Overview

Enfortumab vedotin is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting Nectin-4, a cell adhesion molecule highly expressed in urothelial cancers. The drug consists of a fully human monoclonal antibody directed against Nectin-4 linked to the microtubule-disrupting agent monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) via a protease-cleavable linker. Upon binding to Nectin-4 on tumor cells, the ADC is internalized and MMAE is released intracellularly, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Enfortumab vedotin was developed primarily for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (bladder cancer), especially in patients who have received prior PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and platinum-based chemotherapy or are ineligible for cisplatin-containing regimens[3][5]. It has demonstrated significant improvements in overall survival and progression-free survival both as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab[1][7].
