innovaTV 301/ENGOT-cx12/GOG-3057: A Global, Randomized, Open-Label, Phase 3 Study of Tisotumab Vedotin vs Investigator’s Choice of Chemotherapy in 2L or 3L Recurrent or Metastatic Cervical Cancer
Brian Slomovitz, MD, provides a look at an upcoming Rapid Readout program looking at the results of a phase 3 study of tisotumab vedotin in patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.
Background
Tisotumab vedotin (TV) is an investigational antibody-drug conjugate composed of a tissue factor-directed human monoclonal antibody covalently linked to cytotoxic MMAE.
In the US, TV monotherapy received accelerated approval for the treatment of adult patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer (r/mCC) with disease progression on or after chemotherapy.
Here, innovaTV 301 (NCT04697628) study results of TV vs investigator’s choice of chemotherapy in pts with r/mCC following 1L therapy are presented.
Methods
Eligible patients had r/mCC with disease progression on/after treatment with standard of care chemotherapy doublet ± bevacizumab ± anti-PD-(L)1 therapy, measurable disease per RECIST v1.1, and ECOG PS 0-1.
Patients were randomized 1:1 to TV monotherapy or investigator's choice of topotecan, vinorelbine, gemcitabine, irinotecan, or pemetrexed.
The primary endpoint was OS.
Key secondary endpoints included PFS and confirmed ORR by investigator.
Results
502 pts were randomized (TV: 253; chemotherapy: 249)
Median survival follow-up was 10.8 mo (95% CI, 10.3-11.6).
Overall, median age was 50 yrs (range: 26-80)
Arms were balanced for demographics and disease characteristics
63.9% and 27.5% of patients had prior bevacizumab and prior anti-PD-(L)1 therapy, respectively.
The TV arm had a 30% reduction in risk of death vs chemotherapy (HR 0.70; 95% CI 0.54-0.89; P=0.0038), with significantly longer median OS (11.5 mo [95% CI 9.8-14.9] vs 9.5 mo [95% CI 7.9-10.7]).
PFS was superior in the TV vs chemotherapy arm (HR: 0.67 [95% CI, 0.54-0.82]; P<0.0001).
Confirmed ORR was 17.8% and 5.2% in the TV and chemotherapy arms, respectively (odds ratio: 4.0; 95% CI, 2.1-7.6; P<0.0001).
Most patients experienced at least 1 treatment-related adverse event (TV: 87.6% [grade ≥3: 29.2%] vs chemotherapy: 85.4% [grade ≥3: 45.2%]).
AEs were consistent with the known TV safety profile, including for ocular, peripheral neuropathy, and bleeding AEs.
Conclusions
In the phase 3 innovaTV 301 study, TV showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in OS, PFS, and ORR vs chemotherapy, with a manageable and tolerable safety profile in pts with 2L/3L r/mCC.
