Tisotumab Vedotin in Second- & Third-Line Recurrent Cervical Cancer with Dr. Ignace Vergote
Manage episode 444111610 series 3480180
In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Dr. Ignace Vergote to discuss Tisotumab Vedotin in Second- & Third-Line Recurrent Cervical Cancer. Prof. Vergote was Chairman of the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics at the Catholic University Leuven from 2003-2020. He published more than 1050 papers on gynecologic cancer in peer-reviewed journals, and his work was cited more than 90,000 times. He served as President of IGCS, ESGO, EORTC-GCG and ENGOT.
Highlights:
- Patients with recurrent cervical cancer with progression after platinum/paclitaxel, combined if possible with bevacizumab and anti-PD-(L)1 therapy, have a dismal prognosis
- The antibody-drug -conjugate tisotumab vedotin showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival, demonstrating a 30% reduction in the risk of death compared with standard of care chemotherapy
- Consistent benefit in progression-free survival and confirmed response were also observed and supportive of the observed overall survival benefit with tisotumab vedotin
- The safety profile of tisotumab vedotin was manageable and tolerable, and consistent with previous experience
- Based on these data, tisotumab vedotin should be considered a potential new standard of care for patients with recurrent cervical cancer who have progressed after first-line systemic therapy
