“Tisotumab vedotin, a partnered compound, is one of two mid-stage clinical assets in Seattle Genetics pipeline. The timing of this study is as anticipated. The initiation of this Phase II study, innovaTV 204, along with the preliminary phase I/II data released in Q3 2017, is encouraging in the cervical cancer setting. Seattle Genetics now has four late-stage development programs planned or in registration studies, which we believe really strengthens the pipeline. Based on the stage of development of tisotumab vedotin, our financial outlook for Seattle Genetics’ revenue remains unchanged for 2018-22.”
