Purpose This phase I expansion cohort study evaluated the safety and clinical activity of mirvetuximab soravtansine (IMGN853), an antibody–drug conjugate consisting of a humanized anti–folate receptor alpha (FRα) monoclonal antibody linked to the tubulin-disrupting maytansinoid DM4, in a population of patients with FRα-positive and platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Patients and Methods Patients with platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer received IMGN853 at 6.0 mg/kg (adjusted ideal body weight) once every 3 weeks. Eligibility included a minimum requirement of FRα positivity by immunohistochemistry (≥ 25% of tumor cells with at least 2+ staining intensity). Adverse events, tumor response (via Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] version 1.1), and progression-free survival (PFS) were determined. Results Forty-six patients were enrolled. Adverse events were generally mild (≤ grade 2), with diarrhea (44%), blurred vision (41%), nausea (37%), and fatigue (30%) being the most commonly observed treatment-related toxicities. Grade 3 fatigue and hypotension were reported in two patients each (4%). For all evaluable patients, the confirmed objective response rate was 26%, including one complete and 11 partial responses, and the median PFS was 4.8 months. The median duration of response was 19.1 weeks. Notably, in the subset of patients who had received three or fewer prior lines of therapy (n = 23), an objective response rate of 39%, PFS of 6.7 months, and duration of response of 19.6 weeks were observed. Conclusion IMGN853 exhibited a manageable safety profile and was active in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, with the strongest signals of efficacy observed in less heavily pretreated individuals. On the basis of these findings, the dose, schedule, and target population were identified for a phase III trial of IMGN853 monotherapy in patients with platinum-resistant disease.

TPS5607 Background: XMT-1536 (upifitamab rilsodotin), is a first-in-class Dolaflexin ADC targeting NaPi2b, a sodium-dependent phosphate transport protein, broadly expressed in solid tumors such as serous epithelial ovarian cancer (OC) and non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma. XMT-1536 uses the Dolaflexin platform to deliver approximately 10 DolaLock auristatin payload molecules per antibody and is being evaluated in a Phase I study (NCT03319628). Observation of preliminary antitumor activity was reported in the ovarian cancer expansion cohort, including in patients previously treated with bevacizumab and PARPi (Tolcher et al, ASCO 2019; Richardson et al, ASCO 2019; Hamilton et al, ESMO 2020). Updated data on the OC cohort included 31 patients with higher NaPi2b expression as of December 2020 (Mersana Therapeutics, 2021). In these patients, the ORR was 32% and the DCR was 74%. Complete responses were observed in 2 patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, both of whom had received prior treatment with bevacizumab and PARP inhibitors. Platinum resistant ovarian cancer remains a serious unmet medical need as treatment options are limited and response rates to these treatments are low. Based on the favorable safety and efficacy profile of XMT-1536, UPLIFT was designed as a Phase 2 single-arm registrational cohort of patients with platinum resistant ovarian cancer as part of the ongoing Phase I FIH dose escalation and expansion study to accelerate development and provide a streamlined pathway to regulatory review. Methods: The UPLIFT cohort is enrolling patients with platinum resistant high grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancer with up to 4 prior lines of therapy. The RP2D of XMT-1536 was determined to be 43 mg/m2 administered intravenously every 4 weeks (q4w) and will be the dose evaluated in the UPLIFT cohort. UPLIFT will enroll approximately 180 patients with platinum-resistant advanced ovarian cancer to obtain approximately 100 patients with higher NaPi2b expression. Prior bevacizumab is required for those patients with 1 or 2 prior lines of therapy. Tumor samples (fresh or archived) will be collected prior to enrollment for retrospective tumor tissue evaluation of NaPi2b expression. The primary objective is assessment of confirmed objective response rate to XMT-1536 as assessed by Investigator in patients with higher NaPi2b expression. Secondary endpoints include confirmed objective response rate regardless of NaPi2b expression, duration of response, and adverse events. Correlative aims include assessing blood and tissue biomarkers for association with clinical benefit. This study is being conducted in collaboration with ENGOT and GOG. Patients will be enrolled globally. Clinical trial information: NCT03319628.

