Abstract
Recently, peptide-drug conjugate (PDC) has become the most promising conjugated drug for tumor therapy after antibody-drug conjugate due to stronger tumor penetration capacity and lower immunogenicity. CBP-1018 was a PDC with dual-ligand conjugated to MMAE via a cleavable linker (MC-Val-Cit-PABC) that can be lysed by cathepsins B. In this study, two specific LC-MS/MS methods were developed and validated for the determination of CBP-1018 and its metabolite MMAE in human plasma. To prevent the cleavable MC-Val-Cit-PABC linker from degradation, a protease inhibitor (cOmplete solution) was added to the pre-cooled vacuum tubes and the separated plasma samples. The assays involved the pretreatment of CBP-1018 by protein precipitation with H2O-ACN (1:9, v/v) and the extraction of MMAE by liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate under alkaline condition to eliminate the interference of CBP-1018 on MMAE. The two analytes showed good linearities over the calibration ranges (R2 ≥ 9980). Both accuracy and precision met the acceptance criteria. The validated methods were successfully applied to the phase I dose-escalation study of CBP-1018 injection in Chinese patients with solid tumors to evaluate the pharmacokinetic properties of CBP-1018 and MMAE. The results showed that CBP-1018 was eliminated immediately after injection and MMAE reached the maximum exposure at approximately 2 h after infusion. The maximum concentration of MMAE did not exceed 20.0 ng/mL, suggesting that the off-target toxicity of CBP-1018 injection was controllable.

[PMID: 39118097 PMCID: PMC11308542 DOI: 10.1186/s13048-024-01485-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Ovarian cancer stands as the deadliest gynecologic malignancy, responsible for nearly 65% of all gynecologic cancer-related deaths. The challenges in early detection and diagnosis, coupled with the widespread intraperitoneal spread of cancer cells and resistance to chemotherapy, contribute significantly to the high mortality rate of this disease. Due to the absence of specific symptoms and the lack of effective screening methods, most ovarian cancer cases are diagnosed at advanced stages. While chemotherapy is a common treatment, it often leads to tumor recurrence, necessitating further interventions. In recent years, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as a valuable tool in targeted cancer therapy. These complex biotherapeutics combine an antibody that specifically targets tumor specific/associated antigen(s) with a high potency anti-cancer drug through a linker, offering a promising approach for ovarian cancer treatment. The identification of molecular targets in various human tumors has paved the way for the development of targeted therapies, with ADCs being at the forefront of this innovation. By delivering cytotoxic agents directly to tumors and metastatic lesions, ADCs show potential in managing chemo-resistant ovarian cancers. Mucins such as MUC16, MUC13, and MUC1 have shown significantly higher expression in ovarian tumors as compared to normal and/or benign samples, thus have become promising targets for ADC generation. While traditional markers are limited by their elevated levels in non-cancerous conditions, mucins offer a new possibility for targeted treatment in ovarian cancer. This review comprehensively described the potential of mucins for the generation of ADC therapy, highlighting their importance in the quest to improve the outcome of ovarian cancer patients.

Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) consist of monoclonal antibodies that target tumor cells and cytotoxic drugs linked through linkers. By leveraging antibodies' targeting properties, ADCs deliver cytotoxic drugs into tumor cells via endocytosis after identifying the tumor antigen. This precise method aims to kill tumor cells selectively while minimizing harm to normal cells, offering safe and effective therapeutic benefits. Recent years have seen significant progress in antitumor treatment with ADC development, providing patients with new and potent treatment options. With over 300 ADCs explored for various tumor indications and some already approved for clinical use, challenges such as resistance due to factors like antigen expression, ADC processing, and payload have emerged. This review aims to outline the history of ADC development, their structure, mechanism of action, recent composition advancements, target selection, completed and ongoing clinical trials, resistance mechanisms, and intervention strategies. Additionally, it will delve into the potential of ADCs with novel markers, linkers, payloads, and innovative action mechanisms to enhance cancer treatment options. The evolution of ADCs has also led to the emergence of combination therapy as a new therapeutic approach to improve drug efficacy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) offer a promising path for cancer therapy, leveraging the specificity of monoclonal antibodies and the cytotoxicity of linked drugs. The success of ADCs hinges on precise targeting of cancer cells based on protein expression levels. This review explores the relationship between target protein expression and ADC efficacy in solid tumours, focusing on results of clinical trials conducted between January 2019 and May 2023. RECENT FINDINGS We hereby highlight approved ADCs, revealing their effectiveness even in low-expressing target populations. Assessing target expression poses challenges, owing to variations in scoring systems and biopsy types. Emerging methods, like digital image analysis, aim to standardize assessment. The complexity of ADC pharmacokinetics, tumour dynamics, and off-target effects emphasises the need for a balanced approach. This review underscores the importance of understanding target protein dynamics and promoting standardized evaluation methods in shaping the future of ADC-based cancer therapies.

