#AS­CO21: Ahead of Au­gust PDU­FA date, Astel­las and Seagen sweet­en Pad­cev pitch with new da­ta

Astel­las and Seagen made waves back in 2019 when they nabbed con­di­tion­al ap­proval for their Nectin-4 tar­get­ing ther­a­py Pad­cev in urothe­lial can­cer. Now, as the FDA con­sid­ers a full ap­proval and la­bel ex­pan­sion, the com­pa­nies have some new da­ta to share ahead of their Au­gust PDU­FA date.

Pad­cev was ini­tial­ly OK’d in the lo­cal­ly ad­vanced or metasta­t­ic set­ting for pa­tients who al­ready re­ceived a PD-1 or PD-L1 in­hibitor and plat­inum chemother­a­py. The new analy­sis, how­ev­er, comes from a sec­ond co­hort of Phase II pa­tients who couldn’t take cis­platin chemo for med­ical rea­sons.
