( 5.7 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Skin Reactions Severe cutaneous adverse reactions, including fatal cases of SJS or TEN occurred in patients treated with PADCEV. SJS and TEN occurred predominantly during the first cycle of treatment but may occur later. Skin reactions occurred in 61% (all grades) of the 167 patients treated with PADCEV in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab for the treatment of MIBC in clinical trials. The majority of the skin reactions that occurred with combination therapy included rash and maculo-papular rash. Grade 3-4 skin reactions occurred in 10% of patients (Grade 3: 9%, Grade 4: 1.2%), including rash, maculo-papular rash, toxic skin eruption, dermatitis exfoliative generalized, erythema, exfoliative rash, skin toxicity, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and toxic erythema of chemotherapy. A fatal reaction of toxic epidermal necrolysis occurred in one patient (0.6%). The median time to onset of severe skin reactions was 0.6 months (range: 0.2 to 8.8 months). Skin reactions led to discontinuation of PADCEV in 10% of patients [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Of the patients who experienced a skin reaction and had data regarding resolution (n=102), 83% had complete resolution and 17% had residual skin reactions at their last evaluation. Of the patients with residual skin reactions at last evaluation, 29% (5/17) had Grade ≥2 skin reactions. Skin reactions occurred in 70% (all grades) of the 564 patients treated with PADCEV in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab for the treatment of locally advanced or mUC in clinical trials. When PADCEV was given in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab, the incidence of skin reactions, including severe events, occurred at a higher rate compared to PADCEV as a single agent. The majority of the skin reactions that occurred with combination therapy included maculo-papular rash, macular rash, and papular rash. Grade 3-4 skin reactions occurred in 17% of patients (Grade 3: 16%, Grade 4: 1%), including maculo-papular rash, bullous dermatitis, dermatitis, exfoliative dermatitis, pemphigoid, rash, erythematous rash, macular rash, and papular rash. A fatal reaction of bullous dermatitis occurred in one patient (0.2%). The median time to onset of severe skin reactions was 1.7 months (range: 0.1 to 17.2 months). Skin reactions led to discontinuation of PADCEV in 6% of patients [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Of the patients who experienced a skin reaction and had data regarding resolution (n=391), 59% had complete resolution and 41% had residual skin reactions at their last evaluation. Of the patients with residual skin reactions at last evaluation, 27% (43/159) had Grade ≥2 skin reactions. Skin reactions occurred in 58% (all grades) of the 720 patients treated with PADCEV as a single agent in clinical trials. Twenty-three percent (23%) of patients had maculo-papular rash and 34% had pruritus. Grade 3-4 skin reactions occurred in 14% of patients, including maculo-papular rash, erythematous rash, rash or drug eruption, symmetrical drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema (SDRIFE), bullous dermatitis, exfoliative dermatitis, and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia. The median time to onset of severe skin reactions was 0.6 months (range: 0.1 to 8 months). Among patients experiencing a skin reaction leading to dose interruption who then restarted PADCEV (n=75), 24% of patients restarting at the same dose and 24% of patients restarting at a reduced dose experienced recurrent severe skin reactions. Skin reactions led to discontinuation of PADCEV in 3.1% of patients [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Of the patients who experienced a skin reaction and had data regarding resolution (n=328), 58% had complete resolution and 42% had residual skin reactions at their last evaluation. Of the patients with residual skin reactions at last evaluation, 39% (53/137) had Grade ≥2 skin reactions. Monitor patients closely throughout treatment for skin reactions. Consider topical corticosteroids and antihistamines, as clinically indicated. For persistent or recurrent Grade 2 skin reactions, consider withholding PADCEV until Grade ≤1. Withhold PADCEV and refer for specialized care for suspected SJS, TEN or for Grade 3 skin reactions. Permanently discontinue PADCEV in patients with confirmed SJS or TEN; or Grade 4 or recurrent Grade 3 skin reactions [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 )] . 