Antibody-Drug Conjugates: The New Treatment Approaches for Ovarian Cancer. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
In OC, primary chemotherapy, paclitaxel carboplatin, bevacizumab, and PARP inhibitors have shown prolonged progression-free survival and a favorable overall response rate compared to conventional treatments...Recently, mirvetuximab soravtansine, an alpha-folate receptor (FRα)-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for patients with FRα-positive recurrent epithelial OC (EOC)...Ongoing clinical trials are evaluating ADCs targeting FRα and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, trophoblast cell surface antigen-2, sodium-dependent phosphate transport protein 2B, and cadherin-6 in Phase II/III studies. In this review, we summarize the existing evidence supporting the use of ADCs in OC, discuss ongoing clinical trials and preclinical studies, and explore the potential of these innovative agents to address the challenges in OC treatment.