[PMID: 39046895 DOI: 10.1093/oncolo/oyae177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a fast-growing class of cancer drugs designed to selectively deliver cytotoxic payloads through antibody binding to cancer cells with high expression of the target antigen, thus reducing systemic exposure and minimizing off-target effects. However, ADCs are associated with various ocular adverse events (AEs) that may impact treatment administration and patient outcomes. In this review, we provide a summary of ocular AEs associated with approved and investigational ADCs, recommendations for the mitigation and management of ocular AEs, current guidelines and expert opinions, and recommendations for clinical practice. A literature search was performed, using PubMed and Google Scholar, for English-language articles published between January 1985 and January 2023 to identify studies reporting ocular AEs associated with ADC use. Search terms included generic and investigational names of all identified ADCs, and further searches were performed to identify strategies for managing ADC-associated ocular AEs. ADC-associated ocular AEs include symptoms such as blurred vision and foreign-body sensation and signs such as corneal fluorescein staining, corneal pseudomicrocysts, and conjunctivitis. Reported management strategies include ADC dose modification (eg, dose delay or reduction), cool compresses, artificial tears, topical vasoconstrictors, and topical steroids. Although ADC dose modification appears to be beneficial, the preventive and/or therapeutic benefits of the remaining interventions are unclear. Although the exact mechanisms are not fully understood, most ADC-associated ocular AEs are reversible with dose delay or dose reduction. Management of ocular AEs requires a multidisciplinary approach to minimize treatment discontinuation and optimize clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Folate receptor α (FRα) is a cell-surface protein and an attractive target for cancer treatment. We investigated the association between FRα expression and the tumor immune microenvironment in patients with cervical cancer. We examined whole tumor sections of 123 patients with cervical cancer: 67 and 56 sections of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and non-SCC, respectively. FRα expression was assessed using immunohistochemical staining with the anti-FRα monoclonal antibody clone 26B3. Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression was assessed using a combined positive score (CPS). The intratumoral CD3 and CD8 cell densities were calculated as the average number of positive cells in five independent areas. FRα-positivity was identified in 72.4% of the patients, and it differed by histology (SCC vs. non-SCC; 55.2% vs. 92.9%, P<0.001). PD-L1 status was positive (CPS ≥1) in 75.6% and was more commonly expressed in patients with SCC (SCC vs. non-SCC; 83.5% vs. 66.1%, P=0.02). FRα expression had a weak correlation with PD-L1 expression (r=-0.22, P<0.001) and CD8-positive cells (r=-0.19, P=0.03). FRα-positivity was more frequently observed in the PD-L1 CPS <10 group than in the PD-L1 CPS ≥10 group (81% vs. 64%, P=0.03). FRα-high was significantly associated with poor prognosis, especially in the PD-L1 CPS ≥10 groups (hazard ratio: 4.10, 95% confidence interval: 1.39-12.06, P=0.01). In conclusion, FRα expression was higher in patients with cervical cancer and PD-L1 CPS <10 than in those with CPS ≥10. Targeting FRα expression may be a potential therapeutic strategy for cervical cancer patients with low or negative PD-L1 expression.

Phase 1b study of mirvetuximab soravtansine, a folate receptor alpha (FRα)-targeting antibody-drug conjugate, in combination with carboplatin and bevacizumab in patients with platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer. Gynecol Oncol 2024; 185:186-193. [PMID: 38447347 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2024.01.045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluate the antitumor activity and safety profile of the triplet combination of mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV), carboplatin, and bevacizumab in recurrent, platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer. METHODS Participants with recurrent, platinum-sensitive epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer (1-2 prior lines of therapy) received MIRV (6 mg/kg adjusted ideal body weight), carboplatin (AUC5), and bevacizumab (15 mg/kg) once every 3 weeks. Carboplatin could be discontinued after 6 cycles per investigator discretion; continuation of MIRV+bevacizumab as maintenance therapy was permitted. Eligibility included folate receptor alpha (FRα) expression by immunohistochemistry (≥50% of cells with ≥2+ intensity; PS2+ scoring); prior bevacizumab was allowed. Tumor response, duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and adverse events (AEs) were assessed. RESULTS Forty-one participants received triplet therapy, with a median of 6, 12, and 13 cycles of carboplatin, MIRV, and bevacizumab, respectively. The confirmed objective response rate was 83% (9 complete and 25 partial responses). The median DOR was 10.9 months; median PFS was 13.5 months. AEs (any grade) occurred as expected, based on each agent's safety profile; most common were diarrhea (83%), nausea (76%), fatigue (73%), thrombocytopenia (71%), and blurred vision (68%). Most cases were mild to moderate (grade ≤2), except for thrombocytopenia, for which most drug-related discontinuations occurred, and neutropenia. CONCLUSIONS This triplet regimen (MIRV+carboplatin+bevacizumab) was highly active, with a tolerable AE profile in participants with recurrent, platinum-sensitive, FRα-expressing ovarian cancer. Thrombocytopenia was the primary cause of dose modifications. These outcomes compare favorably to historical data reported for platinum-based chemotherapy plus bevacizumab regimens in similar patient populations.

Abstract
Mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx (MIRV) is a conjugate of a folate receptor alpha (FRα)-directed antibody and the maytansinoid microtubule inhibitor, DM4. Accumulating pre-clinical and clinical data supported the safety and anti-tumor activity of MIRV in tumors expressing FRα. In 2017, a phase I expansion study reported the first experience of MIRV in FRα-positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancer with promising results. However, the phase III FORWARD I study failed to demonstrate a significant benefit of MIRV in FRα-positive tumors. On the basis of the data reported from this latter study, MIRV was then explored in the FRα-high population only and using a different folate receptor assay. The phase II SORAYA trial supported the adoption of MIRV in this setting. Hence, the US Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval of MIRV for patients with FRα-positive platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who have received 1-3 prior systemic treatment regimens. Moreover, the results of the MIRASOL trial showed a significant reduction in the risk of tumor progression or death among patients treated with MIRV versus chemotherapy. VENTANA FOLR1 (FOLR-2.1) was approved as a companion diagnostic test to identify FRα patients. MIRV appears to be a significant asset in managing advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer. Further trials are needed to confirm these promising results, even in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and maintenance settings.

Abstract
While strategies such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy have become the first-line standard therapies for patients with advanced or metastatic cancer, acquired resistance is still inevitable in most cases. The introduction of antibody‒drug conjugates (ADCs) provides a novel alternative. ADCs are a new class of anticancer drugs comprising the coupling of antitumor mAbs with cytotoxic drugs. Compared with chemotherapeutic drugs, ADCs have the advantages of good tolerance, accurate target recognition, and small effects on noncancerous cells. ADCs occupy an increasingly important position in the therapeutic field. Currently, there are 13 Food and Drug Administration (FDA)‒approved ADCs and more than 100 ADC drugs at different stages of clinical trials. This review briefly describes the efficacy and safety of FDA-approved ADCs, and discusses the related problems and challenges to provide a reference for clinical work.

Abstract
Neoplasias pose a significant threat to aging society, underscoring the urgent need to overcome the limitations of traditional chemotherapy through pioneering strategies. Targeted drug delivery is an evolving frontier in cancer therapy, aiming to enhance treatment efficacy while mitigating undesirable side effects. One promising avenue utilizes cell membrane receptors like the folate receptor to guide drug transporters precisely to malignant cells. Based on the cellular folate receptor as a cancer cell hallmark, targeted nanocarriers and small molecule-drug conjugates have been developed that comprise different (bio) chemistries and/or mechanical properties with individual advantages and challenges. Such modern folic acid-conjugated stimuli-responsive drug transporters provide systemic drug delivery and controlled release, enabling reduced dosages, circumvention of drug resistance, and diminished adverse effects. Since the drug transporters' structure-based de novo design is increasingly relevant for precision cancer remediation and diagnosis, this review seeks to collect and debate the recent approaches to deliver therapeutics or diagnostics based on folic acid conjugated Trojan Horses and to facilitate the understanding of the relevant chemistry and biochemical pathways. Focusing exemplarily on brain and breast cancer, recent advances spanning 2017 to 2023 in conjugated nanocarriers and small molecule drug conjugates were considered, evaluating the chemical and biological aspects in order to improve accessibility to the field and to bridge chemical and biomedical points of view ultimately guiding future research in FR-targeted cancer therapy and diagnosis.