5.2 Hyperglycemia Hyperglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), including fatal events, occurred in patients with and without pre‑existing diabetes mellitus, treated with PADCEV. Patients with baseline hemoglobin A1C ≥8% were excluded from clinical trials. In clinical trials of PADCEV as a single agent, 17% of the 720 patients treated with PADCEV developed hyperglycemia of any grade; 7% of patients developed Grade 3-4 hyperglycemia (Grade 3: 6.5%, Grade 4: 0.6%). Fatal events of hyperglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis occurred in one patient each (0.1%). The incidence of Grade 3-4 hyperglycemia increased consistently in patients with higher body mass index and in patients with higher baseline A1C. The median time to onset of hyperglycemia was 0.5 months (range: 0 to 20 months). Hyperglycemia led to discontinuation of PADCEV in 0.7% of patients [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Five percent (5%) of patients required initiation of insulin therapy for treatment of hyperglycemia. Of the patients who initiated insulin therapy for treatment of hyperglycemia, 66% (23/35) discontinued insulin by the time of last evaluation. Closely monitor blood glucose levels in patients with, or at risk for, diabetes mellitus or hyperglycemia. If blood glucose is elevated (>250 mg/dL), withhold PADCEV [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 )] . 5.3 Pneumonitis/Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Severe, life-threatening or fatal pneumonitis/ILD occurred in patients treated with PADCEV. When PADCEV was given in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab for the treatment of MIBC, 4.2% of the 167 patients treated with combination therapy had pneumonitis/ILD of any grade. All events were Grade 1-2. The median time to onset of any grade pneumonitis/ILD was 2.5 months (range: 1.9 to 9.7 months). When PADCEV was given in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab for the treatment of locally advanced or mUC, 10% of the 564 patients treated with combination therapy had pneumonitis/ILD of any grade and 4% had Grade 3-4. A fatal event of pneumonitis/ILD occurred in two patients (0.4%). The incidence of pneumonitis/ILD, including severe events, occurred at a higher rate when PADCEV was given in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab compared to PADCEV as a single agent. The median time to onset of any grade pneumonitis/ILD was 4 months (range: 0.3 to 26 months). In clinical trials of PADCEV as a single agent, 3% of the 720 patients treated with PADCEV had pneumonitis/ILD of any grade and 0.8% had Grade 3-4. The median time to onset of any grade pneumonitis/ILD was 2.9 months (range: 0.6 to 6 months). Monitor patients for signs and symptoms indicative of pneumonitis/ILD such as hypoxia, cough, dyspnea or interstitial infiltrates on radiologic exams. Evaluate and exclude infectious, neoplastic and other causes for such signs and symptoms through appropriate investigations. Withhold PADCEV for patients who develop Grade 2 pneumonitis/ILD and consider dose reduction. Permanently discontinue PADCEV in all patients with Grade 3 or 4 pneumonitis/ILD [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 )] . 5.4 Peripheral Neuropathy When PADCEV was given in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab for the treatment of MIBC, 39% of the 167 patients treated with combination therapy had peripheral neuropathy of any grade, 12% had Grade 2 neuropathy, and 3% had Grade 3 neuropathy. The median time to onset of Grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy was 4.7 months (range: 0.2 to 11 months) [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Of the patients who experienced neuropathy and had data regarding resolution (n=65), 32% had complete resolution, and 68% of patients had residual neuropathy at last evaluation. Of the patients with residual neuropathy at last evaluation, 27% (12/44) had Grade ≥2 neuropathy. When PADCEV was given in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab for the treatment of locally advanced or mUC, 67% of the 564 patients treated with combination therapy had peripheral neuropathy of any grade, 36% had Grade 2 neuropathy, and 7% had Grade 3 neuropathy. The incidence of peripheral neuropathy occurred at a higher rate when PADCEV was given in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab compared to PADCEV as a single agent. The median time to onset of Grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy was 6 months (range: 0.3 to 25 months) [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Of the patients who experienced neuropathy and had data regarding resolution (n=373), 13% had complete resolution, and 87% of patients had residual neuropathy at last evaluation. Of the patients with residual neuropathy at last evaluation, 45% (146/326) had Grade ≥2 neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy occurred in 53% of the 720 patients treated with PADCEV as a single agent in clinical trials including 38% with sensory neuropathy, 8% with muscular weakness, and 7% with motor neuropathy. Thirty percent of patients experienced Grade 2 reactions and 5% experienced Grade 3-4 reactions. Peripheral neuropathy occurred in patients treated with PADCEV with or without preexisting peripheral neuropathy. The median time to onset of Grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy was 4.9 months (range: 0.1 to 20 months). Neuropathy led to treatment discontinuation in 6% of patients [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Of the patients who experienced neuropathy who had data regarding resolution (n=296), 11% had complete resolution, and 89% had residual neuropathy at the time of their last evaluation. Of the patients with residual neuropathy at last evaluation, 50% (132/262) had Grade ≥2 neuropathy. Monitor patients for symptoms of new or worsening peripheral neuropathy and consider dose interruption or dose reduction of PADCEV when peripheral neuropathy occurs. Permanently discontinue PADCEV in patients who develop Grade > 3 peripheral neuropathy [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 )] . 