(5.1, 6.1) Conduct an ophthalmic exam including visual acuity and slit lamp exam prior to initiation of ELAHERE, every other cycle for the first 8 cycles, and as clinically indicated. (2.3) Administer prophylactic artificial tears and ophthalmic topical steroids. (2.3, 5.1) Withhold ELAHERE for ocular toxicities until improvement and resume at the same or reduced dose.

Overview
Mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx is a folate receptor alpha (FRα)-directed antibody and microtubule inhibitor that is FDA approved for the treatment of adult patients with FRα positive, platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian,fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, who have received one to three prior systemic treatment regimens. Select patients for therapy based on an FDA-approved test.. There is a Black Box Warning for this drug as shown here. Common adverse reactions include increased aspartate aminotransferase, fatigue, increased alanine aminotransferase, blurred vision, nausea, increased alkaline phosphatase, diarrhea, abdominal pain, keratopathy, peripheral neuropathy, musculoskeletal pain, decreased lymphocytes, decreased platelets, decreased magnesium, decreased hemoglobin, dry eye, constipation, decreased leukocytes, vomiting, decreased albumin, decreased appetite, and decreased neutrophils..
Adult Indications and Dosage
FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Adult)
- ELAHERE is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with folate receptor-alpha (FRα) positive, platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, who have received one to three prior systemic treatment regimens. Select patients for therapy based on an FDA-approved test.
- The recommended dosage of ELAHERE is 6 mg/kg adjusted ideal body weight (AIBW) administered once every 3 weeks (21-day cycle) as an intravenous infusion until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Dosing based on AIBW reduces exposure variability for patients who are either under or overweight.
The total dose of ELAHERE is calculated based on each patient’s AIBW using the following formula:
AIBW = Ideal Body Weight (IBW [kg]) + 0.4*(Actual weight [kg] – IBW) Female IBW [kg] = 0.9*height[cm] – 92
- Injection: 100 mg/20 mL (5 mg/mL) clear to slightly opalescent, colorless solution in a single-dose vial.

5.1 Ocular Disorders ELAHERE can cause severe ocular adverse reactions, including visual impairment, keratopathy (corneal disorders), dry eye, photophobia, eye pain, and uveitis.
Ocular adverse reactions occurred in 59% of patients with ovarian cancer treated with ELAHERE. Eleven percent (11%) of patients experienced Grade 3 ocular adverse reactions, including blurred vision, keratopathy (corneal disorders), dry eye, cataract, photophobia, and eye pain; two patients (0.3%) experienced Grade 4 events (keratopathy and cataract). The most common (≥5%) ocular adverse reactions were blurred vision (48%), keratopathy (36%), dry eye (27%), cataract (16%), photophobia (14%), and eye pain (10%). [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
The median time to onset for first ocular adverse reaction was 5.1 weeks (range: 0.1 to 68.6). Of the patients who experienced ocular events, 53% had complete resolution; 38% had partial improvement (defined as a decrease in severity by one or more grades from the worst grade at last follow up. Ocular adverse reactions led to permanent discontinuation of ELAHERE in 1% of patients.
Premedication and use of lubricating and ophthalmic topical steroid eye drops during treatment with ELAHERE are recommended [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. Advise patients to avoid use of contact lenses during treatment with ELAHERE unless directed by a healthcare provider.
Refer patients to an eye care professional for an ophthalmic exam including visual acuity and slit lamp exam prior to treatment initiation, every other cycle for the first 8 cycles, and as clinically indicated. Promptly refer patients to an eye care professional for any new or worsening ocular signs and symptoms.
Monitor for ocular toxicity and withhold, reduce, or permanently discontinue ELAHERE based on severity and persistence of ocular adverse reactions. [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].
5.2 Pneumonitis Severe, life-threatening, or fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD), including pneumonitis, can occur in patients treated with ELAHERE.
Pneumonitis occurred in 10% of patients treated with ELAHERE, including 1% with Grade 3 events and 1 patient (0.1%) with a Grade 4 event. One patient (0.1%) died due to respiratory failure in the setting of pneumonitis and lung metastases. One patient (0.1%) died due to respiratory failure of unknown etiology.
Pneumonitis led to permanent discontinuation of ELAHERE in 3% of patients.
Monitor patients for pulmonary signs and symptoms of pneumonitis, which may include hypoxia, cough, dyspnea, or interstitial infiltrates on radiologic exams. Infectious, neoplastic, and other causes for such symptoms should be excluded through appropriate investigations. Withhold ELAHERE for patients who develop persistent or recurrent Grade 2 pneumonitis until symptoms resolve to ≤ Grade 1 and consider dose reduction. Permanently discontinue ELAHERE in all patients with Grade 3 or 4 pneumonitis [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)]. Patients who are asymptomatic may continue dosing of ELAHERE with close monitoring.
5.3 Peripheral Neuropathy Peripheral neuropathy occurred in 36% of patients with ovarian cancer treated with ELAHERE across clinical trials; 3% of patients experienced Grade 3 peripheral neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy adverse reactions included peripheral neuropathy (20%), peripheral sensory neuropathy (9%), paraesthesia (6%), neurotoxicity (3%), hypoaesthesia (1%), peripheral motor neuropathy (0.9%), polyneuropathy (0.3%), and peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy (0.1%).
The median time to onset of peripheral neuropathy was 5.9 weeks (range 0.1 to 126.7). Of the patients who experienced peripheral neuropathy, 23% had complete resolution and 12% had partial improvement (defined as a decrease in severity by one or more grades from the worst grade) at last follow up. Peripheral neuropathy led to discontinuation of ELAHERE in 0.7% of patients.
Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of neuropathy, such as paresthesia, tingling or a burning sensation, neuropathic pain, muscle weakness, or dysesthesia. For patients experiencing new or worsening peripheral neuropathy, withhold dosage, dose reduce, or permanently discontinue ELAHERE based on the severity of peripheral neuropathy [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].
5.4 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on its mechanism of action, ELAHERE can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman because it contains a genotoxic compound (DM4) and affects actively dividing cells.
Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ELAHERE and for 7 months after the last dose
