TIVDAK
TIVDAK (tisotumab vedotin-tftv) is a tissue factor-directed antibody and microtubule inhibitor conjugate. It is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer. This therapy is specifically intended for patients who have experienced disease progression on or after chemotherapy.
How TIVDAK Works
Tisotumab vedotin-tftv is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that targets cell surface tissue factor (TF). Upon binding to TF-expressing cancer cells, the ADC is internalized and releases MMAE, a microtubule-disrupting agent, via proteolytic cleavage. This process disrupts the microtubule network within actively dividing cells, resulting in cell cycle arrest and apoptotic cell death.