Population pharmacokinetics of mirvetuximab soravtansine in patients with folate receptor-α positive ovarian cancer: The antibody-drug conjugate, payload and metabolite. Br J Clin Pharmacol 2024; 90:568-581. [PMID: 37872122 DOI: 10.1111/bcp.15937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 10/25/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS Mirvetuximab soravtansine is a first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate recently approved for the treatment of folate receptor-α positive ovarian cancer. The aim of this study was to develop a population pharmacokinetic model to describe the concentration-time profiles of mirvetuximab soravtansine, the payload (DM4) and a metabolite (S-methyl-DM4). METHODS Mirvetuximab soravtansine was administered intravenously from 0.15 to 7 mg/kg to 543 patients with predominantly platinum-resistant ovarian cancer in 3 clinical studies, and the plasma drug concentrations were analysed using a nonlinear mixed-effects modelling approach. Stepwise covariate modelling was performed to identify covariates. RESULTS We developed a semi-mechanistic population pharmacokinetic model that included linear and nonlinear routes for the elimination of mirvetuximab soravtansine and a target compartment for the formation and disposition of the payload and metabolite in tumour cells. The clearance and volume of the central compartment were 0.0153 L/h and 2.63 L for mirvetuximab soravtansine, 8.83 L/h and 3.67 L for DM4, and 2.04 L/h and 6.3 L for S-methyl-DM4, respectively. Body weight, serum albumin and age were identified as statistically significant covariates. Exposures in patients with renal or hepatic impairment and who used concomitant cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 inhibitors were estimated. CONCLUSION There is no need for dose adjustment due to covariate effects for mirvetuximab soravtansine administered at the recommended dose of 6 mg/kg based on adjusted ideal body weight. Dose adjustment is not required for patients with mild or moderate renal impairment, mild hepatic impairment, or when concomitant weak and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors are used.

Crit Rev Oncol Hematol 2024; 194:104230. [PMID: 38122916 DOI: 10.1016/j.critrevonc.2023.104230] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mirvetuximab soravtansine in treating recurrent ovarian cancer with folate receptor alpha (FRa) expression. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted on online databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE, to identify relevant literature about the efficacy and safety of mirvetuximab soravtansine in recurrent ovarian cancer with FRa-positive expression. The keywords were the following: recurrent ovarian cancer, mirvetuximab soravtansine, FRa, and antibody-drug conjugate. Furthermore, studies that satisfied the necessary qualifications were carefully evaluated for further meta-analysis. RESULTS This meta-analysis involved the examination of seven trials with a total of 631 patients. According to the pooled data, the objective response rate (ORR) was 36% (95%CI: 27%-45%). Similarly, the disease control rate (DCR) was 88% (95% CI: 84-91%). Furthermore, the median progression-free survival (PFS) was determined to be 6.1 months (95% CI: 4.27-7.47). The overall response rate and PFS for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer were found to be 29% (95% CI: 25-32%) and 6.26 months (95% CI: 4.67-7.85), respectively. The most often observed adverse events (AEs) in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer (OC) receiving mirvetuximab soravtansine were blurred vision (all grades: 45%, Grade III: 2%), nausea (all grades: 42%, Grade III: 1%), and diarrhea (all grades: 42%, Grade III: 2%). These AEs were specifically associated with the safety profile of mirvetuximab soravtansine in this patient population. CONCLUSION The efficacy of mirvetuximab soravtansine in treating recurrent ovarian cancer with FRa-positive expression is satisfactory, and the safety is tolerable.

Ther Adv Urol 2024; 16:17562872241249073. [PMID: 38779496 PMCID: PMC11110528 DOI: 10.1177/17562872241249073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates and bicycle toxin conjugates represent a tremendous advance in drug delivery technology and have shown great promise in the treatment of urothelial cancer. Previously approved systemic therapies, including chemotherapy and immunotherapy, are often impractical due to comorbidities, and outcomes for patients with advanced disease remain poor, even when receiving systemic therapy. In this setting, antibody-drug and bicycle toxin conjugates have emerged as novel treatments, dramatically altering the therapeutic landscape. These drugs harness unique designs consisting of antibody or bicycle peptide, linker, and cytotoxic payload with more targeted delivery than conventional chemotherapy, thus eliminating malignant cells while reducing systemic toxicities. Potential targets investigated in urothelial cancer include Nectin-4, TROP2, HER2, and EphA2. Initial clinical trials demonstrated efficacy in treatment of refractory advanced urothelial cancer, as well as improvement in quality of life. These initial studies led to FDA approval of two antibody-drug conjugates, enfortumab vedotin and sacituzumab govitecan. Moreover, antibody-drug and bicycle toxin conjugates are being studied in ongoing clinical trials in frontline treatment of advanced disease as well as for localized cancer. These studies highlight the potential for additional future therapies with novel targets, novel antibodies, cytotoxic and immunomodulatory payloads, and unique structural designs enhancing efficacy and safety. There is increasing evidence that combinations with other cancer therapies, especially immunotherapy, improve treatment outcomes. The combination of enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab was recently approved for first-line treatment of advanced urothelial carcinoma. Despite the great promise of these novel drugs, robust predictive biomarkers are needed to determine the patients who would maximally benefit. This review surveys the rationale and current state of the evidence for these new drugs and describes future directions actively being explored.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx (MIRV), a first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate targeting folate receptor α (FRα), is approved for the treatment of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer in the United States. METHODS We conducted a phase 3, global, confirmatory, open-label, randomized, controlled trial to compare the efficacy and safety of MIRV with the investigator's choice of chemotherapy in the treatment of platinum-resistant, high-grade serous ovarian cancer. Participants who had previously received one to three lines of therapy and had high FRα tumor expression (≥75% of cells with ≥2+ staining intensity) were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive MIRV (6 mg per kilogram of adjusted ideal body weight every 3 weeks) or chemotherapy (paclitaxel, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, or topotecan). The primary end point was investigator-assessed progression-free survival; key secondary analytic end points included objective response, overall survival, and participant-reported outcomes. RESULTS A total of 453 participants underwent randomization; 227 were assigned to the MIRV group and 226 to the chemotherapy group. The median progression-free survival was 5.62 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.34 to 5.95) with MIRV and 3.98 months (95% CI, 2.86 to 4.47) with chemotherapy (P<0.001). An objective response occurred in 42.3% of the participants in the MIRV group and in 15.9% of those in the chemotherapy group (odds ratio, 3.81; 95% CI, 2.44 to 5.94; P<0.001). Overall survival was significantly longer with MIRV than with chemotherapy (median, 16.46 months vs. 12.75 months; hazard ratio for death, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.50 to 0.89; P = 0.005). During the treatment period, fewer adverse events of grade 3 or higher occurred with MIRV than with chemotherapy (41.7% vs. 54.1%), as did serious adverse events of any grade (23.9% vs. 32.9%) and events leading to discontinuation (9.2% vs. 15.9%). CONCLUSIONS Among participants with platinum-resistant, FRα-positive ovarian cancer, treatment with MIRV showed a significant benefit over chemotherapy with respect to progression-free and overall survival and objective response.

Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a growing class of chemotherapeutic agents for the purpose of treating cancers that often have relapsed or failed first- and second-line treatments. ADCs are composed of extremely potent cytotoxins with a variety of side effects, one of the most significant being ocular toxicity. The available literature describes these toxicities as varying in severity and in incidence, although with disparate methods of evaluation and management. Some of the most common toxicities include microcyst-like epithelial keratopathy and dry eye. We discuss proposed mechanisms of ocular toxicity and describe the reports that mention these toxicities. We focus on ADCs with the most published literature and the most significant effects on ocular tissue. We propose areas for further investigation and possible ideas of future management. We provide a comprehensive look at the reports of ADCs in current literature to better inform clinicians on an expanding drug class.

Abstract
Demonstrating biosimilarity entails comprehensive analytical assessment, clinical pharmacology profiling, and efficacy testing in patients for at least one medical indication, as required by the U.S. Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (BPCIA). The efficacy testing can be waived if the drug has known pharmacodynamic (PD) markers, leaving most therapeutic proteins out of this concession. To overcome this, the FDA suggests that biosimilar developers discover PD biomarkers using omics technologies such as proteomics, glycomics, transcriptomics, genomics, epigenomics, and metabolomics. This approach is redundant since the mode-action-action biomarkers of approved therapeutic proteins are already available, as compiled in this paper for the first time. Other potential biomarkers are receptor binding and pharmacokinetic profiling, which can be made more relevant to ensure biosimilarity without requiring biosimilar developers to conduct extensive research, for which they are rarely qualified.

Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates consist of a monoclonal antibody attached to a cytotoxic therapeutic molecule by a connector. This association allows a highly specific therapy, which increases their effectiveness and decreases their potential toxicity. This new therapy emerged approximately 20 years ago; since then, numerous combinations have appeared in the field of treatment-related neoplasms as an alternative for patients who do not achieve good results with conventional treatment options. Adverse effects of these drugs on the ocular surface are frequent and varied. Their prevalence ranges from 20 to 90% depending on the drug and administration condition, probably due to multiple receptor-mediated factors or mechanisms not mediated by specific receptors, such as macropinocytosis. These adverse events can greatly limit patients' comfort; thus, the objectives of this article were, in the first place, to compile the information currently available on different types of adverse effects of antibody-drug conjugates on the ocular surface, including pathophysiology, prevalence, and treatment, and in second place, to contribute to the correct identification and management of these events, which will result in a lower rate of cessation of treatment, which is necessary for the survival of candidate patients.

Abstract
The definition of "platinum-resistant ovarian cancer" has evolved; it now also reflects cancers for which platinum treatment is no longer an option. Standard of care for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer is single-agent, non-platinum chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab, which produces modest response rates, with the greatest benefits achieved using weekly paclitaxel. Several recent phase 3 trials of pretreated patients with prior bevacizumab exposure failed to meet their primary efficacy endpoints, highlighting the challenge in improving clinical outcomes among these patients. Combination treatment with antiangiogenics has improved outcomes, whereas combination strategies with immune checkpoint inhibitors have yielded modest results. Despite extensive translational research, there has been a lack of reliable and established biomarkers that predict treatment response in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Additionally, in the platinum-resistant setting, implications for the time between the penultimate dose of platinum therapy and platinum retreatment remain an area of debate. Addressing the unmet need for an effective treatment in the platinum-resistant setting requires thoughtful clinical trial design based on a growing understanding of the disease. Recent cancer drug approvals highlight the value of incorporating molecular phenotypes to better define patients who are more likely to respond to novel therapies. Clinical trials designed per the Gynecologic Cancer InterGroup recommendations-which advocate against relying solely upon the platinum-free interval-will help advance our understanding of recurrent ovarian cancer response where platinum rechallenge in the platinum-resistant setting may be considered. The inclusion of biomarkers in clinical trials will improve patient stratification and potentially demonstrate correlations with biomarker expression and duration of response. With the efficacy of antibody-drug conjugates shown for the treatment of some solid and hematologic cancers, current trials are evaluating the use of various novel conjugates in the setting of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Emerging novel treatments coupled with combination trials and biomarker explorations offer encouraging results for potential strategies to improve response rates and prolong progression-free survival in this population with high unmet need. This review outlines existing data from contemporary clinical trials of patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and suggests historical synthetic benchmarks for non-randomized trials.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the deadliest gynecological cancer, and presents a major clinical challenge due to limited treatment options. Folate receptor alpha (FRα), encoded by the FOLR1 gene, is an attractive therapeutically target due to its prevalent and high expression in EOC cells. Recent basic and translational studies have explored several modalities, such as antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), monoclonal antibodies, small molecules, and folate-drug conjugate, to exploit FRα for EOC treatment. In this review, we summarize the function of FRα, and clinical efficacies of various FRα-based therapeutics. We highlight mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV), or Elahere (ImmunoGen), the first FRα-targeting ADC approved by the FDA to treat platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. We discuss potential mechanisms and management of ocular adverse events associated with MIRV administration.

Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are at the forefront of the drug development revolution occurring in oncology. Formed from three main components-an antibody, a linker molecule, and a cytotoxic agent ("payload"), ADCs have the unique ability to deliver cytotoxic agents to cells expressing a specific antigen, a great leap forward from traditional chemotherapeutic approaches that cause widespread effects without specificity. A variety of payloads can be used, including most frequently microtubular inhibitors (auristatins and maytansinoids), as well as topoisomerase inhibitors and alkylating agents. Finally, linkers play a critical role in the ADCs' effect, as cleavable moieties that serve as linkers impact site-specific activation as well as bystander killing effects, an upshot that is especially important in solid tumors that often express a variety of antigens. While ADCs were initially used in hematologic malignancies, their utility has been demonstrated in multiple solid tumor malignancies, including breast, gastrointestinal, lung, cervical, ovarian, and urothelial cancers. Currently, six ADCs are FDA-approved for the treatment of solid tumors: ado-trastuzumab emtansine and trastuzumab deruxtecan, both anti-HER2; enfortumab-vedotin, targeting nectin-4; sacituzuzmab govitecan, targeting Trop2; tisotumab vedotin, targeting tissue factor; and mirvetuximab soravtansine, targeting folate receptor-alpha. Although they demonstrate utility and tolerable safety profiles, ADCs may become ineffective as tumor cells undergo evolution to avoid expressing the specific antigen being targeted. Furthermore, the current cost of ADCs can be limiting their reach. Here, we review the structure and functions of ADCs, as well as ongoing clinical investigations into novel ADCs and their potential as treatments of solid malignancies.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the second leading cause of death from gynecologic malignancies worldwide. Management of platinum-resistant disease is challenging and clinical outcomes with standard chemotherapy are poor. Over the past decades, significant efforts have been made to understand drug resistance and develop strategies to overcome treatment failure. Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are a rapidly growing class of oncologic therapeutics, which combine the ability to target tumor-specific antigens with the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy. Mirvetuximab soravtansine is an ADC comprising an IgG1 monoclonal antibody against the folate receptor alpha (FRα) conjugated to the cytotoxic maytansinoid effector molecule DM4 that has shown promising clinical activity in patients with FR-α-positive ovarian cancer. This review summarizes current evidence of mirvetuximab soravtansine in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, focusing on clinical activity, toxicity, and future directions.

Abstract
All antibodies approved for cancer therapy are monoclonal IgGs but the biology of IgE, supported by comparative preclinical data, offers the potential for enhanced effector cell potency. Here we report a Phase I dose escalation trial (NCT02546921) with the primary objective of exploring the safety and tolerability of MOv18 IgE, a chimeric first-in-class IgE antibody, in patients with tumours expressing the relevant antigen, folate receptor-alpha. The trial incorporated skin prick and basophil activation tests (BAT) to select patients at lowest risk of allergic toxicity. Secondary objectives were exploration of anti-tumour activity, recommended Phase II dose, and pharmacokinetics. Dose escalation ranged from 70 μg-12 mg. The most common toxicity of MOv18 IgE is transient urticaria. A single patient experienced anaphylaxis, likely explained by detection of circulating basophils at baseline that could be activated by MOv18 IgE. The BAT assay was used to avoid enrolling further patients with reactive basophils. The safety profile is tolerable and maximum tolerated dose has not been reached, with evidence of anti-tumour activity observed in a patient with ovarian cancer. These results demonstrate the potential of IgE therapy for cancer.

Abstract
Targeting folate receptors is a potential solution to low tumor selectivity concerning conventional chemotherapeutics. Apart from antibody-drug conjugates, folate-functionalized nanoparticle drug delivery systems are interesting to be explored due to many advantages, yet currently, none seems to enter the clinical trials. Multiple in vitro evidence is available to support its efficacy compared to the non-targeting carrier and free drug formulation. Additionally, several studies pointed out factors affecting its effectiveness, including surface properties and endosomal trapping. However, in vivo biodistribution studies revealed issues that may arise from folate receptor targeting, including rapid liver uptake, subsequently reducing the nanoparticles' tumor uptake. This issue may be due to the folate receptor β expressed by the activated macrophages in the liver; route of administration and tumor location might also influence the targeting effectiveness. Moreover, it is perplexing to generalize nanoparticles reported from various publications, primarily due to the different formulations, lack of characterization, and experimental settings, making it harder to determine the accurate factor influencing targeting effectiveness.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The development of molecularly targeted anticancer therapies and immunotherapy continues to revolutionize the treatment of cancer. FDA accelerated approvals of novel targeted therapies allowed for introduction of these agents into the clinic at a rapid rate. On-and off-target ocular toxicities are prevalent treatment-related adverse events of newer therapies including antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) and immunotherapy. Ocular toxicities associated with ADCs and immunotherapy have heterogeneous presentations and pathogenesis requiring unique and often complex monitoring, and management. AREAS COVERED In this article, we provide an updated review of treatment-emergent ocular toxicity associated with new and novel oncologic therapies and summarize guidelines and best practice strategies for prevention, monitoring and management. A literature search was performed through PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, and FDA website (1 January 2017 to 10 May 2023) to identify relevant information. EXPERT OPINION The implementation of a strategy for monitoring, prevention, and management of treatment-related ocular toxicities involves a multi-disciplinary, often cross-center approach. Communication with infusion nursing leadership, clinic staff, and eye care providers is crucial to the successful implementation of eye care plans to prevent and manage ocular toxicity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mirvetuximab soravtansine (mirvetuximab) is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC) comprised of a humanized folate receptor alpha (FRα)-binding monoclonal antibody attached via a cleavable linker to the cytotoxic maytansinoid molecule, DM4. FRα is expressed in several epithelial cancers, including high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). Mirvetuximab received accelerated approval by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in November 2022 based on the results of the SORAYA trial, which tested mirvetuximab for the treatment of patients with recurrent platinum resistant HGSOC with high FRα expression and showed an overall response rate (ORR) of 32.4% and a median duration of response of 6.9 months. Mirvetuximab toxicities included low grade ocular and gastrointestinal toxicities. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) ovarian cancer 2023 guidelines adopted mirvetuximab as 2A, and mirvetuximab combined with bevacizumab as 2B, recommendations. AREAS COVERED This manuscript will review the preclinical and clinical development of mirvetuximab, the toxicities associated with mirvetuximab and mitigation strategies, and future applications of mirvetuximab. EXPERT OPINION Mirvetuximab represents the first biomarker-directed therapy with an indication specifically for the treatment of PROC. The efficacy and favorable safety profile support further development of mirvetuximab and mirvetuximab combinations in platinum sensitive and newly diagnosed ovarian cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This meta-analysis aims to systematically analyze the efficacy and toxicity of mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV) as second-line and above treatment for advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer. METHODS Candidate studies were identified in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wanfang databases up to 1 May 2023. Objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), the incidence of adverse events (AEs), and incidence of grade ≥ 3 AEs were extracted and calculated by meta-analysis of merging ratios or mean to describe the efficacy and toxicity of MIRV. RESULTS Seven eligible prospective studies were included in this meta-analysis, including 605 patients with advanced ovarian cancer who received second-line or higher therapy. ORR of MIRV was 34.2% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.0-43.5), and PFS was 5.82 months (95%CI 4.47-7.18). The overall incidence of AEs was 87.4% (95%CI 52.9-100.0) and the incidence of grade ≥ 3 AEs was 27.1% (95%CI 18.9-36.1). The most common AEs were vision blurring, nausea, and diarrhea, with incidence of 46.7% (39.6-53.8), 41.8% (34.0-49.9), and 41.3% (30.4-52.5), respectively. CONCLUSIONS MIRV has definite efficacy and good safety as a novel choice for second-line and above treatment of advanced or recurrent FRα positive ovarian cancer. This may have promising application in patients with platinum-resistant diseases. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42023428599.

