Prise en charge médicale de la récidive du cancer épithélial de l'ovaire: Medical management of recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer.
    Bulletin du cancer, 2021, Volume: 108, Issue:9S1

    The panel of therapeutic options available for medical treatment of relapsed ovarian cancer increased over the last years. In late, platinum-sensitive relapse, standard treatment remains platinum-based polychemotherapy. The choice between bevacizumab added to chemotherapy followed by maintenance and inhibitors of poly-(ADP-riboses) polymerases (PARPi) after response to platinum-based therapy should be discussed, taking into account prior treatment, contraindications, and disease characteristics (biology, symptoms…). The addition of bevacizumab at first platinum-sensitive relapse can be considered if it has not been administered in first line, and it is optional (rechallenge) if previously administered (but without Marketing Authorization in this setting). PARPi are indicated for maintenance therapy after response to platinum-based chemotherapy (whatever the treatment line), regardless of BRCA mutational status, in case of no prior administration. Early relapses are associated with poor prognosis and therapeutic options are more limited. They are treated by monochemotherapy without platinum agents, associated with bevacizumab if not administered previously. Beyond first early relapse, there is no standard and inclusion in a clinical trial should be proposed if possible. Several clinical studies assessing associations of immunotherapy and chemotherapy and/or antiangiogenic drugs and/or targeted therapies (such as PARPi) are ongoing in early or late relapse.

Exploiting the folate receptor α in oncology.
    Nature reviews. Clinical oncology, 2020, Volume: 17, Issue:6

    Folate receptor α (FRα) came into focus as an anticancer target many decades after the successful development of drugs targeting intracellular folate metabolism, such as methotrexate and pemetrexed. Binding to FRα is one of several methods by which folate is taken up by cells; however, this receptor is an attractive anticancer drug target owing to the overexpression of FRα in a range of solid tumours, including ovarian, lung and breast cancers. Furthermore, using FRα to better localize effective anticancer therapies to their target tumours using platforms such as antibody-drug conjugates, small-molecule drug conjugates, radioimmunoconjugates and, more recently, chimeric antigen receptor T cells could further improve the outcomes of patients with FRα-overexpressing cancers. FRα can also be harnessed for predictive biomarker research. Moreover, imaging FRα radiologically or in real time during surgery can lead to improved functional imaging and surgical outcomes, respectively. In this Review, we describe the current status of research into FRα in cancer, including data from several late-phase clinical trials involving FRα-targeted therapies, and the use of new technologies to develop FRα-targeted agents with improved therapeutic indices.

Clinical Trials of Novel Targeted Therapies in Ovarian Cancer: Moving Beyond Poly ADP Ribose Polymerase (PARP) Inhibitors.
    Current pharmaceutical biotechnology, 2018, Volume: 19, Issue:14

    Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is one of the most common cancers in the female reproductive system and deadliest gynecological cancer in the United States. Standard treatments by surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy are not satisfied for the patients with high risk of relapse. Advances in molecular biology for EOC development have brought several targeted therapies to benefit recurrent patients. Poly-ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) may be one of the most successful classes of targeted therapies with three approved medicines. For better clinical outcomes and more comprehensive disease management of EOC, more novel classes of targeted therapies are needed.. We focus on non-PARPi novel targeted therapies that are completed or on-going in phase III clinical trials by searching databases of Pubmed and Clinicaltrials.gov. Keywords of "ovarian cancer, targeted therapy and phase III trial" were used for publications and information from May 2012 to May 2018.. There are total 150 viable EOC phase III studies listed in Clinicaltrials.gov., including 20 completed studies with results and 73 on-going studies. Bevacizumab plus chemotherapy is the only medication with government approval for recurrent EOC. Targeted therapies against other growthrelated factors, cytokines and folate receptor are failed in phase III trials or still on-going.. Implications of on-going phase III trials are: 1) combination therapy of bevacizumab with atezolizumab may be the most anticipated studies for approvals; 2) mirvetuximab soravtansine plus chemotherapy may generate positive results to justify an approval; and 3) Immune therapy for EOC may bring new treatments for the patients.

