Enfortumab vedotin Brand Name– PADCEV

What is Enfortumab vedotin

Enfortumab vedotin is an antibody-drug conjugate that targets Nectin-4, an adhesion protein located on the surface of cells.

It is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer who have previously received a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor, and a platinum-containing chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant/adjuvant, locally advanced, or metastatic setting.

In a multicenter, noncomparative trial, it was associated with peripheral neuropathy, ocular disorders, and skin reactions in approximately half of the patients who received treatment.

It has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment and should be avoided under these circumstances
