Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are women with persistent or recurrent FRα-positive endometrial cancer who have measurable disease and have received up to three prior lines of therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with endometrial cancer that does not express folate receptor alpha or those who have received prior folate receptor-targeting therapies may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of mirvetuximab soravtansine (IMGN853) in women diagnosed with type II endometrial cancers that express folate receptor alpha (FRα). Participants will include those with persistent or recurrent uterine serous carcinoma, Grade 3 endometrial adenocarcinoma, or carcinosarcoma with high-grade components. The study will measure the objective response rate (ORR) as the primary outcome, while secondary outcomes will include overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and safety assessments. Patients will receive IMGN853 intravenously every three weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for women with FRα-positive endometrial cancer, potentially improving their response rates and survival outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While this specific approach is novel, similar studies targeting folate receptor alpha in other cancers have shown promising results.