5.5 Ocular Disorders Ocular disorders were reported in 40% of the 384 patients treated with PADCEV as a single agent in clinical trials in which ophthalmologic exams were scheduled. The majority of these events involved the cornea and included events associated with dry eye such as keratitis, blurred vision, increased lacrimation, conjunctivitis, limbal stem cell deficiency, and keratopathy. Dry eye symptoms occurred in 30% of patients, and blurred vision occurred in 10% of patients, during treatment with PADCEV. The median time to onset to symptomatic ocular disorder was 1.7 months (range: 0 to 30.6 months). Monitor patients for ocular disorders. Consider artificial tears for prophylaxis of dry eyes and ophthalmologic evaluation if ocular symptoms occur or do not resolve. Consider treatment with ophthalmic topical steroids, if indicated after an ophthalmic exam. Consider dose interruption or dose reduction of PADCEV for symptomatic ocular disorders. 5.6 Infusion Site Extravasation Skin and soft tissue reactions secondary to extravasation have been observed after administration of PADCEV. Of the 720 patients treated with PADCEV as a single agent in clinical trials, 1% of patients experienced skin and soft tissue reactions, including 0.3% who experienced Grade 3-4 reactions. Reactions may be delayed. Erythema, swelling, increased temperature, and pain worsened until 2-7 days after extravasation and resolved within 1-4 weeks of peak. Two patients (0.3%) developed extravasation reactions with secondary cellulitis, bullae, or exfoliation. Ensure adequate venous access prior to starting PADCEV and monitor for possible extravasation during administration. If extravasation occurs, stop the infusion and monitor for adverse reactions. 5.7 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on the mechanism of action and findings in animals, PADCEV can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, administration of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused maternal toxicity, embryo-fetal lethality, structural malformations and skeletal anomalies at maternal exposures similar to the clinical exposures at the recommended human dose of 1.25 mg/kg. Advise patients of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with PADCEV and for 2 months after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with PADCEV and for 4 months after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 , 8.3 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] .
Drug Interactions with Padcev
Effects of Other Drugs on
PADCEV Dual P-gp and Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors Concomitant use with dual P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase unconjugated MMAE exposure , which may increase the incidence or severity of PADCEV toxicities. Closely monitor patients for signs of toxicity when PADCEV is given concomitantly with dual P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors.
Pregnancy Safety for Padcev
Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on the mechanism of action and findings in animals, PADCEV can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman . There are no available human data on PADCEV use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. In an animal reproduction study, administration of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv to pregnant rats during organogenesis caused maternal toxicity, embryo-fetal lethality, structural malformations, and skeletal anomalies at maternal exposures similar to the exposures at the recommended human dose of 1.25 mg/kg (see Data ). Advise patients of the potential risk to the fetus. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown.
In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2%-4% and 15%-20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In a rat pilot embryo-fetal development study, administration of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv on gestation day 6 and 13 during the period of organogenesis resulted in a complete litter loss in all pregnant rats at the maternally toxic dose of 5 mg/kg (approximately 3 times the exposure at the recommended human dose). A dose of 2 mg/kg (similar to the exposure at the recommended human dose) resulted in maternal toxicity, embryo-fetal lethality, and structural malformations that included gastroschisis, malrotated hindlimb, absent forepaw, malpositioned internal organs, and fused cervical arch. Additionally, skeletal anomalies (asymmetric, fused, incompletely ossified, and misshapen sternebrae, misshapen cervical arch, and unilateral ossification of the thoracic centra) and decreased fetal weight were observed.

