(NYSE: PFE) announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) has accepted the supplemental Biologics
License Application (sBLA) seeking to convert the accelerated
approval of TIVDAK(R) (tisotumab vedotin-tftv) to full approval,
for the treatment of patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical
cancer with disease progression on or after first-line therapy. The
application has been granted Priority Review with a Prescription
Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of May 9, 2024.
The sBLA is supported by efficacy and safety data from the
global, randomized Phase 3 innovaTV 301 trial (NCT04697628), in
which tisotumab vedotin-tftv demonstrated superior overall survival
(OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and confirmed objective
response rate (ORR), as assessed by the investigator, in patients
with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer compared to
chemotherapy. The safety profile of tisotumab vedotin-tftv in
innovaTV 301 was consistent with its known safety profile as
presented in the U.S. prescribing information. In October 2023,
results from the innovaTV 301 study were presented

during the Presidential Symposium at the European Society of
Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress.
"Therapeutic options for metastatic cervical cancer that not
only demonstrate a survival advantage but also include a novel
approach to treating this condition are needed," said Jan van de
Winkel, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer, Genmab. "This milestone
underscores our commitment to continuing to deliver TIVDAK as a
treatment option to women in the U.S. diagnosed with cervical
cancer whose disease has progressed after first-line
treatment."
"The Phase 3 innovaTV 301 trial demonstrated a favorable
benefit/risk profile, including improvement in overall survival,
and adds to the overall data supporting TIVDAK as a treatment
option for people with recurrent and metastatic cervical cancer who
have limited treatment options," said Roger Dansey, M.D., Chief
Development Officer, Oncology, Pfizer. "The FDA acceptance of our
sBLA for review is important progress toward continuing to offer an
option that can extend the lives of more adults with cervical
cancer."
About Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer remains a disease with high unmet need despite
advances in effective vaccination and screening practices to
prevent and diagnose pre-/early-stage cancers for curative
treatment. Recurrent and/or metastatic cervical cancer is a
particularly devastating and mostly incurable disease; up to 15
percent of adults with cervical cancer are diagnosed with
metastatic disease at diagnosis(1) (,) (2) and, for adults
diagnosed at earlier stages who receive treatment, up to 31.5
percent will experience disease recurrence.(3) It was estimated
that, in 2023, more than 13,960 new cases of invasive cervical
cancer were diagnosed in the U.S. and 4,310 adults would die from
the disease.(4)
About the innovaTV 301 Trial
The innovaTV 301 trial (NCT04697628) is a global, randomized,
open-label Phase 3 trial evaluating tisotumab vedotin-tftv versus
investigator's choice of chemotherapy alone (topotecan,
vinorelbine, gemcitabine, irinotecan, or pemetrexed) in 502
patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who received
no more than two prior systemic regimens in the recurrent or
metastatic setting.
Patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer with
squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous histology, and
disease progression during or after treatment with chemotherapy
doublet +/- bevacizumab and an anti-PD-(L)1 agent (if eligible) are
included. The primary endpoint is overall survival. The main
secondary outcomes are progression-free survival, confirmed
objective response rate, time to response, and duration of
response, as assessed by the investigator, as well as safety and
quality of life outcomes.
The study was conducted by Seagen, recently acquired by Pfizer,
in collaboration with Genmab, European Network of Gynaecological
Oncological Trial Groups (ENGOT, study number ENGOT cx-12) and the
Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) Foundation (study number GOG
3057). For more information about the Phase 3 innovaTV 301 clinical
trial and other clinical trials with tisotumab vedotin, please

About TIVDAK (tisotumab vedotin-tftv)
TIVDAK (tisotumab vedotin-tftv) is an antibody-drug conjugate
(ADC) composed of Genmab's human monoclonal antibody directed to
tissue factor (TF) and Pfizer's ADC technology that utilizes a
protease-cleavable linker that covalently attaches the
microtubule-disrupting agent monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) to the
antibody. Determination of TF expression is not required.
Nonclinical data suggest that the anticancer activity of tisotumab
vedotin-tftv is due to the binding of the ADC to TF-expressing
cancer cells, followed by internalization of the ADC-TF complex,
and release of MMAE via proteolytic cleavage. MMAE disrupts the
microtubule network of actively dividing cells, leading to cell
cycle arrest and apoptotic cell death. In vitro, tisotumab
vedotin-tftv also mediates antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis
and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity.
TIVDAK was granted accelerated approval in the U.S. by the FDA
in September 2021. The accelerated approval is based on tumor
response and durability of response from the innovaTV 204 pivotal
Phase 2 single-arm clinical trial evaluating TIVDAK as monotherapy
in patients with previously treated recurrent or metastatic
cervical cancer. The data from innovaTV 301 will support global
regulatory submissions.

regulatory approval dates and/or launch dates, as well as the
possibility of unfavorable new clinical data and further analyses
of existing clinical data; the risk that clinical trial data are
subject to differing interpretations and assessments by regulatory
authorities; whether regulatory authorities will be satisfied with
the design of and results from our clinical studies; whether and
when drug applications may be filed in particular jurisdictions for
TIVDAK; whether and when any applications that may be pending or
filed for TIVDAK may be approved by regulatory authorities
(including the sBLA seeking to convert the accelerated approval of