BackgroundAnti-programmed death 1 (PD1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) therapies have shown modest activity as monotherapy in recurrent ovarian cancer. Platinum chemotherapies induce T-cell proliferation and enhance tumor recognition. We assessed activity and safety of pembrolizumab with carboplatin in recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.Patients and methodsThis phase I/II, single-arm clinical trial studied concurrent carboplatin and pembrolizumab in recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer. Primary platinum refractory patients were excluded. Patients were treated after progression on subsequent non-platinum systemic therapy after becoming platinum resistant or refractory. Pembrolizumab 200 mg was given on day 1 and carboplatin area under the curve 2 on days 8 and 15 of a 3-week cycle until progression. Imaging was assessed by blinded independent review. PD-L1 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Flow cytometry on peripheral blood mononuclear cells was performed for CD3, CD4, CD8, PD1, CTLA4 and Ki67.ResultsThe most common treatment-related adverse events were lymphopenia (18%) and anemia (9%) with most being grade 1 or 2 (93%). Of 29 patients treated, 23 patients were evaluable for best objective response: 10.3% (95% CI 2.2 to 27.4) had partial response (PR), 51.7% (95% CI 32.5 to 70.6) had stable disease (SD). 56.5% of patients had decreases in target lesions from baseline. All PD-L1-positive patients achieved PR (3/7, 42.8%) or SD (4/7, 57.2%). Median progression-free survival was 4.63 months (95% CI 4.3 to 4.96). Median OS was 11.3 months (95% CI 6.094 to 16.506). Peripheral CD8+PD1+Ki67+ T cells expanded after 3 (p=0.0015) and 5 (p=0.0023) cycles. CTLA4+PD1+CD8+ T cells decreased through the course of treatment up to the 12th cycle (p=0.004). When stratified by ratio of peripheral CD8+PD1+Ki67+ T cells to tumor burden at baseline, patients with a ratio ≥0.0375 who had a significantly longer median OS of 18.37 months compared with those with a ratio <0.0375 who had a median OS of 8.72 months (p=0.0099). No survival advantage was seen with stratification by tumor burden alone (p=0.24) or by CD8+PD1+Ki67+ T cells alone (p=0.53).ConclusionsPembrolizumab with carboplatin was well-tolerated and active in recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. A ratio of peripheral T-cell exhaustion to radiographic tumor burden may identify patients more likely to benefit from this chemoimmunotherapy.Trial registration numberNCT03029598.

TPS5607 Background: Elevated FRα expression is characteristic of a number of solid tumors, including EOC, thereby providing an attractive candidate for targeted therapeutic approaches. Mirvetuximab soravtansine is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), comprising a FRα-binding antibody linked to the tubulin-disrupting maytansinoid DM4, that has shown single agent clinical activity and a favorable safety profile in an ongoing, first-in-human phase 1 trial (NCT01609556). Methods: FORWARD I is a randomized phase 3 study designed to evaluate the efficacy of mirvetuximab soravtansine compared with that of standard-of-care chemotherapy in adult patients with platinum-resistant EOC, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer. Confirmation of FRα positivity by immunohistochemistry (medium or high expression; ≥ 50% of cells with at least moderate staining intensity) and ≤ 3 prior lines of therapy are required for inclusion. A maximum of 333 patients are expected to be recruited. Patients will be randomized 2:1 to Arm 1 (intravenous mirvetuximab soravtansine at a dose of 6.0 mg/kg, calculated using adjusted ideal body weight, on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle) or Arm 2 (investigators’ choice chemotherapy: paclitaxel, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, or topotecan). The primary efficacy endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS; by blinded independent central review) and secondary endpoints include objective response rate, quality of life, overall survival, safety and tolerability, and duration of response. The first patient was enrolled in January 2017. Clinical trial information: NCT02631876.
