Treatment with Mirvetuximab-Soravtansin—first clinical experience in advanced ovarian cancer in a comprehensive cancer center
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Introduction: Mirvetuximab-Soravtansin (MIRV) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) for the therapy of advanced platinum-resistant folate receptor α (FRα)-expressing ovarian cancer. The goal of the study was to treat patients with MIRV off-label in our Comprehensive Cancer Center regarding the outcome and adverse events. Methods: This retrospective single-center cohort study included six patients with advanced high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) or high-grade serous primary peritoneal carcinoma (PPC) with initial FIGO stage IIC-IV between July 2023 and August 2024. Inclusion criteria were metastatic advanced HGSOC or PPC, expression of FRα ≥75% (IHC PS2+), and progression during systemic therapy with ≥3 therapies before. All patients underwent ophthalmological examination before therapy with MIRV. Results: , 5) from baseline. In the CT scan, two patients showed radiographically stable disease, and one of our patients represented progressive disease. Two patients revealed a partial response, and one of them had partial remission at the initial FIGO stage IV. Adverse events were monitored; one patient developed transient ocular toxicity. Discussion: Treatment with MIRV has been shown to be promising in advanced ovarian cancer. In a small heterogeneous group of heavily pretreated patients, general recommendations for therapy with MIRV are limited. Close collaboration with ophthalmology and patient education is essential to mitigate ocular events.