Folate receptor alpha antagonists in preclinical and early stage clinical development for the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer.
    Expert opinion on investigational drugs, 2016, Volume: 25, Issue:12

    The prognosis of patients affected by ovarian cancer has not substantially changed in the last decades and improving survival still remains a challenge. In the promising era of 'personalized therapy' several new biologic therapies are currently being investigated: in this setting, targeting the folate receptor (FR) has been considered a new potential strategy for biologic therapy. Areas covered: The aim of the current review is to summarize, giving a critical overview,promising folate receptor alpha antagonists under preclinical or early clinical development for ovarian cancer. Expert opinion: Two categories of therapeutics are included in this class: FRα targeted mAbs and FRα-binding-ADC (Antibody drug conjugates); both share the interesting possibility of selecting patients via a biomarker which is already available. In the first class, farletuzumab has reached the most advanced stage in clinical evaluation and results of a Phase II randomized trial are awaited to assess its efficacy in a specific patients' setting. MOv18 IgE represents a novel strategy to target FRα expressing cells, which has shown encouraging results in preclinical studies: further evaluation is needed in the clinical setting. IMGN 853 is an innovative FRα-binding ADC under development, with only preliminary results of a Phase I trial available.

Mirvetuximab Soravtansine in FRα-Positive, Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer.
    The New England journal of medicine, 2023, Dec-07, Volume: 389, Issue:23

    Mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx (MIRV), a first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate targeting folate receptor α (FRα), is approved for the treatment of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer in the United States.. We conducted a phase 3, global, confirmatory, open-label, randomized, controlled trial to compare the efficacy and safety of MIRV with the investigator's choice of chemotherapy in the treatment of platinum-resistant, high-grade serous ovarian cancer. Participants who had previously received one to three lines of therapy and had high FRα tumor expression (≥75% of cells with ≥2+ staining intensity) were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive MIRV (6 mg per kilogram of adjusted ideal body weight every 3 weeks) or chemotherapy (paclitaxel, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, or topotecan). The primary end point was investigator-assessed progression-free survival; key secondary analytic end points included objective response, overall survival, and participant-reported outcomes.. A total of 453 participants underwent randomization; 227 were assigned to the MIRV group and 226 to the chemotherapy group. The median progression-free survival was 5.62 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.34 to 5.95) with MIRV and 3.98 months (95% CI, 2.86 to 4.47) with chemotherapy (P<0.001). An objective response occurred in 42.3% of the participants in the MIRV group and in 15.9% of those in the chemotherapy group (odds ratio, 3.81; 95% CI, 2.44 to 5.94; P<0.001). Overall survival was significantly longer with MIRV than with chemotherapy (median, 16.46 months vs. 12.75 months; hazard ratio for death, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.50 to 0.89; P = 0.005). During the treatment period, fewer adverse events of grade 3 or higher occurred with MIRV than with chemotherapy (41.7% vs. 54.1%), as did serious adverse events of any grade (23.9% vs. 32.9%) and events leading to discontinuation (9.2% vs. 15.9%).. Among participants with platinum-resistant, FRα-positive ovarian cancer, treatment with MIRV showed a significant benefit over chemotherapy with respect to progression-free and overall survival and objective response.

Phase III, randomized trial of mirvetuximab soravtansine versus chemotherapy in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer: primary analysis of FORWARD I.
    Annals of oncology : official journal of the European Society for Medical Oncology, 2021, Volume: 32, Issue:6

    Mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV) is an antibody-drug conjugate comprising a folate receptor alpha (FRα)-binding antibody, cleavable linker, and the maytansinoid DM4, a potent tubulin-targeting agent. The randomized, open-label, phase III study FORWARD I compared MIRV and investigator's choice chemotherapy in patients with platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).. Eligible patients with 1-3 prior lines of therapy and whose tumors were positive for FRα expression were randomly assigned, in a 2 : 1 ratio, to receive MIRV (6 mg/kg, adjusted ideal body weight) or chemotherapy (paclitaxel, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, or topotecan). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival [PFS, Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1, blinded independent central review] in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population and in the prespecified FRα high population.. A total of 366 patients were randomized; 243 received MIRV and 109 received chemotherapy. The primary endpoint, PFS, did not reach statistical significance in either the ITT [hazard ratio (HR), 0.98, P = 0.897] or the FRα high population (HR, 0.69, P = 0.049). Superior outcomes for MIRV over chemotherapy were observed in all secondary endpoints in the FRα high population including improved objective response rate (24% versus 10%), CA-125 responses (53% versus 25%), and patient-reported outcomes (27% versus 13%). Fewer treatment-related grade 3 or higher adverse events (25.1% versus 44.0%), and fewer events leading to dose reduction (19.8% versus 30.3%) and treatment discontinuation (4.5% versus 8.3%) were seen with MIRV compared with chemotherapy.. In patients with platinum-resistant EOC, MIRV did not result in a significant improvement in PFS compared with chemotherapy. Secondary endpoints consistently favored MIRV, particularly in patients with high FRα expression. MIRV showed a differentiated and more manageable safety profile than chemotherapy.

Phase Ib study of mirvetuximab soravtansine, a folate receptor alpha (FRα)-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), in combination with bevacizumab in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.
    Gynecologic oncology, 2020, Volume: 157, Issue:2

    To evaluate the safety and clinical activity of mirvetuximab soravtansine, an antibody-drug conjugate comprising a humanized anti-folate receptor alpha (FRα) monoclonal antibody, cleavable linker, and the maytansinoid DM4, a potent tubulin-targeting agent, in combination with bevacizumab in patients with FRα-positive, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.. Patients with platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer were administered mirvetuximab soravtansine (6 mg/kg, adjusted ideal body weight) and bevacizumab (15 mg/kg) once every 3 weeks. Eligibility included FRα positivity by immunochemistry and prior bevacizumab exposure was permitted. Adverse events, tumor response, and progression-free survival (PFS) were determined.. Sixty-six patients, with a median of 3 prior lines of therapy (range, 1-8), received the combination of mirvetuximab soravtansine and bevacizumab at full dosing during the escalation and expansion stages of the study. Adverse events were generally mild-to-moderate (≤grade 2) with diarrhea, blurred vision, nausea, and fatigue being the most common treatment-related toxicities. Six cases of pneumonitis (9%; all grade 1 or 2), an adverse event of special interest, were observed. The confirmed objective response rate (ORR) was 39%, including 5 complete responses and 21 partial responses, and the median PFS was 6.9 months. The combination was particularly active in the subset of patients (n = 16) who were bevacizumab-naïve, less heavily pretreated (1-2 prior lines), and whose tumors exhibited medium/high FRα expression (ORR, 56% with a median duration of response of 12 months; PFS, 9.9 months).. The combination of mirvetuximab soravtansine with bevacizumab is well tolerated in patients with platinum-resistant, recurrent ovarian cancer. The encouraging efficacy measures compare favorably to reported outcomes for bevacizumab combined with standard chemotherapy in similar patient populations.

FORWARD I: a Phase III study of mirvetuximab soravtansine versus chemotherapy in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.
    Future oncology (London, England), 2018, Volume: 14, Issue:17

    Mirvetuximab soravtansine, an antibody-drug conjugate that binds with high affinity to folate receptor-α to provide tumor-directed delivery of the potent microtubule-disrupting agent DM4, has emerged as a promising investigational agent for the treatment of ovarian cancer, particularly in the setting of platinum-resistant disease. Here we describe the rationale and design of FORWARD I (NCT02631876), the first randomized, multicenter Phase III study to compare the safety and efficacy of mirvetuximab soravtansine versus investigator's choice of chemotherapy in women with folate receptor-α-positive, platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer. Patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio. The primary end point is progression-free survival, and key secondary objectives include comparison of overall response rates, overall survival and duration of response.

