INTERACTIONS Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Closely monitor for TIVDAK adverse reactions. ( 7.1 )
7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on TIVDAK Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors MMAE is a CYP3A4 substrate. Concomitant use of TIVDAK with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase unconjugated MMAE exposure <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]</span> , which may increase the risk of TIVDAK adverse reactions. Closely monitor patients for adverse reactions of TIVDAK when used concomitantly with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors.
Contraindications

AND PRECAUTIONS
- Peripheral neuropathy: Monitor patients for new or worsening peripheral neuropathy. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue TIVDAK based on severity. ( 2.3 , 5.2 )
- Hemorrhage: Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hemorrhage. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue TIVDAK based on severity. ( 2.3 , 5.3 )
- Pneumonitis: Severe, life-threatening, or fatal pneumonitis may occur. Withhold TIVDAK for persistent or recurrent Grade 2 pneumonitis and consider dose reduction. Permanently discontinue TIVDAK for Grade 3 or 4 pneumonitis. ( 2.3 , 5.4 )
- Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions: Severe cutaneous adverse reactions, including events of fatal or life-threatening Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), can occur in patients treated with TIVDAK. Immediately withhold TIVDAK for suspected severe cutaneous adverse reactions, including SJS. Permanently discontinue TIVDAK for confirmed Grade 3 or 4 severe cutaneous adverse reactions, including SJS. ( 2.3 , 5.5 )
- Embryo-fetal toxicity: TIVDAK can cause fetal harm. Advise of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.6 , 8.1 , 8.3 )
5.1 Ocular Adverse Reactions TIVDAK can cause severe ocular adverse reactions, including conjunctivitis, keratopathy (keratitis, punctate keratitis, and ulcerative keratitis), and dry eye (increased lacrimation, eye pain, eye discharge, pruritus, irritation, and foreign body sensation), that may lead to changes in vision and/or corneal ulceration. Ocular adverse reactions occurred in 55% of patients with cervical cancer treated with TIVDAK across clinical trials. The most common ocular adverse reactions were conjunctivitis (32%), dry eye (24%), keratopathy (17%), and blepharitis (5%).
Grade
3 ocular adverse reactions occurred in 3.3% of patients, including severe ulcerative keratitis in 1.2% of patients. Nine patients (2.1%) experienced ulcerative keratitis (including one with perforation requiring corneal transplantation), six (1.4%) conjunctival ulcer, four (0.9%) corneal erosion, two (0.5%) conjunctival erosion, and two (0.5%) symblepharon. The median time to onset of the first ocular adverse reaction was 1.2 months (range, 0-17.1). Of the patients who experienced ocular events, 59% had complete resolution and 31% had partial improvement (defined as a decrease in severity by one or more grades from the worst grade) at last follow up. Ocular adverse reactions led to permanent discontinuation of TIVDAK in 6% of patients with cervical cancer. In innovaTV 301, 8 (3.2%) patients experienced delayed ocular adverse reactions occurring more than 30 days after discontinuation of TIVDAK. These adverse reactions included 3 patients with ulcerative keratitis, and one patient (each) with keratitis, punctate keratitis and corneal erosion, blepharitis and conjunctival hyperemia, conjunctival scar, and conjunctivitis and xerophthalmia. Refer patients to an eye care provider to conduct an ophthalmic exam prior to initiation of TIVDAK, prior to every cycle for the first nine cycles, and as clinically indicated. The exam should include visual acuity, slit lamp exam of the anterior segment of the eye, and an assessment of normal eye movement and ocular signs or symptoms which include dry or irritated eyes, eye secretions or blurry vision. Adhere to the required premedication and eye care before, during, and after infusion to reduce the risk of ocular adverse reactions [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ]. Monitor for ocular toxicity and promptly refer patients to an eye care provider for any new or worsening ocular signs and symptoms. Withhold, reduce, or permanently discontinue TIVDAK based on the severity or persistence of the ocular adverse reaction [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ].
5.2 Peripheral Neuropathy Peripheral neuropathy occurred in 39% of patients with cervical cancer treated with TIVDAK across clinical trials; 6% of patients experienced Grade 3 peripheral neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy adverse reactions included peripheral sensory neuropathy (23%), peripheral neuropathy (5%), paresthesia (3.8%), peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy (3.3%), muscular weakness (2.8%), and peripheral motor neuropathy (2.4%). One patient with another tumor type treated with TIVDAK at the recommended dose developed Guillain-Barre syndrome. The median time to onset of peripheral neuropathy was 2.4 months (range, 0-11.3). Of the patients who experienced peripheral neuropathy, 18% had complete resolution and 21% had partial improvement (defined as a decrease in severity by one or more grades from the worst grade) at last follow up. Peripheral neuropathy led to discontinuation of TIVDAK in 7% of patients with cervical cancer. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of neuropathy, such as paresthesia, tingling or a burning sensation, neuropathic pain, muscle weakness, or dysesthesia. For patients experiencing new or worsening peripheral neuropathy, withhold dose, then dose reduce, or permanently discontinue TIVDAK based on the severity of peripheral neuropathy <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ]</span> .
5.3 Hemorrhage Hemorrhage occurred in 51% of patients with cervical cancer treated with TIVDAK across clinical trials. The most common all grade hemorrhage adverse reaction was epistaxis (33%).
Grade
3 hemorrhage occurred in 4% of patients. The median time to onset of hemorrhage was 0.3 months (range, 0-10.4). Of the patients who experienced hemorrhage, 71% had complete resolution and 12% had partial resolution (defined as a decrease in severity by one or more grades from the worst grade) at last follow-up. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hemorrhage. For patients experiencing pulmonary or CNS hemorrhage, permanently discontinue TIVDAK. For grade ≥2 hemorrhage in any other location, withhold until bleeding has resolved, blood hemoglobin is stable, there is no bleeding diathesis that could increase the risk of continuing therapy, and there is no anatomical or pathologic condition that can increase the risk of hemorrhage recurrence. After resolution, either resume treatment or permanently discontinue TIVDAK [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] .
