aThe recommended dosage guidelines are appropriate for patients up to a maximum of 200 mg for patients ≥100 kg. For patients who weigh >100 kg, the calculation of the dose should be normalized to 100 kg (i.e., 2.0 mg/kg x 100 kg = 200 mg). This equation is based on the recommended dose and does not include dose modifications. It should not replace professional judgment or clinical experience.
Dosage modification
Modify the Tivdak dose1
Some patients may experience adverse reactions that require dose modifications. The recommended dose modifications for adverse reactions are provided below. Refer patients to an eye care provider promptly for an assessment of new or worsening ocular signs and symptoms.

Important Safety Information
BOXED WARNING: OCULAR TOXICITY
TIVDAK caused changes in the corneal epithelium and conjunctiva resulting in changes in vision, including severe vision loss, and corneal ulceration. Conduct an ophthalmic exam at baseline, prior to each dose, and as clinically indicated. Adhere to premedication and required eye care before, during, and after infusion. Withhold TIVDAK until improvement and resume, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue, based on severity.
Warnings and Precautions
Ocular Adverse Reactions occurred in 60% of patients with cervical cancer treated with TIVDAK across clinical trials. The most common were conjunctival adverse reactions (40%), dry eye (29%), corneal adverse reactions (21%), and blepharitis (8%). Grade 3 ocular adverse reactions occurred in 3.8% of patients, including severe ulcerative keratitis in 3.2% of patients. One patient experienced ulcerative keratitis with perforation requiring corneal transplantation. Cases of symblepharon were reported in patients with other tumor types treated with TIVDAK at the recommended dose.
In innovaTV 204, 4% of patients experienced visual acuity changes to 20/50 or worse including 1% of patients who experienced a visual acuity change to 20/200. Of the patients who experienced decreased visual acuity to 20/50 or worse, 75% resolved, including the patient who experienced decreased visual acuity to 20/200.
Refer patients to an eye care provider for an ophthalmic exam including visual acuity and slit lamp exam at baseline, prior to each dose, and as clinically indicated. Adhere to premedication and required eye care to reduce the risk of ocular adverse reactions. Promptly refer patients to an eye care provider for any new or worsening ocular signs and symptoms. Withhold dose, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue TIVDAK based on the severity of the adverse reaction.
Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) occurred in 42% of cervical cancer patients treated with TIVDAK across clinical trials; 8% of patients experienced Grade 3 PN. PN adverse reactions included peripheral neuropathy (20%), peripheral sensory neuropathy (11%), peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy (5%), motor neuropathy (3%), muscular weakness (3%), and demyelinating peripheral polyneuropathy (1%). One patient with another tumor type treated with TIVDAK at the recommended dose developed Guillain-Barre syndrome. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of neuropathy. For new or worsening PN, withhold, dose reduce, or permanently discontinue TIVDAK based on the severity of PN.
Hemorrhage occurred in 62% of cervical cancer patients treated with TIVDAK across clinical trials. The most common all grade hemorrhage adverse reactions were epistaxis (44%), hematuria (10%), and vaginal hemorrhage (10%). Grade 3 hemorrhage occurred in 5% of patients.
Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hemorrhage. For patients experiencing pulmonary or CNS hemorrhage, permanently discontinue TIVDAK. For Grade ≥2 hemorrhage in any other location, withhold until bleeding has resolved, blood hemoglobin is stable, there is no bleeding diathesis that could increase the risk of continuing therapy, and there is no anatomical or pathologic condition that can increase the risk of hemorrhage recurrence. After resolution, either resume treatment or permanently discontinue TIVDAK.
Pneumonitis: Severe, life-threatening, or fatal pneumonitis can occur in patients treated with antibody-drug conjugates containing vedotin, including TIVDAK. Among patients with cervical cancer treated with TIVDAK across clinical trials, 2 patients (1.3%) experienced pneumonitis, including 1 patient who had a fatal outcome.
Monitor patients for pulmonary symptoms of pneumonitis. Infectious, neoplastic, and other causes for symptoms should be excluded through appropriate investigations.
Withhold TIVDAK for patients who develop persistent or recurrent Grade 2 pneumonitis and consider dose reduction. Permanently discontinue TIVDAK in all patients with Grade 3 or 4 pneumonitis.

Use in Specific Populations
Moderate or Severe Hepatic Impairment: MMAE exposure and adverse reactions are increased. Avoid use.
Lactation: Advise lactating women not to breastfeed during TIVDAK treatment and for at least 3 weeks after the last dose.

Tivdak is an ADC offering a different approach to previously-treated recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.
Let's take a deeper look and explore the Tivdak mechanism of action.
Tivdak was designed with 3 components: a novel, fully human monoclonal antibody directed against a cell surface protein called Tissue Factor.
Tissue Factor is prevalent on cervical cancer cells and is also present on some epithelial cells.
Nonclinical data suggest Tissue Factor expression is associated with cancer pathophysiology and tumor development.
The second component of Tivdak is the cytotoxic agent, monomethyl auristatin E, or MMAE, a potent microtubule disruptor, and the third component is a protease-cleavable linker that attaches the cytotoxic agent to the monoclonal antibody.
Each component plays a crucial role in the Tivdak mechanism of action.
Nonclinical data suggest the anticancer activity of Tivdak is a result of Tivdak binding to Tissue Factor–expressing cells.
Then the Tivdak and Tissue Factor complex is internalized and trafficked to the lysosomes, and MMAE is released from the antibody via proteolytic cleavage.
MMAE disrupts the microtubule network of actively dividing cells.
This disruption leads to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.
In vitro, Tivdak also mediates antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity.
With ADC technology, Tivdak provides the potency of a cytotoxic agent, combined with the specificity of an antibody, which gives you the opportunity to try a different approach when treating your eligible patients.

TIVDAK is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer with disease progression on or after chemotherapy.
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on tumor response rate and durability of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.
