FRα-targeting ADCs, including MIRV, demonstrated definite efficacy and good safety as novel choices for second-line and beyond treatment of advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer. Patients with high FRα expression showed ORR and PFS benefits similar to those in the overall cohort.

Intratumoral imaging analysis using tumors on day 21st showed an association between the antitumor effect and intratumoral accumulation of eribulin. Conclusions These results suggest that FZEC may be a promising treatment for FRα-expressing EC of all four molecular subtypes.

Background: MORAb-202 (farletuzumab ecteribulin) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) comprised of the humanized antifolate receptor-alpha (FRα) monoclonal antibody, farletuzumab, and the cytotoxic microtubule inhibitor, eribulin, conjugated by a cathepsin B-cleavable linker. Tumor assessments will be conducted by investigators using RECIST v1.1 at screening, every 6 weeks for 24 weeks, then every 12 weeks or as needed. Assessments of computed tomography scans for ILD will be conducted by a central expert review board.

Measures to enhance early detection of ILD have been introduced and steps to potentially reduce the occurrence of severe ILD include implementation of BSA–based dosing, lung-specific eligibility criteria, revised and stringent ILD management criteria, and ILD training for relevant study personnel. *Formerly MORAb-202.

Background MORAb-202 is an ADC consisting of a FRα-targeting antibody (farletuzumab) paired with a cathepsin B-cleavable linker and an eribulin payload. The major toxicity observed with MORAb-202 treatment was hematologic toxicity. Conclusion These findings suggest MORAb-202 may be a promising ADC for TNBC and warrants further clinical investigation in this setting.

The ADC could be a more reasonable choice than mAb as a targeting agent for the FOLRα-expressing tumor.

The antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) MORAb-202, consisting of farletuzumab paired with a cathepsin B-cleavable linker and eribulin, targets folate receptor alpha (FRA), which is frequently overexpressed in various tumor types. Toxicology studies (Q3Wx2) in non-human primates suggested that the major observed toxicity of MORAb-202 is hematologic toxicity. Overall, these findings support the concept that MORAb-202 represents a promising investigational ADC for the treatment of TNBC patients.

In orthotopic xenograft mouse models, FOLR1-expressing T47D tumors and non-FOLR1-expressing MCF7 tumors were suppressed upon MORAb-202 administration. The novel anti-FOLR1 antibody-eribulin conjugate MORAb-202 has potential antitumor effects in breast cancer.
