The FDA has granted regular approval to mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx (Elahere) for adult patients with FRα-positive, platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, who have previously received one to three systemic treatment regimens.1
The regulatory decision is supported by data from the phase 3 MIRASOL study (NCT04209855) in which the antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) improved median overall survival (OS) vs investigator's choice of chemotherapy, at 16.5 months (95% CI, 14.5-24.6) vs 12.7 months (95% CI, 10.9-14.4), respectively (HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.50-0.88; P = .0046).
About MIRASOL
Trial Name: A Study of Mirvetuximab Soravtansine vs. Investigator's Choice of Chemotherapy in Platinum-Resistant, Advanced High-Grade Epithelial Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancers With High Folate Receptor-Alpha Expression (MIRASOL)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04209855
Sponsor: ImmunoGen
Summary: This Phase 3 study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of mirvetuximab soravtansine vs. investigator's choice chemotherapy in patients with platinum-resistant high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer, whose tumors express a high-level of FRα. Patients will be, in the opinion of the Investigator, appropriate for single-agent therapy for their next line of therapy. Folate receptor alpha (FRα) positivity will be defined by the Ventana FOLR1 (FOLR1-2.1) CDx assay.

Mirvetuximab soravtansine also improved progression-free survival (PFS) vs chemotherapy, at a median of 5.6 months (95% CI, 4.3-5.9) vs 4.0 months (95% CI, 2.9-4.5), respectively (HR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.52-0.81; P < .0001). Moreover, the ADC elicited an objective response rate of 42% (95% CI, 36%-49%) vs 16% (95% CI, 12%-22%) with chemotherapy (P < .0001).
Regarding safety, the most common adverse effects experienced by at least 20% of those who received mirvetuximab soravtansine included increased aspartate aminotransferase, fatigue, increased alanine aminotransferase, blurred vision, nausea, increased alkaline phosphatase, diarrhea, abdominal pain, keratopathy, peripheral neuropathy, musculoskeletal pain, decreased lymphocytes, decreased platelets, decreased magnesium, decreased hemoglobin, dry eye, constipation, decreased leukocytes, vomiting, decreased albumin, decreased appetite, and decreased neutrophils.2
