Tivozanib Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding

Summary of Use during Lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of tivozanib during breastfeeding. Because tivozanib is >99% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, because of its potential toxicity in the breastfed infant and its half-life of 111 hours, the manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during tivozanib therapy and for 1 month after the last dose.
