Abstract 3517

Background

Mirvetuximab soravtansine is an ADC comprised of a FRα-binding antibody linked to the tubulin-disrupting maytansinoid DM4. This agent activates monocytes and upregulates immunogenic cell death markers on ovarian tumor cells, providing a rationale for combining with immune checkpoint blockade. Mirvetuximab soravtansine is being evaluated in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with PROC.

Methods

Eligibility criteria include FRα positivity by IHC (≥ 25% of cells with ≥ 2+ staining intensity), 2-4 prior systemic treatments, and no prior immunotherapy. Mirvetuximab soravtansine (6 mg/kg; adjusted ideal body weight) and pembrolizumab (200 mg) were administered intravenously on day 1 of a 21-day cycle. Responses were assessed with RECIST 1.1 and adverse events (AEs) by CTCAE v4.03.

Results

During dose-escalation (n = 14 patients), the mirvetuximab soravtansine-pembrolizumab combination demonstrated favorable tolerability, with primarily ≤ grade 2 AEs observed. Overall, the AE profile was manageable and consistent with the known profiles of each agent. In addition, promising evidence of durable antitumor activity was observed, including a confirmed objective response rate of 43%, median duration of response of 6.9 months, and median progression-free survival of 5.2 months. These findings supported enrollment of an expansion cohort to further evaluate this combination in the setting of PROC. At time of analysis, 37/46 patients were enrolled, who received a median of 3 prior regimens. Median age was 62y (range 40-77), and 92% had tumors with high grade serous histology. Initial safety, antitumor activity, and exploratory biomarker data will be presented, including for the subset of patients with medium/high FRα expression, which showed the highest degree of clinical activity during escalation.

Conclusions

Preliminary data have demonstrated a manageable safety profile and encouraging signals of clinical activity for the mirvetuximab soravtansine-pembrolizumab combination in recurrent PROC. The results of this expansion cohort will guide further development of this novel combination.
