<meta name="description" content="Tebentafusp is a recombinant bispecific fusion protein that binds both the gp100 peptide expressed in HLA-A*02:01 on melanoma cells and the CD3 T cell engager. It is used to treat metastatic or unresectable uveal melanoma. Tebentafusp is associated with frequent elevations in serum ALT, AST and bilirubin during therapy, usually in association with cytokine release syndrome that can lead to interruption or early discontinuation of therapy, but instances of clinically apparent liver injury with jaundice independent of cytokine release syndrome have not been reported.">

id="_Tebentafusp_OVERVIEW_">OVERVIEW</h2><div id="Tebentafusp.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Tebentafusp is a recombinant bispecific fusion protein that binds both the gp100 peptide expressed in HLA-A*02:01 on melanoma cells and the CD3 T cell engager. It is used to treat metastatic or unresectable uveal melanoma. Tebentafusp is associated with frequent elevations in serum ALT, AST and bilirubin during therapy, usually in association with cytokine release syndrome that can lead to interruption or early discontinuation of therapy, but instances of clinically apparent liver injury with jaundice independent of cytokine release syndrome have not been reported.</p></div><div id="Tebentafusp.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Tebentafusp (te ben&#x02019; ta fusp) is a recombinant bispecific fusion protein that binds both the gp100 peptide expressed in HLA-A*02:01 on melanoma cells and the CD3 T cell engager. HLA-A*02:01 is the most common HLA complex in humans found in 50% of persons with European American ancestry. Thus, tebentafusp activates cytotoxic CD3 T cells in the presence of melanoma expressed gp100 peptide causing an immune lysis of the melanoma cells. Tebentafusp was found to be effective in animal models of human uveal melanoma, a particularly resistant and rapidly fatal form of the malignancy. In a randomized controlled trial in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma, tebentafusp was associated with an improvement in one year survival compared to standard melanoma therapies (73% vs 59%). Tebentafusp was approved in the United States in 2022 as therapy of metastatic or unresectable uveal melanoma in adults with HLA-A*02:01. It remains under evaluation in other forms of advanced melanoma. Tebentafusp is available in solution for injection in single dose vials of 100 mcg in 0.5 mL (200 mcg/mL) under the brand name Kimmtrak. The recommended dose is once weekly intravenous infusions of 20 mcg on day 1, 30 mcg on day 8, and 68 mcg on day 15 and once weekly thereafter. Tebentafusp has a high rate of adverse events, most commonly a mild-to-moderate cytokine release syndrome caused by the generalized activation of CD3 T cells. Symptoms include fever, chills, fatigue, rash, pruritus, dry skin, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, headache, hypotension, edema, dyspnea. Laboratory abnormalities include lymphopenia and anemia, as well as increase in glucose, creatinine, serum ALT, AST and bilirubin levels. Potentially severe adverse events include severe cytokine release syndrome and embryo-fetal toxicity.</p></div><div id="Tebentafusp.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>In prelicensure controlled trials, serum ALT or AST elevations occurred in 65% of tebentafusp treated subjects arising in association with cytokine release syndrome that typically occurs during the first few months of therapy. Most of these elevations were mild-to-moderate in severity and resolved rapidly despite continuation of treatment. ALT elevations arose in 52% of tebentafusp treated patients and were above 5 times the ULN in 9%, compared to the comparator arm receiving standard therapy for melanoma in whom ALT elevations arose in 29% and were above 5 times ULN in 2%. Bilirubin elevations were also more frequent (27% vs 14% in comparator arms). ALT or AST elevations led to temporary interruption of therapy in 5% of patients but to permanent discontinuation in only 0.4%. Most liver enzyme and bilirubin elevations occurred in the context of cytokine release syndrome. In preregistration clinical trials and subsequently with its more widespread use, tebentafusp has not been linked to instances of clinically apparent liver injury independent of the cytokine release syndrome.</p><p>Likelihood score: E* (unproven but suspected rare cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Tebentafusp.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>Tebentafusp is a recombinant human protein and as such is unlikely to be intrinsically hepatotoxic. Because tebentafusp induces a strong CD3 T cell response to the tumor antigen, it causes release of proinflammatory cytokines that can induce transient liver injury, the recombinant fusion protein being a cause of transient &#x0201c;indirect&#x0201d; drug induced liver injury. Because melanoma is also frequently found in liver, the lysis of liver melanoma cells and local release of inflammatory cytokines may particularly induce evidence liver injury and dysfunction.</p></div><div id="Tebentafusp.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>Tebentafusp has been linked to mild-to-moderate serum enzyme elevations during therapy. Discontinuation for serum enzyme elevations is usually not necessary, but should be done if the elevations are persistently above 5 times ULN. There is no information on cross sensitivity to liver injury between tebentafusp and other growth factors or therapies for melanoma.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/AntineoplasticAgents/?report=reader">Antineoplastic Agents</a></p></div></div><div id="Tebentafusp.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Tebentafusp_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figTebentafuspTc"><a href="/books/NBK594406/table/Tebentafusp.Tc/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figTebentafuspTc" rid-ob="figobTebentafuspTc"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK594406/table/Tebentafusp.Tc/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK594406/table/Tebentafusp.Tc/?report=previmg" alt="Image " /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="Tebentafusp.Tc"><a href="/books/NBK594406/table/Tebentafusp.Tc/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobTebentafuspTc">Table</a></h4><p class="float-caption no_bottom_margin"><i>REPRESENTATIVE TRADE NAMES</i> Tebentafusp &#x02013; Kimmtrak&#x000ae;</p></div></div></div><div id="Tebentafusp.CHEMICAL_FORMULA_AND_STRUCTU"><h2 id="_Tebentafusp_CHEMICAL_FORMULA_AND_STRUCTU_">CHEMICAL FORMULA AND STRUCTURE</h2><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figTebentafuspTd"><a href="/books/NBK594406/table/Tebentafusp.Td/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figTebentafuspTd" rid-ob="figobTebentafuspTd"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK594406/table/Tebentafusp.Td/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK594406/table/Tebentafusp.Td/?report=previmg" alt="Image " /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="Tebentafusp.Td"><a href="/books/NBK594406/table/Tebentafusp.Td/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobTebentafuspTd">Table</a></h4></div></div></div><div id="Tebentafusp.ANNOTATED_BIBLIOGRAPHY"><h2 id="_Tebentafusp_ANNOTATED_BIBLIOGRAPHY_">ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY</h2><p>References updated: 30 July 2023</p><p>Abbreviations used: CRS, cytokine release syndrome; iv, intravenous; TCR, T cell receptor.</p><ul class="first-line-outdent"><li><div class="bk_ref" id="Tebentafusp.REF.fda">FDA. <a href="https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/nda/2022/761228Orig1s000MultidisciplineR.pdf" ref="pagearea=cite-ref&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">https://www<wbr style="display:inline-block"></wbr>&#8203;.accessdata<wbr style="display:inline-block"></wbr>&#8203;.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs<wbr style="display:inline-block"></wbr>&#8203;/nda/2022/761228Orig1s000MultidisciplineR.pdf</a><div><i>(FDA website including product label and multidiscipline review of data submitted in support of the approval of tebentafusp, mentions that ALT and AST elevations arose in two-thirds of treated patients, and qualified as being serious adverse events in 11 [4.4%], resulting in withholding therapy in 13 [15%] and permanent discontinuation in one patient [0.4%], but there were no liver related deaths).</i></div></div></li><li><div class="bk_ref" id="Tebentafusp.REF.middleton.2020.5869">Middleton
