Conference Call to be Held at
“This quarter we achieved a significant milestone for patients and our organization. With positive data from our confirmatory MIRASOL trial, ELAHERE is the first therapy to demonstrate an overall survival benefit versus chemotherapy in a Phase 3 trial in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. These data further support the potential of ELAHERE to become the new standard of care for FRα-positive platinum-resistant disease,” said
Enyedy continued, “We also progressed our broader development program to move ELAHERE into platinum-sensitive disease and position it as the combination agent of choice in ovarian cancer. Turning to our second pivotal program, PVEK, we presented an interim analysis from our CADENZA trial showing encouraging anti-tumor activity and durable responses in BPDCN and are pleased to share that we enrolled our last patient in the pivotal de novo frontline cohort at the end of the second quarter. We also advanced development with IMGC936 and IMGN151, our second-generation ADC targeting FRα. Looking ahead, we see continued momentum through the second half of the year with multiple data readouts and regulatory milestones, including efficacy results from PICCOLO with ELAHERE monotherapy in platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer and from the expansion cohorts with the PVEK/VEN/AZA triplet in frontline AML as well as the submissions of the MAA and sBLA for ELAHERE.”

ABOUT ELAHERE
ELAHERE® (mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx) is a first-in-class ADC comprising a folate receptor alpha-binding antibody, cleavable linker, and the maytansinoid payload DM4, a potent tubulin inhibitor designed to kill the targeted cancer cells.
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.
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on tumor response rate and durability of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.
Eye problems are common with ELAHERE and can be severe. ELAHERE also can cause severe or life-threatening inflammation of the lungs that may lead to death and patients may develop nerve problems called peripheral neuropathy during treatment. Please see full Prescribing Information, including Boxed Warning, and Medication Guide for ELAHERE.