Phase 1 dose-escalation study of mirvetuximab soravtansine (IMGN853), a folate receptor α-targeting antibody-drug conjugate, in patients with solid tumors.
    Cancer, 2017, Aug-15, Volume: 123, Issue:16

    Mirvetuximab soravtansine (IMGN853) is an antibody-drug conjugate that selectively targets folate receptor α (FRα). In this phase 1 dose-escalation study, the authors investigated IMGN853 in patients with FRα-positive solid tumors.. Patients received IMGN853 on day 1 of a 21-day cycle (once every 3 weeks dosing), with cycles repeated until patients experienced dose-limiting toxicity or progression. Dose escalation commenced in single-patient cohorts for the first 4 planned dose levels and then followed a standard 3 + 3 scheme. The primary objectives were to determine the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended phase 2 dose. Secondary objectives were to determine safety and tolerability, to characterize the pharmacokinetic profile, and to describe preliminary clinical activity.. In total, 44 patients received treatment at doses escalating from 0.15 to 7.0 mg/kg. No meaningful drug accumulation was observed with the dosing regimen of once every 3 weeks. The most common treatment-related adverse events were fatigue, blurred vision, and diarrhea, the majority of which were grade 1 or 2. The dose-limiting toxicities observed were grade 3 hypophosphatemia (5.0 mg/kg) and grade 3 punctate keratitis (7.0 mg/kg). Two patients, both of whom were individuals with epithelial ovarian cancer, achieved confirmed tumor responses according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1, and each was a partial response.. IMGN853 demonstrated a manageable safety profile and encouraging preliminary clinical activity, particularly in patients with ovarian cancer. The results establish a recommended phase 2 dosing of 6.0 mg/kg (based on adjusted ideal body weight) once every 3 weeks. Cancer 2017. © 2017 American Cancer Society.

Characterization of folate receptor alpha (FRα) expression in archival tumor and biopsy samples from relapsed epithelial ovarian cancer patients: A phase I expansion study of the FRα-targeting antibody-drug conjugate mirvetuximab soravtansine.
    Gynecologic oncology, 2017, Volume: 147, Issue:2

    To characterize folate receptor alpha (FRα) expression in archival and fresh biopsy tumor samples from relapsed ovarian cancer patients.. Patients with ovarian tumors amenable to biopsy were eligible to enroll. Eligibility included a minimum requirement of FRα positivity in archival tumor samples (≥25% of cells with ≥2+ staining intensity). Patients received mirvetuximab soravtansine at 6mg/kg once every 3weeks. Core needle biopsies were collected before and after treatment and FRα levels assessed by immunohistochemistry. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the association between receptor expression and response.. Twenty-seven heavily pre-treated patients were enrolled. Six individuals (22%) did not have evaluable pre-treatment biopsies due to insufficient tumor cells. The concordance of FRα expression in archival and biopsy tissues was 71%, and no major shifts in receptor expression were seen in matched pre- and post-treatment biopsy samples. Adverse events were generally mild (≤grade 2) with keratopathy (48%), fatigue (44%), diarrhea, and blurred vision (each 37%) being the most common treatment-related toxicities. The confirmed objective response rate (ORR) was 22%, including two complete responses and four partial responses. Superior efficacy measures were observed in the subset of patients with the highest FRα levels (ORR, 31%; progression-free survival, 5.4months).. Concordance of FRα expression in biopsy versus archival tumor samples suggests that archival tissue can reliably identify patients with receptor-positive tumors and is appropriate for patient selection in mirvetuximab soravtansine clinical trials. Regardless of the tissue source analyzed, higher FRα expression was associated with greater antitumor activity.

A Novel Antibody-Drug Conjugate Targeting Nectin-2 Suppresses Ovarian Cancer Progression in Mouse Xenograft Models.
    International journal of molecular sciences, 2022, Oct-15, Volume: 23, Issue:20

    Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer, followed by front line is mostly platinum agents and PARP inhibitors, and very limited option in later lines. Therefore, there is a need for alternative therapeutic options. Nectin-2, which is overexpressed in ovarian cancer, is a known immune checkpoint that deregulates immune cell function. In this study, we generated a novel anti-nectin-2 antibody (chimeric 12G1, c12G1), and further characterized it using epitope mapping, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, surface plasmon resonance, fluorescence-activated cell sorting, and internalization assays. The c12G1 antibody specifically bound to the C2 domain of human nectin-2 with high affinity (K

