• Introduction: Mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx (IMGN853) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) formed by a monoclonal antibody (M9346A) that targets folate receptor alpha (FRα), covalently joined by a cleavable disulfide linker to the genotoxic compound DM4 (also known as soravtansine or ravtansine). DM4 is conjugated to the antibody with a drug-to-antibody ratio of 3.5:1. The antibody component of mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx binds to FRα, a receptor overexpressed on the surface of epithelial tumor cells, characteristic of ovarian, endometrial, triple-negative breast and non-small-cell lung cancers. After an ADC/receptor complex is formed, mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx is internalized, and DM4 is released inside the cell. DM4 leads to cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis and is also able to diffuse into neighboring cells and induce further cell death. On November 2022, the FDA granted accelerated approval to mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx for the treatment of adult patients with FRα–positive, platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who have received 1-3 prior systemic treatment regimens. This decision was supported by findings from the phase 3 SORAYA trial (NCT04296890). It was subsequently granted full approval in March 2024.

Pharmaceutical Information

• Pharmacodynamics: There is an exposure-response relationship for mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx. The increased exposure of mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx was associated with a higher incidence of ocular adverse reactions and peripheral neuropathy grade 2 or higher. Mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx did not cause large QTc increases (> 10 msec) at the approved recommended dose. The use of mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx has been associated with severe ocular adverse reactions, such as visual impairment, keratopathy, dry eye, photophobia, eye pain, and uveitis. Severe, life-threatening, or fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD), including pneumonitis, as well as peripheral neuropathy, may also occur in patients treated with mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx. Since mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx contains DM4, a genotoxic compound, the use of this drug may cause embryo-fetal harm in pregnant women.
