Safety and tolerability of mirvetuximab soravtansine monotherapy for folate receptor alpha-expressing recurrent ovarian cancer: An integrated safety summary.

OBJECTIVE

Mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx (MIRV) is a novel antibody-drug conjugate targeting folate receptor alpha (FRα), which is overexpressed in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), with limited expression on normal tissues. This integrated safety summary sought to characterize the safety profile of MIRV monotherapy in participants with FRα-expressing recurrent EOC.

METHODS

Safety data were retrospectively analyzed from 4 clinical studies (phase 1 trial [NCT01609556], phase 3 FORWARD I [NCT02631876], phase 2 SORAYA [NCT04296890], phase 3 MIRASOL [NCT04209855]) that evaluated participants with FRα-expressing recurrent EOC who received ≥1 dose of MIRV 6 mg/kg adjusted ideal body weight every 3 weeks.

RESULTS

In this analysis of 682 participants, 94 % had platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC). Blurred vision (43 %), nausea (41 %), diarrhea (39 %), and fatigue (35 %) were the most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and were primarily grade 1-2 in severity. Grade ≥ 3 TEAEs occurred in 48 % of participants, with the most common being keratopathy and blurred vision (5 % each). Most TEAEs were managed with supportive care and dose modifications, and only 12 % of participants experienced a TEAE leading to discontinuation (1 % due to ocular events). No corneal ulcerations or perforations have been reported. Median time to onset of blurred vision and keratopathy was 5.9 and 6.7 weeks, respectively. Most blurred vision events and keratopathy events resolved completely (71 % and 66 %, respectively) or partially (15 % and 14 %, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS

As demonstrated among 682 participants, the safety profile of MIRV is well tolerated and consists primarily of low-grade gastrointestinal, fatigue, headache, peripheral neuropathy, and resolvable ocular adverse events.
