The findings stated recently are from an ongoing Phase 1 trial. Once the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of mirvetuximab soravtansine was established during dose finding (abstract #5558), an expansion cohort was opened to assess the safety and activity of this ADC specifically in the treatment of patients with FRα-positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. About 80% of the patients screened have met the criteria for having FRα-positive disease.
Twenty-two patients were comprised of in the analysis stated recently – two from the dose-escalation phase of the trial and the twenty enrolled in the expansion cohort at the time of data cutoff for presentation (4/30/15). All had FRα-positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and had received mirvetuximab soravtansine at the RP2D (6.0 mg/kg, given every three weeks). All had formerly received taxane in addition to platinum therapy. Thirteen were still on study at the time of data cutoff.
