IMGN853 for Endometrial Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity and safety profile of mirvetuximab soravtansine (IMGN853) in patients with type II endometrial cancers that overexpress folate receptor alpha (FRα).
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, there is a requirement for a 'washout period' (time without taking certain medications) from prior systemic anti-neoplastic therapy, which is either five half-lives or four weeks, whichever is shorter.
What safety data exists for Mirvetuximab Soravtansine (IMGN853) in humans?
What makes the drug IMGN853 unique for treating endometrial cancer?
IMGN853 (Mirvetuximab Soravtansine) is unique because it specifically targets the folate receptor alpha (FRα), which is overexpressed in certain aggressive endometrial cancers. This targeted approach allows the drug to deliver a potent cancer-killing agent directly to the cancer cells, potentially improving outcomes for patients with FRα-positive tumors.12678
What data supports the effectiveness of the drug Mirvetuximab Soravtansine (IMGN853) for endometrial cancer?
Research shows that Mirvetuximab Soravtansine is effective in treating aggressive endometrial cancers that overexpress the folate receptor alpha (FRα). In studies, it led to complete tumor resolution in certain endometrial cancer models and increased survival in uterine cancer models with high FRα expression.12479
