July 9, 2021 -- Astellas Pharma Inc. and Seagen Inc. today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted PADCEV? (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv) regular approval in the U.S., in addition to approving a new indication for adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer who are ineligible for cisplatin-containing chemotherapy and have previously received one or more prior lines of therapy.

In 2019, the FDA granted accelerated approval for PADCEV for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer who have previously received a PD-1/L1 inhibitor and a platinum-containing chemotherapy before (neoadjuvant) or after (adjuvant) surgery, or in a locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer setting. The conversion from accelerated approval to regular approval and the label expansion were based on two supplemental Biologics License Applications (sBLAs) reviewed under the Real-Time Oncology Review (RTOR) pilot program.

"PADCEV is the first and only FDA-approved therapy for patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer who have received immunotherapy and cannot receive cisplatin," said Roger Dansey, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Seagen. "Because of the FDA's Real-Time Oncology Review, we're able to make PADCEV available as early as possible to these patients, who have limited treatment options due to their age or comorbid conditions."
