Tivdak Prescribing Information
• TIVDAK can cause severe ocular toxicities resulting in changes in vision, including severe vision loss, and corneal ulceration.[see].5.1 Ocular Adverse ReactionsTIVDAK can cause severe ocular adverse reactions, including conjunctivitis, keratopathy (keratitis, punctate keratitis, and ulcerative keratitis), and dry eye (increased lacrimation, eye pain, eye discharge, pruritus, irritation, and foreign body sensation), that may lead to changes in vision and/or corneal ulceration.
Ocular adverse reactions occurred in 55% of patients with cervical cancer treated with TIVDAK across clinical trials. The most common ocular adverse reactions were conjunctivitis (32%), dry eye (24%), keratopathy (17%), and blepharitis (5%). Grade 3 ocular adverse reactions occurred in 3.3% of patients, including severe ulcerative keratitis in 1.2% of patients. Nine patients (2.1%) experienced ulcerative keratitis (including one with perforation requiring corneal transplantation), six (1.4%) conjunctival ulcer, four (0.9%) corneal erosion, two (0.5%) conjunctival erosion, and two (0.5%) symblepharon.
The median time to onset of the first ocular adverse reaction was 1.2 months (range, 0-17.1). Of the patients who experienced ocular events, 59% had complete resolution and 31% had partial improvement (defined as a decrease in severity by one or more grades from the worst grade) at last follow up. Ocular adverse reactions led to permanent discontinuation of TIVDAK in 6% of patients with cervical cancer.
In innovaTV 301, 8 (3.2%) patients experienced delayed ocular adverse reactions occurring more than 30 days after discontinuation of TIVDAK. These adverse reactions included 3 patients with ulcerative keratitis, and one patient (each) with keratitis, punctate keratitis and corneal erosion, blepharitis and conjunctival hyperemia, conjunctival scar, and conjunctivitis and xerophthalmia.
Refer patients to an eye care provider to conduct an ophthalmic exam prior to initiation of TIVDAK, prior to every cycle for the first nine cycles, and as clinically indicated. The exam should include visual acuity, slit lamp exam of the anterior segment of the eye, and an assessment of normal eye movement and ocular signs or symptoms which include dry or irritated eyes, eye secretions or blurry vision.
Adhere to the required premedication and eye care before, during, and after infusion to reduce the risk of ocular adverse reactions
[seeDosage and Administration (2.2)].Monitor for ocular toxicity and promptly refer patients to an eye care provider for any new or worsening ocular signs and symptoms. Withhold, reduce, or permanently discontinue TIVDAK based on the severity or persistence of the ocular adverse reaction
[seeDosage and Administration (2.3)].• Conduct an ophthalmic exam, including an assessment of ocular symptoms, visual acuity, and slit lamp exam of the anterior segment of the eye prior to initiation of TIVDAK, prior to every cycle for the first nine cycles, and as clinically indicated.[see.and2.2 Premedication and Required Eye CareAdhere to the following recommendations to reduce the risk of ocular adverse reactions
[see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].• Ophthalmic exam by eye care provider:Conduct an ophthalmic exam prior to initiation of TIVDAK, prior to every cycle for the first nine cycles, and as clinically indicated. The ophthalmic exam should include visual acuity, slit lamp exam of the anterior segment of the eye, and an assessment of normal eye movement.• Topical corticosteroid eye drops:Instruct patients to administer one drop in each eye prior to each infusion and to continue to administer eye drops in each eye three times daily for 72 hours after each infusion. The initial prescription and all renewals of any corticosteroid medication should be made only after examination with a slit lamp.• Topical ocular vasoconstrictor drops:Administer in each eye immediately prior to each infusion of TIVDAK.• Cold packs:Use cooling eye pads during each infusion of TIVDAK.• Topical lubricating eye drops:Instruct patients to administer for the duration of therapy and for 30 days after the last dose of TIVDAK.• Contact lenses:Advise patients to avoid wearing contact lenses for the entire duration of therapy unless advised by their eye care provider.

• The recommended dose of TIVDAK is 2 mg/kg (up to a maximum of 200 mg) given as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ()2.1 Recommended DosageThe recommended dose of TIVDAK is 2 mg/kg (up to a maximum of 200 mg for patients ≥100 kg) administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
For Injection: 40 mg of tisotumab vedotin-tftv as a white to off-white lyophilized cake or powder in a single-dose vial for reconstitution.
• Moderate or severe hepatic impairment: Exposure to MMAE and adverse reactions are increased. Avoid use. ()8.6 Hepatic ImpairmentAvoid use of TIVDAK in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment [aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or total bilirubin > 1.5 × ULN]
[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].In patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ ULN and AST >ULN or total bilirubin > 1 to 1.5 × ULN and any AST), closely monitor patients for adverse reactions of TIVDAK, but no dosage adjustment in the starting dose of TIVDAK is recommended.
• Lactation: Advise women not to breastfeed. ()8.2 LactationRisk SummaryThere are no data on the presence of tisotumab vedotin-tftv 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 TIVDAK and for 3 weeks after the last dose.
None.