Clinical Studies of Padcev
- 14.1 Urothelial Cancer Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Treatment of Cisplatin-Ineligible Patients with MIBC EV-303 The efficacy of PADCEV in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab as neoadjuvant treatment and then continued after RC as adjuvant treatment was evaluated in EV-303 (NCT03924895), an open-label, randomized, multicenter trial that enrolled patients with previously untreated MIBC with predominant urothelial carcinoma histology and who were candidates for radical cystectomy (RC) with pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) but were ineligible for or refused cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The study excluded patients with primary non-bladder (i.e., ureter, urethral, or renal pelvis) cancer of the urothelium and those with active autoimmune disease that required systemic therapy within 2 years of treatment or a medical condition that required immunosuppression. Randomization was stratified by tumor stage (T2N0 vs T3/T4aN0 vs T1-T4aN1), cisplatin-eligibility (cisplatin-ineligible vs cisplatin-eligible but declined), and geographic region (United States vs European Union vs Rest of World). Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive:
- Neoadjuvant PADCEV 1.25 mg/kg as an intravenous infusion on Days 1 and 8 in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab 200 mg as an intravenous infusion on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle for 3 cycles prior to surgery, followed by adjuvant PADCEV for up to 6 cycles and intravenous pembrolizumab for up to 14 cycles (21 days per cycle) (n=170).
- Immediate RC and PLND alone (n=174). Treatment continued until completion of the treatment, disease progression, not undergoing or refusal of RC and PLND, disease recurrence in the adjuvant phase, or unacceptable toxicity. Assessment of tumor status, including CT/MRI, was performed at baseline, within 5 weeks prior to RC and PLND, and at 6 weeks post-surgery. Following RC and PLND, assessment of tumor status, including cystoscopy and urine cytology for patients who did not undergo surgery, was performed every 12 weeks up to 2 years, and every 24 weeks thereafter. The median age was 73 years (range: 46 to 87 years); 78% were male; 78% were White, 16% were Asian, 3.2% were multiple, 1.2% were Black or African American, 0.3% American Indian or Alaska Native, and race in 1.2% was missing; 91% were not Hispanic or Latino, 6% were Hispanic or Latino, and 2.9% were not reported. Patients had a baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 (57%), 1 (29%), or 2 (14%). Eighteen percent were T2N0, 77% T3/T4aN0, and 4.9% T1-T4aN1. Among the 281 patients who were ineligible for cisplatin, 72% had baseline creatinine clearance of 30-59 mL/min, 17% had ECOG PS of 2, 21% had Grade 2 or greater hearing loss, 3.9% had NYHA Class III heart failure, and 13% met more than one cisplatin-ineligibility criterion. Ninety-one percent of patients had pure urothelial carcinoma histology; 4.4% had urothelial carcinoma with squamous differentiation, 2.6% had urothelial carcinoma with glandular differentiation, and 2% had urothelial carcinoma with other variant histology. In the overall population, 149 (88%) patients in the PADCEV in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab arm and 156 (90%) patients in the RC and PLND alone arm underwent RC and PLND. The trial was not designed to isolate the effect of PADCEV in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab in each phase (neoadjuvant or adjuvant) of treatment. The major efficacy outcome measure was event-free survival (EFS) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR). Overall survival (OS) and pathological complete response (pCR) rate as assessed by blinded independent pathology review were additional efficacy outcome measures. The trial demonstrated statistically significant improvements in EFS and OS in patients treated with neoadjuvant and adjuvant PADCEV in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab compared with RC and PLND alone. Table 18 and Figures 2-3 summarize the efficacy results for EV-303. Table 18.

