Telisotuzumab vedotin, sold under the brand name Emrelis, is an antibody drug conjugate used for the treatement of non-small cell lung cancer. [1] [2] Telisotuzumab vedotin is a c-Met-directed antibody and microtubule inhibitor conjugate. [1] It was developed by AbbVie. [3]

Contents

The most common adverse reactions include peripheral neuropathy, fatigue, decreased appetite, and peripheral edema. [2] The most common grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities include decreased lymphocytes, increased glucose, increased alanine aminotransferase, increased gamma glutamyl transferase, decreased phosphorus, decreased sodium, decreased hemoglobin, and decreased calcium. [2]

Telisotuzumab vedotin was approved for medical use in the United States in May 2025. [2] [4]

Medical uses

Telisotuzumab vedotin is indicated for the treatment of adults with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer with high c-Met protein overexpression who have received a prior systemic therapy. [1] [2] [4]

Adverse effects

The most common adverse reactions include peripheral neuropathy, fatigue, decreased appetite, and peripheral edema. [2] The most common grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities include decreased lymphocytes, increased glucose, increased alanine aminotransferase, increased gamma glutamyl transferase, decreased phosphorus, decreased sodium, decreased hemoglobin, and decreased calcium. [2]

History

Efficacy was evaluated in the LUMINOSITY study (NCT03539536), a multi-center, open label, multi-cohort trial. [2] The trial included 84 participants with epidermal growth factor receptor wild-type, non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer with high c-Met protein overexpression who had received prior systemic therapy. [2] The benefits and side effects of telisotuzumab vedotin were evaluated in one clinical trial of 168 participants with non-squamous, EGFR wild-type non-small cell lung cancer with high c-Met protein overexpression who had received one to three prior systemic treatments. [4] The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval to telisotuzumab vedotin based predominantly on evidence from one clinical trial (LUMINOSITY/NCT03539536) of 168 participants with non-squamous, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) wild-type non-small cell lung cancer with c Met protein overexpression who had received prior systemic therapy, including 19 participants from the United States. [4] The trial was conducted at 119 sites across 23 countries in North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Oceania. [4] There were 84 participants with non-squamous, EGFR wild-type non-small cell lung cancer with high c-Met protein overexpression who had received prior systemic therapy. [4]

The FDA granted the application for telisotuzumab vedotin priority review and breakthrough therapy designations. [2]

Society and culture

Telisotuzumab vedotin was approved for medical use in the United States in May 2025. [2] [3]
