⏳ Availability & biosimilar status
Biologics have no small-molecule generics; biosimilar competition is tracked in the FDA Purple Book.
Why the date isn’t exact: Biosimilar timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added or removed, and litigation can move the real date earlier or later.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Biologic patent
- A patent the reference product’s maker has publicly listed. A biosimilar generally can’t launch until these expire — unless they’re invalidated or resolved in a settlement.
- Reference-product exclusivity
- A flat 12 years of FDA market protection from the biologic’s first licensure (the BPCIA). No biosimilar can be licensed before it ends, regardless of patents.
- Interchangeable exclusivity
- The first interchangeable biosimilar can earn a period as the only interchangeable version (pharmacists can substitute it without the prescriber).
- Earliest biosimilar (LOE)
- The latest of all the dates above — the soonest a biosimilar can realistically reach the market. Litigation and settlements can move it earlier.
Biologics have no small-molecule “generics” — competition comes from FDA-licensed biosimilars, tracked in the FDA Purple Book.
| Code | What it grants | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| RefProduct | Reference-product exclusivity (12-year, BPCIA) — no biosimilar can be licensed before this date | Dec 18, 2031 |

5.1Skin 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 65% (all grades) of the 570 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 13% of patients (Grade 3: 12%, Grade 4: 1.1%), including maculo-papular rash, rash, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, dermatitis, exfoliative generalized dermatitis, toxic skin eruption, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, bullous dermatitis, erythema, macular rash, and pruritic rash. A fatal reaction of TEN occurred in one patient (0.2%).
The median time to onset of severe skin reactions was 0.6 months (range: 0.1 to 24 months). Skin reactions led to discontinuation of PADCEV in 8% of patients [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Of the patients who experienced a skin reaction and had data regarding resolution (n=367), 87% had complete resolution and 13% had residual skin reactions at their last evaluation.
Of the patients with residual skin reactions at last evaluation, 31% (15/49) 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 la/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 r…

👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: Advise women not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 )
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on the mechanism of action and findings in animals, PADCEV can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] . 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.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise lactating women not to breastfeed during treatment with PADCEV and for 3 weeks after the last dose.
8.3Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Pregnancy Testing Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating PADCEV treatment [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] . Contraception Females PADCEV can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] . Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with PADCEV and for 2 months after the last dose.
Males 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. Infertility Females Based on findings in animal studies with MMAE-containing antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), PADCEV may impair female fertility. The effect on fertility is reversible [see Nonclinical Toxicology ( 13.1 )] .
Males Based on findings from animal studies, PADCEV may impair male fertility [see Nonclinical Toxicology ( 13.1 )] .
8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of PADCEV in pediatric patients have not been established.
8.5Geriatric Use Of the 570 patients treated with PADCEV in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab for the treatment of MIBC, 45% (n=259) were 65-74 years and 22% (n=125) were 75 years or older. Of the 564 patients treated with PADCEV in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab for the treatment of la/mUC, 44% (n=247) were 65‑74 years and 26% (n=144) were 75 years or older.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Enfortumab vedotin-ejfv is an ADC. The antibody is a human IgG1 kappa directed against Nectin-4, an adhesion protein located on the surface of cells. The small molecule, MMAE, is a microtubule-disrupting agent, attached to the antibody via a protease-cleavable linker.
Nonclinical data suggest that the anticancer activity of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv is due to the binding of the ADC to Nectin-4-expressing cells, followed by internalization of the ADC-Nectin-4 complex, and the release of MMAE via proteolytic cleavage. Release of MMAE disrupts the microtubule network within the cell, subsequently inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. The combination of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv with a PD-1 blocking antibody resulted in up-regulation of immune function and increased anti-tumor activity in syngeneic mouse tumor models expressing Nectin-4.
12.2Pharmacodynamics In an exposure-response analysis for safety, higher enfortumab vedotin-ejfv exposure was associated with higher incidence of some adverse reactions (e.g., Grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy, Grade ≥3 hyperglycemia). The exposure‑response relationship for efficacy has not been fully characterized. Cardiac Electrophysiology At the recommended dose, PADCEV had no large QTc prolongation (>20 msec).
12.3Pharmacokinetics Enfortumab vedotin-ejfv (ADC) pharmacokinetics were characterized after single and multiple doses in patients with solid tumors. The pharmacokinetics of the ADC and unconjugated MMAE were consistent when assessed following PADCEV administration as a single agent and in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab after 1 treatment cycle. The exposure parameters of the ADC and unconjugated MMAE (the cytotoxic component of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv) are summarized in Table 19 below.
Peak ADC concentrations were observed near the end of intravenous infusion while peak unconjugated MMAE concentrations were observed approximately 2 days after PADCEV dosing. Minimal accumulation of the ADC and unconjugated MMAE was observed following repeat administration of PADCEV in patients. Steady-state concentrations of the ADC were reached after 1 treatment cycle for the ADC as a single agent and in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab.

