Red Flag Origin

DefinitionFolate receptor alpha (FRα) high expression (≥75% of viable tumor cells with ≥2+ membrane staining by VENTANA FOLR1 RxDx) in platinum-resistant high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma. Mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRASOL — mPFS 5.6 vs 4.0 mo, OS 16.5 vs 12.7 mo vs investigator-choice chemo) is FDA-approved 2L+ ADC.

Notes

Companion diagnostic: VENTANA FOLR1 (FOLR1-2.1) RxDx Assay (Roche). Other FRα assays not validated for mirvetuximab selection. Re-biopsy at platinum-resistant progression preferred (expression can shift from primary). FRα-medium / -low excluded from MIRASOL labeling — receive AURELIA-style chemo + bev. Class toxicity: ocular AEs (~50% — keratopathy, blurred vision; lubricating drop prophylaxis required, ophthalmology baseline + on-treatment exams). ILD ~3% but routinely watched.
