“Building on the momentum generated in the first half of 2023, we delivered a strong third quarter highlighted by significant ELAHERE revenue growth and the achievement of key operational milestones,” said
Enyedy continued, “In addition, we advanced the ELAHERE development program and are pleased to report that our PICCOLO trial in platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer has met the primary endpoint of objective response rate based on an interim efficacy assessment. With a number of patients remaining on treatment and longer follow-up required to establish mature response durability of ELAHERE in this patient population, we anticipate an ORR of at least 48% when we report full data in mid-2024. Turning to our second pivotal program, PVEK, we continue to advance our 802 study and look forward to reporting data from our PVEK/VEN/AZA triplet in frontline AML at ASH in December. We also continued to monitor the NSCLC cohort with IMGC936 and advanced dose escalation with IMGN151, our second-generation ADC targeting FRα. We look forward to a strong finish to the year and a productive 2024 with the continued growth of ELAHERE, important new data for our programs, and geographic expansion in

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.
