hydrochloride monohydrate (2.31 mg), polysorbate 20 (0.2 mg) and trehalose dihydrate (55 mg) with a pH of 6.0.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1 Mechanism of Action

Enfortumab vedotin-ejfv is an ADC. The antibody is a human IgG1 directed against Nectin-4, an adhesion protein located on the surface of cells. The small molecule, MMAE, is a microtubule-disrupting agent, attached to the antibody via a protease-cleavable linker. Nonclinical data suggest that the anticancer activity of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv is due to the binding of the ADC to Nectin-4-expressing cells, followed by internalization of the ADC-Nectin-4 complex, and the release of MMAE via proteolytic cleavage. Release of MMAE disrupts the microtubule network within the cell, subsequently inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptotic cell death.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics

In an exposure-response analysis, higher enfortumab vedotin-ejfv exposure was associated with higher incidence of some adverse reactions (e.g., Grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy, Grade ≥3 hyperglycemia). The exposure-response relationship for efficacy has not been fully characterized.

Cardiac Electrophysiology

At the recommended dose, PADCEV had no large QTc prolongation (>20 msec).

12.3 Pharmacokinetics

Population pharmacokinetic analysis included data from 748 patients based on five studies. Enfortumab vedotin-ejfv pharmacokinetics were characterized after single and multiple doses in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma and other solid tumors.

The exposure parameters of ADC and unconjugated MMAE (the cytotoxic component of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv) are summarized in Table 9 below. Peak ADC concentrations were observed near the end of intravenous infusion while peak MMAE concentrations were observed approximately 2 days after enfortumab vedotin-ejfv dosing. Minimal accumulation of the ADC and MMAE was observed following repeat administration of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv in patients. Steady-state concentrations of ADC and MMAE were reached after 1 treatment cycle.

Distribution

The estimated mean steady-state volume of distribution of ADC was 12.8 liters following administration of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv. Plasma protein binding of MMAE ranged from 68% to 82%, in vitro.

Elimination

ADC and MMAE exhibited multi-exponential declines with an elimination half-life of 3.6 days and 2.6 days, respectively. The mean clearance (CL) of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv and unconjugated MMAE in patients was 0.11 L/h and 2.11 L/h, respectively, in patients. Elimination of MMAE appeared to be limited by its rate of release from enfortumab vedotin-ejfv.

Metabolism

Enfortumab vedotin-ejfv catabolism has not been studied in humans; however, it is expected to undergo catabolism to small peptides, amino acids, unconjugated MMAE, and unconjugated MMAE-related catabolites. Enfortumab vedotin-ejfv releases MMAE via proteolytic cleavage, and MMAE is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 in vitro.

Excretion

The excretion of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv 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 enfortumab vedotin-ejfv administration.

Specific Populations

Based on population pharmacokinetic analysis, no clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv were observed based on age (24 to 90 years), sex, or race/ethnicity (Caucasian, Asian, Black, or others).

Hepatic Impairment

Based on population pharmacokinetics analysis, there was a 37% AUC0-28d increase in unconjugated MMAE exposure observed in patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin of 1 to 1.5 × ULN and AST any, or total bilirubin ≤ULN and AST >ULN, n=65) compared to normal hepatic function. Enfortumab vedotin-ejfv has only been studied in limited number of patients with moderate hepatic impairment and has not been evaluated in patients with severe hepatic impairment. The effect of moderate or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >1.5 x ULN and AST any) or liver transplantation on the pharmacokinetics of ADC or unconjugated MMAE is unknown.

Renal Impairment

The pharmacokinetics of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv and unconjugated MMAE were evaluated after the administration of 1.25 mg/kg of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv to patients with mild (creatinine clearance; CrCL >60–90 mL/min; n=272), moderate (CrCL 30–60 mL/min; n=315) and severe (CrCL <30 mL/min; n=25) renal impairment. No significant differences in exposure (AUC) of ADC and MMAE were observed in patients with mild, moderate or severe renal impairment compared to patients with normal renal function. The effect of end stage renal disease with or without dialysis on the pharmacokinetics of ADC or unconjugated MMAE is unknown.

Drug Interaction Trials

No clinical trials evaluating the drug-drug interaction potential of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv have been conducted.

Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Modeling Predictions:

Dual P-gp and Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitor: Concomitant use of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv with ketoconazole (a dual P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitor) is predicted to increase unconjugated MMAE Cmax by 15% and AUC by 38%.

Dual P-gp and Strong CYP3A4 Inducer: Concomitant use of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv with rifampin (a dual P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inducer) is predicted to decrease unconjugated MMAE Cmax by 28% and AUC by 53%.

Sensitive CYP3A substrates: Concomitant use of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv is predicted not to affect exposure to midazolam (a sensitive CYP3A substrate).

In Vitro Studies

Transporter Systems: MMAE is a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), but not an inhibitor of P-gp.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

Carcinogenicity studies with enfortumab vedotin-ejfv or the small molecule cytotoxic agent (MMAE) have not been conducted.

MMAE was genotoxic in the rat bone marrow micronucleus study through an aneugenic mechanism. This effect is consistent with the pharmacological effect of MMAE as a microtubule-disrupting agent. MMAE was not mutagenic in the bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test) or the L5178Y mouse lymphoma forward mutation assay.

