Cyclin E1 overexpression identifies a therapeutically relevant poor prognostic patient subgroup in high-grade serous ovarian cancer. (PubMed, NPJ Precis Oncol)
Platinum-based chemotherapy increased Cyclin-E1 expression. These patients were less likely to benefit from PARP inhibitors (75% are BRCA-wildtype) or mirvetuximab-soravtansine (67% were not FRα-high), highlighting a distinct patient population in need of novel therapies.

Incidence and clinical features of cataracts: an under-recognized adverse event with mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx in ovarian cancer. (PubMed, Int J Gynecol Cancer)
Cataracts represent an under-recognized ocular adverse event associated with mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx treatment. Although the etiology remains unclear, potentially related to mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx exposure, ocular corticosteroids, or both, the frequency and tempo observed in this cohort underscore the need for close ophthalmologic monitoring. However, it is reassuring that cataracts can be treated with a minimally invasive procedure with generally excellent outcomes. Further research is warranted to elucidate underlying mechanisms and optimize supportive eye care strategies.

Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Mirvetuximab Soravtansine in Chinese Patients With Folate Receptor α-Positive Advanced Ovarian Cancer. (PubMed, Cancer Med)
MIRV showed anticipated pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability, and efficacy profiles in Chinese patients with FRα-positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancers, supporting its potential as a targeted therapeutic agent for this patient population.

Health economic evaluation of Mirvetuximab soravtansine for the treatment of FRα-positive, platinum resistant ovarian cancer in Germany. (PubMed, J Cancer Res Clin Oncol)
MIRV is highly likely to be a more effective treatment option than the chemotherapies currently available for patients with FRα-positive, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, as approximately 75-90% of ovarian cancers are FRα-positive. However, in the current circumstances, MIRV is unlikely to be considered cost-effective within the German healthcare context without reduction in the drug price.

Intracranial activity of mirvetuximab soravtansine in platinum-resistant high-grade serous ovarian cancer: Insights from a patient with central nervous system metastasis. (PubMed, Gynecol Oncol Rep)
To our knowledge, no published studies or case reports have yet documented central nervous system activity of mirvetuximab soravtansine in ovarian cancer. This case highlights a potential new therapeutic role for this agent in patients with ovarian cancer and central nervous system involvement and underscores the need for prospective clinical trials to rigorously assess its central nervous system penetration and efficacy in larger patient cohorts.

HER2 and FOLR1 Expression in Mesonephric and Mesonephric-Like Adenocarcinomas in the Gynecologic Tract. (PubMed, Int J Gynecol Pathol)
Mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV), which targets folate receptor-1 (FOLR1), is FDA-approved for platinum-resistant tubo-ovarian cancers with ≥75% moderate/strong staining, and emerging studies show meaningful responses to MIRV combination therapy even at lower FOLR1 expression. FOLR1 met current MIRV treatment criteria in one case, while ten others showed expression ranging from 5% to 70%. Although most tumors did not meet current biomarker thresholds for Trastuzumab or MIRV monotherapy, detectable expression supports exploring anti-HER2 T-Dxd and MIRV combination treatments in selected MA/MLA cases.
