(Nasdaq: SGEN) today presented interim data from two cohorts of the
Phase 1b/2 innovaTV 205 multi-cohort, open-label trial of tisotumab
vedotin in recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer at the European
Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Virtual Congress 2021 as part
of a featured mini oral presentation. Initial results from these
two dose expansion cohorts of the study showed encouraging and
durable anti-tumor activity with tisotumab vedotin in combination
with carboplatin (Cohort D) as first-line therapy for patients with
advanced cervical cancer who had not received prior systemic
therapy, with a 55% objective response rate (ORR) and with
tisotumab vedotin in combination with pembrolizumab (Cohort F) for
patients with advanced cervical cancer who experienced disease
progression after 1-2 lines of prior systemic therapy, with a 38%
ORR. Both combinations demonstrated a manageable and acceptable
safety profile, with no new safety signals identified.
"For patients diagnosed with recurrent or metastatic cervical
cancer, there is a need for additional treatment options in the
first-, second- and third-line settings," said Ignace B. Vergote,
M.D., Ph.D., co-founder of European Network of Gynaecological
Oncological Trial groups (ENGOT), and lead investigator on the
innovaTV 205/ENGOT-cx8/GOG-3024 clinical trial. "Interim results
from the innovaTV 205 study show the potential for tisotumab
vedotin to treat these patients, with encouraging response rates in
combination with carboplatin and also in combination with
pembrolizumab."
"We are pleased to share the initial results from the innovaTV
205 study, as these data build upon our understanding of the
potential for tisotumab vedotin as a combination therapy in first-
and second-line treatment of recurrent or metastatic cervical
cancer," said Jan van de Winkel, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer,
Genmab. "We recognize the need for new therapies for patients with
cervical cancer globally and are committed to advancing the
tisotumab vedotin development program."
"As we advance our clinical development program for tisotumab
vedotin into earlier lines of therapy in cervical cancer, we're
encouraged by these interim results of the combination cohorts with
tisotumab vedotin, " said Roger Dansey, M.D., Chief Medical
Officer, Seagen. "Based on these results from the innovaTV 205
study, we also plan to evaluate tisotumab vedotin further in
various combinations in first-line metastatic or recurrent cervical
cancer."

37.1%; Grade >=3: 2.9%), with one patient experiencing a Grade 4 bleeding
event.
Additionally, Genmab and Seagen presented data from
dose-escalation cohorts of the innovaTV 205 study at the 2021
International Gynecologic Cancer Society (IGCS) Annual Meeting held
August 30 -- September 2, 2021.
About Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer originates in the cells lining the cervix. In
2021, an estimated 14,480 new cases of invasive cervical cancer
will be diagnosed in the U.S., and 4,290 women will die from the
disease.(1) Cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of
cancer death in women globally, with over 311,000 women dying
annually; the vast majority of these women are in the developing
world.(2) Routine medical examinations and human papillomavirus
(HPV) vaccines have lowered the incidence of cervical cancer in the
developed world. Despite these advances, women are still diagnosed
with cervical cancer, which often recurs or becomes metastatic.
Current therapies for previously treated recurrent or metastatic
cervical cancer generally result in limited objective response
rates of typically less than 15 percent, with median overall
survival ranging from 6.0 to 9.4 months.(3) (,) (4) (,) (5) (,) (6)
(,) (7) (,) (8) (,) (9) (,) (10)
About the innovaTV 205 Trial
The innovaTV 205 trial (also known as ENGOT-cx8/GOG-3024) is a
Phase 1b/2 open-label, multi-center trial of tisotumab vedotin
monotherapy and in combination with bevacizumab, pembrolizumab, or
carboplatin in patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical
cancer. The study consists of two parts: dose escalation (Cohorts
A, B, and C) and dose expansion (Cohorts D, E, F and G). Patients
enrolled in the dose escalation cohorts have progressed during or
after standard of care therapy or are intolerant or ineligible to
receive standard of care treatments. The primary objective is to
identify and establish the maximum tolerated dose and Recommended
Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of tisotumab vedotin as combination therapy.
Within the dose expansion cohorts, patients with recurrent or
metastatic cervical cancer who have not previously received prior
systemic therapy are treated in Cohorts D and E, with patients who
have progressed on or after standard of care treatments evaluated
in Cohorts F and G.

About Tisotumab Vedotin
Tisotumab vedotin is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) composed
of Genmab's fully human monoclonal antibody specific for tissue
factor and Seagen's ADC technology that utilizes a
protease-cleavable linker that covalently attaches the
microtubule-disrupting agent monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) to the
antibody and releases it upon internalization, inducing programmed
cell death. In cancer biology, tissue factor is a cell-surface
protein and is associated with tumor growth, angiogenesis,
metastasis and poor prognosis.(11) Tissue factor was selected as a
target for an ADC approach based on its increased levels of
expression on multiple solid tumors and its rapid
internalization.
Tisotumab vedotin is being evaluated in a global Phase 3,
randomized clinical trial called innovaTV 301 versus investigator's
choice of chemotherapy in recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.
The primary endpoint is overall survival, and secondary endpoints
include progression-free survival, duration of response, objective
response rate, safety and tolerability. Enrollment is ongoing and
the study is intended to support global registrations. More
information about the innovaTV 301 clinical trial, including
enrolling sites, is available here
https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=cD3hLvmWi2ZH4mY-77XUjW6igyhl889GV6HuHg1yRGIgP4wpcEN_12E2yLwyNtu7hZE5qRBDnK9WoqIM85Vd0NaGh-09R3TFkitk9OIAG5ETBnU-8AWWMRixwOd4MaVjlo9e_o-AUj0XGKucO5EMPG4v0w5L0Uyx5FVqie7w4So=
. In addition, tisotumab vedotin is being evaluated in ongoing
clinical trials as monotherapy in recurrent or metastatic cervical
cancer, ovarian cancer, and other solid tumors and in combination
with commonly used therapies in recurrent or metastatic cervical
cancer.
Additional clinical studies for tisotumab vedotin include Phase
2 studies in second-/third-line recurrent or metastatic cervical
cancer as monotherapy (innovaTV 204), a Phase 2 study in
first-/second-line recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer as
monotherapy or in combination with other agents (innovaTV 205) and
additional studies in various solid tumors.
