Abstract

Mirvetuximab soravtansine (mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx; Elahere™) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), which is comprised of a folate receptor α (FRα) directed antibody conjugated to a microtubule inhibitor via a cleavable linker. The ADC is being developed by ImmunoGen for the treatment of FRα expressing cancers. In November 2022, mirvetuximab soravtansine was approved in the USA 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 article summarizes the milestones in the development of mirvetuximab soravtansine leading to this first approval.
