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.
Figure 1.
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.
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.

Pharmacodynamics
Mechanism of Action Enfortumab vedotin-ejfv is an ADC.
The antibody is a human
IgG1 kappa 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 apoptosis.
The combination of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv with a PD-1 blocking antibody resulted in up-regulation of immune function and increased anti-tumor activity in syngeneic mouse tumor models expressing Nectin-4. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics In an exposure-response analysis for safety, 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.
At the recommended dose, PADCEV had no large QTc prolongation (>20 msec). 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Enfortumab vedotin-ejfv (ADC) pharmacokinetics were characterized after single and multiple doses in patients with solid tumors.
The pharmacokinetics of the ADC and unconjugated MMAE were consistent when assessed following PADCEV administration as a single agent and in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab after 1 treatment cycle.
The exposure parameters of the ADC and unconjugated MMAE (the cytotoxic component of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv) are summarized in Table 17 below.
ADC concentrations were observed near the end of intravenous infusion while peak unconjugated MMAE concentrations were observed approximately 2 days after PADCEV dosing.
Minimal accumulation of the ADC and unconjugated MMAE was observed following repeat administration of PADCEV in patients.
Steady-state concentrations of the
ADC were reached after 1 treatment cycle for the ADC as a single agent and in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab.
Table 17.
Exposure Parameters of the ADC and Unconjugated MMAE after First Treatment Cycle of 1.25 mg/kg of PADCEV Dose of Days 1, 8, and 15 C max = maximum concentration, AUC 0-28d = area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to 28 days, C trough,0-28d = pre-dose concentration on day 28.
Mean (± SD) Unconjugated MMAE Mean (± SD) C max 28 µg/mL 5.5 ng/mL AUC 0-28d 110 µg∙d/mL 85 ng∙d/mL C trough,0-28d 0.31 µg/mL 0.81 ng/mL Distribution The estimated mean steady-state volume of distribution of the ADC was 12.8 L following administration of PADCEV.
In vitro, plasma protein binding of unconjugated MMAE ranged from 68% to 82%.
Elimination The ADC and unconjugated
MMAE exhibited multi-exponential declines with an elimination half-life of 3.6 days and 2.6 days, respectively.
The mean clearance (CL) of the ADC and unconjugated MMAE was 0.11 L/h and 2.11 L/h, respectively.
Elimination of unconjugated
MMAE appeared to be limited by its rate of release from the ADC.
Metabolism Catabolism of the
ADC 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.
The ADC releases
MMAE via proteolytic cleavage, and unconjugated MMAE is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 in vitro.
Excretion The excretion of the
ADC is not fully characterized.
Following a single-dose of another ADC that contains unconjugated MMAE, 17% of the total unconjugated MMAE administered was recovered in feces and 6% in urine over a 1-week period, primarily as unchanged form.
A similar excretion profile of unconjugated MMAE is expected after PADCEV administration.
No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of the ADC or unconjugated MMAE were identified based on age (24 to 90 years), sex, race (White, Asian, or Black), renal impairment, and mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin of to 1.5 × ULN and any AST, or total bilirubin ≤ULN and AST >ULN).
The effect of end-stage renal disease with or without dialysis and moderate or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >1.5 × ULN and any AST) on the pharmacokinetics of the ADC or unconjugated MMAE is unknown.
No clinical trials evaluating the drug-drug interaction potential of the ADC have been conducted.
Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Modeling Predictions: Dual P-gp and Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitor: Concomitant use of PADCEV with ketoconazole (a dual P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitor) is predicted to increase unconjugated MMAE C max by 15% and AUC by 38%.
CYP3A4 Inducer: Concomitant use of PADCEV with rifampin (a dual P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inducer) is predicted to decrease unconjugated MMAE C max by 28% and AUC by 53%.
CYP3A Substrates: Concomitant use of PADCEV is predicted not to affect exposure to midazolam (a sensitive CYP3A substrate).
MMAE is a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and is not an inhibitor of P-gp. 12.6 Immunogenicity The observed incidence of anti-drug antibody (ADA) is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay.
Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of ADA in the studies described below with the incidence of ADA in other studies, including those of PADCEV or of other enfortumab vedotin products.
ADA was evaluated during the treatment periods (up to 5.5 years) in nine clinical studies of PADCEV as a single agent or in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab at the approved recommended dosages.
- 3.7% (25/684) of patients who received PADCEV as a single agent.
- 1.3% (2/156) of patients who received PADCEV in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab for the treatment of MIBC.
- 7% (34/485) of patients who received PADCEV in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab for the treatment of locally advanced or mUC.
Because of the low occurrence of
ADA, the effect of the ADA on the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and/or effectiveness of PADCEV is unknown.

Pregnancy
Based on the mechanism of action and findings in animals, PADCEV can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.
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 similar to the exposures at the recommended human dose of 1.25 mg/kg.
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.
In a rat pilot embryo-fetal development study, administration of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv on gestation day 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 (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.
