What is the most important information I should know about PADCEV?

PADCEV may cause serious side effects, including:

Skin reactions. Skin reactions including severe skin reactions have happened in people treated with PADCEV and may be more common when PADCEV is given with pembrolizumab. In some cases, these severe skin reactions have caused death. Most severe skin reactions occurred during the first cycle of treatment but may happen later. Your healthcare provider will monitor you, may stop your treatment with PADCEV completely or for a period of time (temporarily), may change your dose, and may prescribe medicines if you get skin reactions. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop any of these signs of a new or worsening skin reaction:

•
Target lesions (skin reactions that look like rings)

•
Rash or itching that continues to get worse

•
Blistering or peeling of the skin

•
Painful sores or ulcers in mouth or nose, throat, or genital area

WHAT IS PADCEV⁠⁠®⁠⁠?

PADCEV is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with bladder cancer and cancers of the urinary tract (renal pelvis, ureter, or urethra).

•
PADCEV may be used with pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa-pmph before and after the surgical removal of your bladder when:

–your bladder cancer has spread into the muscle layer of the bladder (muscle invasive bladder cancer [MIBC]) but not to other parts of the body, and

–you are not able to receive chemotherapy that contains the medicine cisplatin.

•
PADCEV may be used with pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa-pmph when your bladder or urinary tract cancer has spread or cannot be removed by surgery (locally advanced or metastatic).

•
PADCEV may be used alone when your bladder or urinary tract cancer has spread or cannot be removed by surgery (locally advanced or metastatic) if you:

–have received PD-1 or PD‑L1 immunotherapy medicine and chemotherapy that contains platinum, or

–are not able to receive a chemotherapy that contains cisplatin and you have received 1 or more prior therapies.
