Tisotumab vedotin, sold under the brand name Tivdak, is an antibody-drug conjugate used to treat cervical cancer.[1] It is a combination of tisotumab, a monoclonal antibody against tissue factor, and monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), a potent inhibitor of cell division. It is administered by infusion into a vein.[1]

Tisotumab vedotin was approved for medical use in the United States in September 2021.[1][3] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers it to be a first-in-class medication.[4]