SYD985, a novel duocarmycin-based HER2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate, shows promising antitumor activity in epithelial ovarian carcinoma with HER2/Neu expression.
    Gynecologic oncology, 2017, Volume: 146, Issue:1

    Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is an aggressive and heterogeneous disease. <10% of EOC demonstrate HER2/neu 3+ receptor over-expression. However, moderate to low (i.e., 2+ and 1+) HER2/neu expression is reported in up to 50% of EOC. The objective of this study was to compare the anti-tumor activity of SYD985, a novel HER2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), to trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in EOC models with differential HER2/neu expression.. The cytotoxicity of SYD985 and T-DM1 was evaluated using ten primary EOC cell lines with 0/1+, 2+, and 3+ HER2/neu expression in antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), proliferation, viability and bystander killing experiments. Finally, the in vivo activity of SYD985 and T-DM1 was also studied in ovarian cancer xenografts.. SYD985 and T-DM1 induced similar ADCC in the presence of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) against EOC cell lines with differential HER2/neu expression. In contrast, SYD985 was 3 to 42 fold more cytotoxic in the absence of PBL when compared to T-DM1 (p<0.0001). Unlike T-DM1, SYD985 induced efficient bystander killing of HER2/neu 0/1+ tumor cells when admixed with HER2/neu 3+ EOC cells. In vivo studies confirmed that SYD985 is significantly more active than T-DM1 against HER2/neu 3+ EOC xenografts.. SYD985 is a novel ADC with remarkable activity against EOC with strong (3+) as well as moderate to low (i.e., 2+ and 1+) HER2/neu expression. SYD985 is more potent than T-DM1 in comparative experiments and unlike T-DM1, it is active against EOC demonstrating moderate/low or heterogeneous HER2/neu expression.

Eradication of growth of HER2-positive ovarian cancer with trastuzumab-DM1, an antibody-cytotoxic drug conjugate in mouse xenograft model.
    International journal of gynecological cancer : official journal of the International Gynecological Cancer Society, 2014, Volume: 24, Issue:7

    Ovarian cancer is 1 kind of a highly malignant gynecologic tumor, and current treatments have not achieved satisfactory effects. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted therapies including trastuzumab and trastuzumab-DM1 (T-DM1) (antibody-cytotoxic drug conjugates) have been applied to treat HER2-overexpressing breast cancers in clinic. In the present study, we explored whether T-DM1 could effectively treat HER2-positive human ovarian carcinoma in vitro and in vivo.. HER2 expressions of 6 ovarian cancer cell lines and 2 breast carcinoma cell lines were validated, and the binding capacity of T-DM1 to HER2-positive ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Nude mice bearing intraperitoneal and subcutaneous SKOV3 xenografts were used to investigate the antitumor effect of T-DM1.. High HER2 expressions in SKOV3 cell lines were detected. The binding capacity of T-DM1 to HER2-positive SKOV3 cells was in a similar manner comparing with trastuzumab. In vitro, T-DM1 showed strong growth inhibitory on SKOV3 cells, with IC50 values of 0.15 nmol/L. Nude mice bearing intraperitoneal and subcutaneous SKOV3 xenografts were used to investigate the antitumor effects of T-DM1 in vivo. In subcutaneous xenografts model, T-DM1 (30 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) indicated significant anticancer effects. It is noteworthy that tumors were completely eradicated in the T-DM1 (30 mg/kg) group, and no regrowth was observed in a long time after the termination of the treatment. In the peritoneal xenograft model, tumor nodules in 3 of 7 mice were hardly observed in the abdominal cavity of mice after intraperitoneal injection of T-DM1 (30 mg/kg). At the same time, tumor nodules from the other 4 mice weighed on the average of only 0.07 g versus 1.77 g in control group.. Our data showed that T-DM1 possessed promising antitumor effects on HER2-overexpressing ovarian cancer in mouse model, which provided valuable references for the future clinical trials.