Fertility studies with enfortumab vedotin-ejfv or MMAE have not been conducted. However, results of repeat-dose toxicity studies in rats indicate the potential for enfortumab vedotin-ejfv to impair male reproductive function and fertility.

In repeat-dose toxicology studies conducted in rats for up to 13 weeks, doses ≥2 mg/kg enfortumab vedotin-ejfv (at exposures similar to the exposures at the recommended human dose) resulted in decreases in testes and epididymis weights, seminiferous tubule degeneration, spermatid/spermatocyte depletion in the testes and cell debris, sperm granuloma and hypospermia/abnormal spermatids in the epididymis. Findings in the testes and epididymis did not reverse by the end of the recovery period.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES

14.1 Metastatic Urothelial Cancer

Previously Treated Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma

EV-301

The efficacy of PADCEV was evaluated in EV-301 (NCT03474107), an open-label, randomized, multicenter trial that enrolled 608 patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer who received prior treatment with a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor and platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either PADCEV 1.25 mg/kg on Days 1, 8 and 15 of a 28-day cycle or investigator’s choice of chemotherapy. Randomization was stratified by ECOG PS (0 vs 1), region of world (Western Europe vs US vs Rest of World), and presence of liver metastasis.

Patients were excluded if they had active central nervous system (CNS) metastases, ongoing sensory or motor neuropathy ≥Grade 2, or uncontrolled diabetes defined as hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) ≥8% or HbA1c ≥7% with associated diabetes symptoms.

The median age was 68 years (range: 30 to 88 years) and 77% were male. Racial demographics were reported as White (52%), Asian (33%), Black (0.7%), Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (0.2%) or not reported (15%). Nine percent of patients were Hispanic or Latino. All patients had a baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 (40%) or 1 (60%). Thirty-four percent of patients had tumors located in the upper tract that included the renal pelvis and ureter. Eighty percent of patients had visceral metastases including 31% with liver metastases. Seventy-six percent of patients had pure transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) histology; 14% had TCC with other histologic variants; and 10% had other tumor histologies including adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The median number of prior therapies was 2 (range 1 to ≥3). Sixty-three percent of patients received prior cisplatin-based regimens, 26% received prior carboplatin-based regimens, and an additional 11% received both cisplatin and carboplatin-based regimens. Patients on the control arm received docetaxel (38%), paclitaxel (36%) or vinflunine (25%).

The major efficacy outcome measures were overall survival (OS), progression free survival (PFS), and overall response rate (ORR) assessed by investigator using RECIST v1.1. Efficacy results were consistent across all stratified patient subgroups.

EV-201, Cohort 1

The efficacy of PADCEV was also investigated in Cohort 1 of EV-201, a single-arm, multi-cohort, multicenter trial that enrolled 125 patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer who received prior treatment with a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor and a platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients were excluded if they had active central nervous system (CNS) metastases, ongoing sensory or motor neuropathy ≥Grade 2, heart failure, or uncontrolled diabetes defined as hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) ≥8% or HbA1c ≥7% with associated diabetes symptoms.

PADCEV was administered at a dose of 1.25 mg/kg, as an intravenous (IV) infusion on days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle.

The median age was 69 years (range: 40 to 84 years) and 70% were male. Racial demographics were reported as White (85%), Asian (9%), Black (2%), Other (0.8%) or not reported (4%). Four percent of patients were Hispanic or Latino. All patients had a baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 (32%) or 1 (68%). Ninety percent of patients had visceral metastases including 40% with liver metastases. Approximately two-thirds (67%) of patients had pure transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) histology; 33% had TCC with other histologic variants. The median number of prior systemic therapies was 3 (range: 1 to 6). Sixty-six percent of patients received prior cisplatin-based regimens, 26% received prior carboplatin-based regimens, and an additional 8% received both cisplatin and carboplatin-based regimens.

The major efficacy outcome measures were confirmed objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) using RECIST v1.1.

Efficacy results are presented in Table 11.

Cisplatin Ineligible Patients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma

The efficacy of PADCEV was also evaluated in Cohort 2 of EV-201, a single-arm, multi-cohort, multicenter trial in 89 patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer who received prior treatment with a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor, and were cisplatin ineligible and did not receive platinum in the locally advanced or metastatic setting. Patients were excluded if they had active CNS metastases, ongoing sensory or motor neuropathy ≥Grade 2, heart failure, or uncontrolled diabetes defined as hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) ≥8% or HbA1c ≥7% with associated diabetes symptoms.

PADCEV was administered at a dose of 1.25 mg/kg, as an intravenous (IV) infusion on days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle.

The median age was 75 years (range: 49 to 90 years), 74% were male. Racial demographics were reported as White (70%), Asian (22%) or not reported (8%). One percent of patients were Hispanic or Latino. Patients had a baseline ECOG performance status of 0 (42%), 1 (46%) and 2 (12%). Forty-three percent of patients had tumors located in the upper tract that included the renal pelvis and ureter. Seventy-nine percent of patients had visceral metastases and 24% had liver metastases.

Reasons for cisplatin ineligibility included: 66% with baseline creatinine clearance of 30 – 59 mL/min, 7% with ECOG PS of 2, 15% with Grade 2 or greater hearing loss, and 12% with more than one cisplatin-ineligibility criteria.
