RESUMEN
Ovarian cancer, ranked as the second leading cause of gynecologic malignancy-related deaths globally, poses a formidable challenge despite advances in early detection and treatment modalities. This paper explores the efficacy and safety of mirvetuximab soravtansine, the first folate receptor alpha (FRα)-targeting antibody-drug conjugate, in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer expressing FRα. A review of 4 key studies involving 453 participants consistently demonstrates mirvetuximab soravtansine's clinically meaningful antitumor activity and favorable safety profile. Clinical implications emphasize mirvetuximab soravtansine's pivotal role in targeted therapy, especially for high FRα-expressing tumors, potentially reshaping platinum-resistant ovarian cancer management. The combination therapy approach introduces a novel dimension, suggesting enhanced therapeutic outcomes. Even in heavily pretreated patients, mirvetuximab soravtansine's favorable tolerability positions it as a viable option. The reliability of archival tissue for FRα assessment simplifies patient selection, streamlining accessibility to targeted therapies. However, identified gaps, including limited diversity in patient populations, sparse quality of life data, and the need for long-term safety information, indicate areas for future research. Exploration of additional biomarkers predicting mirvetuximab soravtansine responsiveness is essential for personalized treatment.