Abstract
Background In the last decades, growing attention has been focused on identifying effective therapeutic strategies in the orphan clinical setting of women with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC), generating thousands of original articles. However, the literature involving bibliometric analysis of PROC has not been published yet. Objective This study hopes to gain a better understanding of the hot spots and trends in PROC by conducting a bibliometric analysis, as well as identify potential new research directions. Methods We searched the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) for PROC-related articles published between 1990 and 2022. CiteSpace 6.1.R2 and VOS viewer 1.6.18.0 were primarily utilized to evaluate the contribution and co-occurrence relationships of various countries and regions, institutes, and journals and to identify research hotspots and promising future trends in this research field. Results A total of 3,462 Web of Science publications were retrieved that were published in 671 academic journals by 1135 authors from 844 organizations in 75 countries and regions. The United States was the leading contributor in this field, and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center was the most productive institution. Gynecologic Oncology was the most productive journal, while the Journal of Clinical Oncology was the most cited and influential. Co-citation cluster labels revealed the characteristics of seven major clusters, including synthetic lethality, salvage treatment, human ovarian-carcinoma cell line, PARP inhibitor resistance, antitumor complexes, folate receptor, and targeting platinum-resistant disease. Keywords and references burst detection indicated that biomarkers, genetic and phenotypic changes, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy were the most recent and most significant aspects of PROC research. Conclusion This study conducted a comprehensive review of PROC research using bibliometric and visual techniques. Understanding the immunological landscape of PROC and identifying the population that can benefit from immunotherapy, especially in combination with other therapeutic options (such as chemotherapy and targeted therapy), will continue to be the focal point of research.

Abstract
Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs) are a novel class of therapeutic that structurally comprise an antibody directed at a tumor epitope connected via a linker to a cytotoxic payload that have shown significant antitumor activity across a range of malignancies including lung cancer. In this article we review the pharmacology of ADCs, describe results of trials with ADCs directed at targets in lung cancer including Trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2(TROP2), HER3, MET, Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecular 5(CECAM-5) and HER2. Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (also known as DS-8201a or T-DXd) an ADC directed at HER2 recently became the first ADC to receive FDA approval in lung cancer, on the basis of its activity in tumors with HER2 mutations, demonstrated in the Destiny-Lung01 and Lung02 trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE Evaluate the antitumor activity and safety profile of the combination of mirvetuximab soravtansine and bevacizumab in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. METHODS Patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, whose most recent platinum-free interval was ≤6 months, were administered mirvetuximab soravtansine (6 mg/kg adjusted ideal body weight) and bevacizumab (15 mg/kg), intravenously, once every 3 weeks. Eligibility included FRα expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC; ≥25% of cells with ≥2+ intensity). Prior bevacizumab and/or PARP inhibitor (PARPi) treatment were permitted. The primary endpoint was confirmed objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and safety. RESULTS Ninety-four patients received combination treatment with mirvetuximab soravtansine and bevacizumab. Median age was 62 years (range, 39-81). Fifty-two percent had ≥3 prior therapies; 59% had prior bevacizumab; and 27% had prior PARPi. ORR was 44% (95% CI 33, 54) with 5 complete responses, median DOR 9.7 months (95% CI 6.9, 14.1), and median PFS 8.2 months (95% CI 6.8, 10.0). Treatment-related adverse events were consistent with the profiles of each agent, with the most common being blurred vision (all grades 57%; grade 3, 1%), diarrhea (54%; grade 3, 1%), and nausea (51%; grade 3, 1%). CONCLUSION The mirvetuximab soravtansine plus bevacizumab doublet is an active and well-tolerated regimen in patients with FRα-expressing platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Promising activity was observed for patients regardless of level of FRα expression or prior bevacizumab. These data underscore the potential for mirvetuximab soravtansine as the combination partner of choice for bevacizumab in this setting.

Abstract
Folate is a B vitamin necessary for basic biological functions, including rapid cell turnover occurring in cancer cell proliferation. Though the role of folate as a causative versus protective agent in carcinogenesis is debated, several studies have indicated that the folate receptor (FR), notably subtype folate receptor alpha (FRα), could be a viable biomarker for diagnosis, progression, and prognosis. Several cancers, including gastrointestinal, gynecological, breast, lung, and squamous cell head and neck cancers overexpress FR and are currently under investigation to correlate receptor status to disease state. Traditional chemotherapies have included antifolate medications, such as methotrexate and pemetrexed, which generate anticancer activity during the synthesis phase of the cell cycle. Increasingly, the repertoire of pharmacotherapies is expanding to include FR as a target, with a heterogenous pool of directed therapies. Here we discuss the FR, expression and effect in cancer biology, and relevant pharmacologic inhibitors.

