Frequently asked questions about Telisotuzumab vedotin

What is telisotuzumab vedotin used for?

Telisotuzumab vedotin is an investigational antibody-drug conjugate being studied in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and advanced solid tumors. It is specifically directed at previously treated non-squamous NSCLC and c-Met positive NSCLC. It is not yet approved for any indication and remains in clinical development.

What does telisotuzumab vedotin target?

Telisotuzumab vedotin targets MET, a receptor tyrosine kinase that is often overexpressed in cancer cells. As an antibody-drug conjugate, it delivers a cytotoxic payload to MET-expressing tumor cells. By binding MET, the drug aims to inhibit tumor growth through targeted delivery of the chemotherapy agent.

Who is developing telisotuzumab vedotin?

Telisotuzumab vedotin is being developed by AbbVie Inc., which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ABBV. AbbVie is the sponsor of the clinical trials evaluating the drug in non-small cell lung cancer and advanced solid tumors.

What phase is telisotuzumab vedotin in?

Telisotuzumab vedotin is in Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 clinical development. The Phase 3 trial (NCT04928846) compares it to docetaxel in previously treated non-squamous NSCLC. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication.

What clinical trials is telisotuzumab vedotin in?

Telisotuzumab vedotin is being evaluated in several clinical trials, including NCT06568939 (Phase 2, recruiting), NCT04928846 (Phase 3, recruiting), NCT03539536 (Phase 2, active not recruiting), and NCT02099058 (Phase 1, active not recruiting). These trials enroll adults with non-small cell lung cancer or advanced solid tumors.

Is telisotuzumab vedotin the same as ABBV-399?

Yes, telisotuzumab vedotin is also known as ABBV-399. ABBV-399 is the internal code used by AbbVie for this antibody-drug conjugate. Both names refer to the same investigational compound targeting MET.
