Abstract
Telisotuzumab vedotin (telisotuzumab vedotin-tllv; EMRELIS™), an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) directed against c-mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-MET) protein, is being developed by AbbVie for the treatment of solid tumours. On 14 May 2025, telisotuzumab vedotin received accelerated approval in the USA for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with high c-Met protein overexpression, as determined by an FDA-approved test, who have received a prior systemic therapy. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of telisotuzumab vedotin leading to this first approval for NSCLC.
期刊介绍:
Drugs is a journal that aims to enhance pharmacotherapy by publishing review and original research articles on key aspects of clinical pharmacology and therapeutics. The journal includes:
Leading/current opinion articles providing an overview of contentious or emerging issues.
Definitive reviews of drugs and drug classes, and their place in disease management.
Therapy in Practice articles including recommendations for specific clinical situations.
High-quality, well designed, original clinical research.
Adis Drug Evaluations reviewing the properties and place in therapy of both newer and established drugs.
AdisInsight Reports summarising development at first global approval.
Moreover, the journal offers additional digital features such as animated abstracts, video abstracts, instructional videos, and podcasts to increase visibility and educational value. Plain language summaries accompany articles to assist readers with some knowledge of the field in understanding important medical advances.