Abstract
Mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV) is a first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting folate receptor alpha (FRα) and is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with FRα-positive, platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who have received 1 to 3 prior systemic treatment regimens. MIRV has demonstrated single-agent anticancer activity in clinical trials, with a differentiated safety profile comprising primarily low-grade, resolvable gastrointestinal and ocular adverse events (AEs). Pooled safety analysis of 464 MIRV-treated patients across 3 trials, including the phase 2 SORAYA study, found that 50% of patients had ≥1 ocular AEs of interest (AEIs) of blurred vision or keratopathy, the majority being grade ≤2. Grade 3 ocular AEIs occurred in 5% of patients, and 1 patient (0.2%) had a grade 4 event of keratopathy. All grade ≥2 AEIs of blurred vision and keratopathy resolved to grade 1 or 0 in patients with complete follow-up data. MIRV-associated ocular AEs were primarily characterized by resolvable changes to the corneal epithelium, with no cases of corneal ulcers or perforations. This reflects the distinctive, milder ocular safety profile for MIRV compared with that of other ADCs with ocular toxicities in clinical use. To maintain a generally low incidence of severe ocular AEs, patients should follow recommendations for maintaining ocular surface health, including daily use of lubricating eye drops and periodic use of corticosteroid eye drops, and should undergo an eye examination at baseline, at every other cycle for the first 8 cycles of treatment, and as clinically indicated. Dose modification guidelines should be followed to maximize patients' ability to remain on therapy. Close collaboration between all care team members, including oncologists and eye care professionals, will help patients benefit from this novel and promising anticancer agent. This review focuses on the etiology, rates, prevention, and management of MIRV-associated ocular events.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a new class of drugs that combine a surface receptor-targeting antibody linked to a cytotoxic molecule delivering the potent cytotoxic payload directly to tumor cells. This review summarizes the current literature demonstrating their use in the treatment of gynecologic malignancies. RECENT FINDINGS Tisotumab vedotin is the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved ADC for the treatment of gynecologic cancers. While in the phase 3 randomized controlled trial in platinum resistant ovarian cancer patients, FORWARD 1, mirvetuximab did not meet its primary endpoint of progression-free survival. But we await more recent data from the two ongoing phase 3 trials of mirvetuximab in recurrent ovarian cancer patients. HER2/neu, Napi2b, mesothelin, and human trophoblast cell-surface marker (Trop-2) overexpression have also been exploited as excellent targets by novel ADCs in multiple tumors including ovarian, endometrial, and cervical cancers. SUMMARY Current evidence strongly supports the use of ADCs and ongoing clinical trials will provide further information into the potential of making these drugs part of current standard practice allowing patients to be treated with a higher level of personalized cancer care.

Abstract
PURPOSE Single-agent chemotherapies have limited activity and considerable toxicity in patients with platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer (PROC). Mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV) is an antibody-drug conjugate targeting folate receptor α (FRα). SORAYA is a single-arm, phase II study evaluating efficacy and safety of MIRV in patients with PROC. METHODS SORAYA enrolled FRα-high patients with PROC who had received one to three prior therapies, including required bevacizumab. The primary end point was confirmed objective response rate (ORR) by investigator; duration of response was the key secondary end point. RESULTS One hundred six patients were enrolled; 105 were evaluable for efficacy. All patients had received prior bevacizumab, 51% had three prior lines of therapy, and 48% received a prior poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitor. Median follow-up was 13.4 months. ORR was 32.4% (95% CI, 23.6 to 42.2), including five complete and 29 partial responses. The median duration of response was 6.9 months (95% CI, 5.6 to 9.7). In patients with one to two priors, the ORR by investigator was 35.3% (95% CI, 22.4 to 49.9) and in patients with three priors was 30.2% (95% CI, 18.3 to 44.3). The ORR by investigator was 38.0% (95% CI, 24.7 to 52.8) in patients with prior poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitor exposure and 27.5% (95% CI, 15.9 to 41.7) in those without. The most common treatment-related adverse events (all grade and grade 3-4) were blurred vision (41% and 6%), keratopathy (29% and 9%), and nausea (29% and 0%). Treatment-related adverse events led to dose delays, reductions, and discontinuations in 33%, 20%, and 9% of patients, respectively. CONCLUSION MIRV demonstrated consistent clinically meaningful antitumor activity and favorable tolerability and safety in patients with FRα-high PROC who had received up to three prior therapies, including bevacizumab, representing an important advance for this biomarker-selected population.

Abstract
Novel biomarkers are needed to direct new treatments for ovarian cancer, a disease for which the standard of care remains heavily focused on platinum-based chemotherapy. Despite the success of PARP inhibitors, treatment options are limited, particularly in the platinum-resistant setting. NaPi2b is a cell surface sodium-dependent phosphate transporter that regulates phosphate homeostasis under normal physiological conditions and is a lineage marker that is expressed in select cancers, including ovarian, lung, thyroid, and breast cancers, with limited expression in normal tissues. Based on its increased expression in ovarian tumors, NaPi2b is a promising candidate to be studied as a biomarker for treatment and patient selection in ovarian cancer. In preclinical studies, the use of antibodies against NaPi2b showed that this protein can be exploited for tumor mapping and therapeutic targeting. Emerging data from phase 1 and 2 clinical trials in ovarian cancer have suggested that NaPi2b can be successfully detected in patient biopsy samples using immunohistochemistry, and the NaPi2b-targeting antibody-drug conjugate under evaluation appeared to elicit therapeutic responses. The aim of this review is to examine literature supporting NaPi2b as a novel biomarker for potential treatment and patient selection in ovarian cancer and to discuss the critical next steps and future analyses necessary to drive the study of this biomarker and therapeutic targeting forward.

