ELAHERE®  Shows Consistent Survival Benefit in Long-Term Analysis for Certain Ovarian Cancer Patients

ELAHERE® Shows Consistent Survival Benefit in Long-Term Analysis for Certain Ovarian Cancer Patients

  • Final data analysis from Phase 3 MIRASOL trial after 30.5-month median follow-up demonstrated 32% reduction in risk of death with ELAHERE compared to chemotherapy in folate receptor alpha (FRα)-positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC)
  • Data presented in a late-breaking oral presentation at the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer in Seattle

AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) today announced the final analysis of the confirmatory Phase 3 MIRASOL trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of ELAHERE ® (mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx) in women with folate receptor alpha (FRα)-positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) compared to chemotherapy. At 30.5 months median follow-up, treatment with ELAHERE continued to show significant improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to investigator's choice (IC) chemotherapy. 1 Ovarian cancer patients often present with late-stage disease and are historically first treated with platinum-based chemotherapy, which they may become resistant to and require another therapy, such as ELAHERE. 2

"Ovarian cancer can be devastating, and when cancer cells stop responding to chemotherapy patients may feel hopeless about their journey. The data presented today reinforce the importance of ELAHERE as a transformative therapy for patients with limited options," said Svetlana Kobina , MD, PhD, vice president, oncology medical affairs, AbbVie. "We remain steadfast in our commitment to bring forward innovative therapies that improve the lives of patients with difficult-to-treat cancers."
