Tivdak Generic Name & Formulations

General Description

Tisotumab vedotin-tftv 40mg; per vial; lyophilized cake or pwd for IV infusion after reconstitution and dilution; preservative-free.

Pharmacological Class

Tissue factor (TF)-directed antibody drug conjugate (ADC).

How Supplied

Single-dose vial—1

Manufacturer

Generic Availability

NO

Mechanism of Action

The anticancer activity of tisotumab vedotin-tftv is due to the binding of the antibody drug conjugate to tissue factor expressing cancer cells, followed by internalization of the ADC-TF complex, and release of monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) via proteolytic cleavage. MMAE disrupts the microtubule network of actively dividing cells, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptotic cell death.