Previously Untreated Locally Advanced or mUC EV-302 The efficacy of PADCEV in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab was evaluated in EV-302 (NCT04223856), an open label, randomized, multicenter trial that enrolled 886 patients with locally advanced or mUC who received no prior systemic therapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease. Patients with active CNS metastases, ongoing sensory or motor neuropathy Grade ≥2, or uncontrolled diabetes defined as hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) ≥8% or HbA1c ≥7% with associated diabetes symptoms were excluded. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either:
- PADCEV 1.25 mg/kg on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle followed by intravenous pembrolizumab 200 mg on Day 1 of a 21‑day cycle. Treatment was continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. In the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, pembrolizumab was continued for up to 2 years.
- Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m 2 on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle with cisplatin 70 mg/m 2 or carboplatin (AUC = 4.5 or 5) on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle. Treatment was continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity for up to 6 cycles. Randomization was stratified by cisplatin eligibility, PD-L1 expression, and presence of liver metastases. The median age was 69 years (range: 22 to 91 years); 77% were male; 67% were White, 22% were Asian, 1% were Black or African American, and 10% were unknown or other; 12% were Hispanic or Latino. Patients had a baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 (49%), 1 (47%), or 2 (3%). Forty-seven percent of patients had a documented baseline HbA1c of <5.7%. At baseline, 95% of patients had metastatic urothelial cancer, including 72% with visceral and 22% with liver metastases, and 5% had locally advanced urothelial cancer. Eighty-five percent of patients had urothelial carcinoma (UC) histology including 6% with UC mixed squamous differentiation and 2% with UC mixed other histologic variants. Forty-six percent of patients were considered cisplatin-ineligible and 54% were considered cisplatin-eligible at time of randomization. The major efficacy outcome measures were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. Additional efficacy outcome measures included objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by BICR. The trial demonstrated statistically significant improvements in OS, PFS, and ORR for patients randomized to PADCEV in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab as compared to platinum-based chemotherapy. Efficacy results were consistent across all stratified patient subgroups. Table 19 and Figures 4-5 summarize the efficacy results for EV-302. Table 19.

Kaplan-Meier Plot of Progression-Free Survival, EV-302 Cisplatin-Ineligible Patients with Previously Untreated Locally Advanced or mUC EV-103 The efficacy of PADCEV in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab was evaluated in EV-103 (NCT03288545), an open-label, multi-cohort (dose escalation cohort, Cohort A, Cohort K) trial in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer who were ineligible for cisplatin-containing chemotherapy and received no prior systemic therapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease. Patients with active CNS metastases, ongoing sensory or motor neuropathy Grade ≥2, or uncontrolled diabetes defined as hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) ≥8% or HbA1c ≥7% with associated diabetes symptoms were excluded from participating in the trial. Patients in the dose escalation cohort (n=5), Cohort A (n=40), and Cohort K (n=76) received PADCEV 1.25 mg/kg as an IV infusion on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle followed by intravenous pembrolizumab 200 mg on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle. Patients were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. A total of 121 patients received PADCEV in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab. The median age was 71 years (range: 51 to 91 years); 74% were male; 85% were White, 5% were Black, 4% were Asian, and 6% were other, unknown, or not reported. Ten percent of patients were Hispanic or Latino. Forty-five percent of patients had an ECOG performance status of 1 and 15% had an ECOG performance status of 2. Forty-seven percent of patients had a documented baseline HbA1c of <5.7%. Reasons for cisplatin ineligibility included: 60% with baseline creatinine clearance of 30-59 mL/min, 10% with ECOG PS of 2, 13% with Grade 2 or greater hearing loss, and 16% with more than one cisplatin-ineligibility criteria. At baseline, 97.5% of patients had metastatic urothelial cancer and 2.5% of patients had locally advanced urothelial cancer. Thirty-seven percent of patients had upper tract disease. Eighty-four percent of patients had visceral metastasis at baseline including 22% with liver metastases. Thirty-nine percent of patients had transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) histology; 13% had TCC with squamous differentiation and 48% had TCC with other histologic variants. The major efficacy outcome measures were ORR and DoR as assessed by BICR according to RECIST v1.1. The median follow-up time for the dose escalation cohort + Cohort A was 44.7 months (range: 0.7 to 52.4 months) and for Cohort K was 14.8 months (range: 0.6 to 26.2 months). Efficacy results are presented in Table 20 below. Table 20. Efficacy Results in EV-103, Combined Dose Escalation Cohort, Cohort A, and Cohort K Endpoint PADCEV in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab n=121 Confirmed ORR (95% CI) 68% (58.7, 76.0) Complete response rate 12% Partial response rate 55% The median duration of response for the dose escalation cohort + Cohort A was 22.1 months (range: 1.0+ to 46.3+ months) and for Cohort K was not reached (range: 1.2 to 24.1+ months). Previously Treated Locally Advanced or mUC EV-301 The efficacy of PADCEV as a single agent was evaluated in EV-301 (NCT03474107), an open-label, randomized, multicenter trial that enrolled 608 patients with locally advanced or mUC who received prior treatment with a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor and platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either PADCEV 1.25 mg/kg on Days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle or investigator’s choice of chemotherapy. Randomization was stratified by ECOG PS (0 vs 1), region of world (Western Europe vs US vs Rest of World), and presence of liver metastasis. Patients were excluded if they had active central nervous system (CNS) metastases, ongoing sensory or motor neuropathy ≥ Grade 2, or uncontrolled diabetes defined as hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) ≥8% or HbA1c ≥7% with associated diabetes symptoms. The median age was 68 years (range: 30 to 88 years) and 77% were male. Racial demographics were reported as White (52%), Asian (33%), Black (0.7%), Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (0.2%), or not reported (15%). Nine percent of patients were Hispanic or Latino. All patients had a baseline ECOG performance status of 0 (40%) or 1 (60%). Thirty‑four percent of patients had tumors located in the upper tract that included the renal pelvis and ureter. Eighty percent of patients had visceral metastases including 31% with liver metastases. Seventy-six percent of patients had pure TCC histology; 14% had TCC with other histologic variants; and 10% had other tumor histologies including adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The median number of prior therapies was 2 (range 1 to ≥3). Sixty-three percent of patients received prior cisplatin-based regimens, 26% received prior carboplatin-based regimens, and an additional 11% received both cisplatin and carboplatin-based regimens. Patients on the control arm received docetaxel (38%), paclitaxel (36%), or vinflunine (25%). The major efficacy outcome measures were OS, PFS, and ORR assessed by investigator using RECIST v1.1. Efficacy results were consistent across all stratified patient subgroups. Table 21 and Figures 6-7 summarize the efficacy results for EV-301. Table 21.

Kaplan-Meier Plot of Progression-Free Survival, EV-301 EV-201, Cohort 1 The efficacy of PADCEV as a single agent was also investigated in Cohort 1 of EV-201 (NCT03219333), a single-arm, multi-cohort, multicenter trial that enrolled 125 patients with locally advanced or mUC who received prior treatment with a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor and a platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients were excluded if they had active central nervous system (CNS) metastases, ongoing sensory or motor neuropathy ≥ Grade 2, heart failure, or uncontrolled diabetes defined as hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) ≥8% or HbA1c ≥7% with associated diabetes symptoms. PADCEV was administered at a dose of 1.25 mg/kg, as an intravenous (IV) infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. The median age was 69 years (range: 40 to 84 years) and 70% were male. Racial demographics were reported as White (85%), Asian (9%), Black (2%), Other (0.8%), or not reported (4%). Four percent of patients were Hispanic or Latino. All patients had a baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 (32%) or 1 (68%). Ninety percent of patients had visceral metastases including 40% with liver metastases. Approximately two-thirds (67%) of patients had pure transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) histology; 33% had TCC with other histologic variants. The median number of prior systemic therapies was 3 (range: 1 to 6). Sixty-six percent of patients received prior cisplatin-based regimens, 26% received prior carboplatin-based regimens, and an additional 8% received both cisplatin and carboplatin‑based regimens. The major efficacy outcome measures were confirmed objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) assessed by BICR using RECIST v1.1. Efficacy results are presented in Table 22 .