Exposure Parameters of the ADC and Unconjugated MMAE after First Treatment Cycle of 1.25 mg/kg of PADCEV Dose of Days 1, 8, and 15 C max = maximum concentration, AUC 0-28d = area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to 28 days, C trough,0-28d = pre-dose concentration on day 28. Parameter ADC Mean (± SD) Unconjugated MMAE Mean (± SD) C max 28 (6.1) µg/mL 5.5 (3.0) ng/mL AUC 0-28d 110 (26) µg∙d/mL 85 (50) ng∙d/mL C trough,0-28d 0.31 (0.18) µg/mL 0.81 (0.88) ng/mL Distribution The estimated mean steady-state volume of distribution of the ADC was
12.8L following administration of PADCEV. In vitro , plasma protein binding of unconjugated MMAE ranged from 68% to 82%. Elimination The ADC and unconjugated MMAE exhibited multi-exponential declines with an elimination half-life of 3.6 days and 2.6 days, respectively. The mean clearance (CL) of the ADC and unconjugated MMAE was
0.11 L/h and
2.11L/h, respectively. Elimination of unconjugated MMAE appeared to be limited by its rate of release from the ADC. Metabolism Catabolism of the ADC has not been studied in humans; however, it is expected to undergo catabolism to small peptides, amino acids, unconjugated MMAE, and unconjugated MMAE-related catabolites.
The ADC releases MMAE via proteolytic cleavage, and unconjugated MMAE is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 in vitro . Excretion The excretion of the ADC is not fully characterized. Following a single-dose of another ADC that contains unconjugated MMAE, 17% of the total unconjugated MMAE administered was recovered in feces and 6% in urine over a 1-week period, primarily as unchanged form.
A similar excretion profile of unconjugated MMAE is expected after PADCEV administration. Specific Pop…
🧬 Mechanism of Action ▾
12.1Mechanism of Action Enfortumab vedotin-ejfv is an ADC. The antibody is a human IgG1 kappa directed against Nectin-4, an adhesion protein located on the surface of cells. The small molecule, MMAE, is a microtubule-disrupting agent, attached to the antibody via a protease-cleavable linker.
Nonclinical data suggest that the anticancer activity of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv is due to the binding of the ADC to Nectin-4-expressing cells, followed by internalization of the ADC-Nectin-4 complex, and the release of MMAE via proteolytic cleavage. Release of MMAE disrupts the microtubule network within the cell, subsequently inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. The combination of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv with a PD-1 blocking antibody resulted in up-regulation of immune function and increased anti-tumor activity in syngeneic mouse tumor models expressing Nectin-4.

📋 Description ▾
11 DESCRIPTION Enfortumab vedotin-ejfv is a Nectin-4 directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) comprised of a fully human anti-Nectin-4 IgG1 kappa monoclonal antibody (AGS-22C3) conjugated to the small molecule microtubule disrupting agent, monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) via a protease-cleavable maleimidocaproyl valine-citrulline (vc) linker (SGD-1006). Conjugation takes place on cysteine residues that comprise the interchain disulfide bonds of the antibody to yield a product with a drug-to-antibody ratio of approximately 3.8:1.
The molecular weight is approximately 152 kDa. Figure 1. Structural Formula Approximately 4 molecules of MMAE are attached to each antibody molecule.
Enfortumab vedotin-ejfv is produced by chemical conjugation of the antibody and small molecule components. The antibody is produced by mammalian (Chinese hamster ovary) cells and the small molecule components are produced by chemical synthesis. PADCEV (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv) for injection is provided as a sterile, preservative-free, white to off-white lyophilized powder in single-dose vials for intravenous use.
PADCEV is supplied as a 20 mg per vial and a 30 mg per vial and requires reconstitution with Sterile Water for Injection, USP, (2.3 mL and 3.3 mL, respectively) resulting in a clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow solution with a final concentration of 10 mg/mL [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )]. After reconstitution, each vial allows the withdrawal of 2 mL (20 mg) and 3 mL (30 mg). Each mL of reconstituted solution contains 10 mg of enfortumab vedotin-ejfv, histidine (1.4 mg), histidine hydrochloride monohydrate (2.31 mg), polysorbate 20 (0.2 mg), and trehalose dihydrate (55 mg) with a pH of 6.0.
