12. Clinical Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action

Tisotumab vedotin is an antibody-drug conjugate comprising a human anti-tissue factor (TF) IgG1 monoclonal antibody conjugated to MMAE via a protease-cleavable MC-vc-PAB linker. Tissue factor is a transmembrane protein overexpressed on many solid tumors, including cervical cancer. Upon TF binding and internalization, MMAE is released intracellularly, disrupting the microtubule network and inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Additionally, the bystander effect of released MMAE can kill nearby TF-negative tumor cells.

Pharmacokinetics

Tmax: end of infusion. ADC half-life: approximately 3.1 days. Payload (MMAE) half-life: 2-4 days. Clearance: 1.63 L/day. Vd: 9.3 L. MMAE metabolized by CYP3A4. Steady-state by Cycle 3.

14. Clinical Studies