Abstract
To address the key challenges in the development of next-generation drug delivery systems (DDS) with desired physicochemical properties to overcome limitations regarding safety, in vivo efficacy, and solid tumor penetration, an ultrasmall folate receptor alpha (FRα) targeted silica nanoparticle (C'Dot) drug conjugate (CDC; or folic acid CDC) was developed. A broad array of methods was employed to screen a panel of CDCs and identify a lead folic acid CDC for clinical development. These included comparing the performance against antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in three-dimensional tumor spheroid penetration ability, assessing in vitro/ex vivo cytotoxic efficacy, as well as in vivo therapeutic outcome in multiple cell-line-derived and patient-derived xenograft models. An ultrasmall folic acid CDC, EC112002, was identified as the lead candidate out of >500 folic acid CDC formulations evaluated. Systematic studies demonstrated that the lead formulation, EC112002, exhibited highly specific FRα targeting, multivalent binding properties that would mediate the ability to outcompete endogenous folate in vivo, enzymatic responsive payload cleavage, stability in human plasma, rapid in vivo clearance, and minimal normal organ retention organ distribution in non-tumor-bearing mice. When compared with an anti-FRα-DM4 ADC, EC112002 demonstrated deeper penetration into 3D cell-line-derived tumor spheroids and superior specific cytotoxicity in a panel of 3D patient-derived tumor spheroids, as well as enhanced efficacy in cell-line-derived and patient-derived in vivo tumor xenograft models expressing a range of low to high levels of FRα. With the growing interest in developing clinically translatable, safe, and efficacious DDSs, EC112002 has the potential to address some of the critical limitations of the current systemic drug delivery for cancer management.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a prevalent carcinoma in the female population associated with poor prognostic outcomes, in part due to the late stage of the disease at diagnosis. Aiming to identify tumour-associated antigens (TAAs) with the potential to facilitate earlier detection and targeted therapy of EOC, five scientific literature repositories were systemically searched for primary literature sources reporting the expression of a TAA in the tissue or serum of adult females diagnosed with EOC and healthy women. We identified 7120 articles of which 32 met our inclusion criteria and passed the bias-quality assessment. Subsequently, data were collated on 29 TAAs whose expression had been analysed in 2181 patients and 589 healthy individuals. Reports of CA125 and EpCAM expression were numerous while tissue expression data were available for 28 TAAs. Data were segregated into three meta-cohorts for statistical scrutiny and their capacity for diagnostic and treatment targeting was assessed. We showed that CA-125 was expressed homogenously in EOC patients while EpCAM was expressed heterogeneously. CA-125 was the most promising TAA target for both diagnosis and treatment, gaining a priority score of 12 (/12) while EpCAM gained a priority score of seven. Tissue expression of EOC TAAs was homogenous; 90% of the EOC population express any identified TAA while just 20% of healthy individuals will be positive for the same TAA. We suggest TAA profiling should be a fundamental aspect of EOC diagnosis, sitting alongside the FIGO framework, promoting reduced mortality and directing the development of TAA-targeted therapeutics.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have made significant progress in the treatment of various cancers. However, due to the low ICI responsive rate for the gynecologic cancer, ICI two-drug combination therapy tends to be a predominant way for clinical treatment. Antibody-drug conjugates, a promising therapeutic modality for cancer, have been approved by the FDA for breast cancer, lymphoma, multiple myeloma and gastric cancer. On September 2021, the FDA granted accelerated approval to tisotumab vedotin for patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer. Currently, the role of therapy of ADCs on gynecologic tumors was also included in medication regimens. Now more than 30 ADCs targeting for 20 biomarkers are under clinical trials in the field, including monotherapy or combination with others for multiple lines of therapy. Some ADCs have been proved to enhance the antitumor immunity effect on both pre-clinical models and clinical trials. Therefore, combination of ADCs and ICIs are expected in clinical trials. In this review, we discuss current development of ADCs in gynecologic oncology and the combination effects of ICIs and ADCs.

Abstract
Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs) entered clinical trials in the mid 1990s to selectively deliver cytotoxic chemotherapy to cancer cells with the goal to increase the antitumor activity and decrease normal tissue toxicity. Over nearly 30 years of development the ADC platform has become established with now 11 approved agents and many more in the pipeline. This review is designed to highlight some of the problems and solutions encountered in clinical development as well as provide practical instruction to both clinical investigators on the efficient protocol design for ADCs and the lessons learned.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Fallopian tube carcinoma (FC) as a single entity is a rare disease. Although its diagnosis is increasing thanks to the widespread use of prophylactic salpingectomy, there are no clinical trials exclusively designed for FC. AREAS COVERED This review aims at identifying the most promising trials and future therapeutic pathways in the setting of FC. EXPERT OPINION Hot topics in FC treatment include the consequences of using PARP inhibitors (PARPi) as first-line therapy, ways to overcome platinum resistance, and the role of immunotherapy. Patient selection is a key point for future development of target therapies. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is one of the most investigated technologies both for drug discovery and identification of reverse mutations, involved in resistance to PARPi and platinum. New, promising molecular targets are emerging. Notwithstanding the disappointing outcomes when used by itself, immunotherapy in FC treatment could still have a role in combination with other agents, exploiting synergistic effects at the molecular level. The development of cancer vaccines is currently hampered by the high variability of tumor neoantigens in FC. Genomic profiling could be a solution, allowing the synthesis of individualized vaccines.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer comprises 85% of the global lung cancer cases. Conventional chemotherapeutics possess certain limitations like systemic toxicity and drug resistance that requires the development of new therapeutic agents for successful treatment of lung cancer. Actinonin, a human peptide deformylase inhibitor, has demonstrated anti-cancerous properties in various leukemias and solid cancer types. However, it has limited therapeutic application because of its low bioavailability and systemic toxicity if administered in free form. This limitation can be overcome by using nano-delivery systems that will increase the therapeutic efficacy of actinonin. In the present study, human serum albumin actinonin nanoparticles were prepared using a desolvation technique and folic acid was conjugated to lysine residues of albumin for effective delivery to the lung. The lung adenocarcinoma model was established 24 weeks after intraperitoneal administration of urethane and chemotherapeutic efficacy of free as well as nanoencapsulated actinonin was evaluated. This study demonstrated anti-proliferative potential of folic acid conjugated human serum albumin nanoparticles encapsulating actinonin. The intraperitoneally administered nanoformulation exhibited sustain release profile of actinonin with longer half-life and mean retention time. The reduced dose frequency resulted in therapeutic efficacy comparable to free drug in vivo in terms of 100% survival and reduced tumor burden along with downregulation of epidermal growth factor receptor, folate receptor α and peptide deformylase expression in lung adenocarcinoma mice model. Therefore, actinonin encapsulated albumin nanoparticles-based therapy holds great potential as an alternative strategy to improve its anti-cancerous activity against lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Folate receptor α (FRα) is a membrane protein expressed in various solid tumors but has limited expression in normal cells. Therefore, FRα is an attractive target for cancer treatment. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between FRα expression and the clinicopathological characteristics and survivals of cervical cancer. METHODS This retrospective study included patients with cervical cancer who underwent primary surgery between 2000 and 2020 at our institution. Immunohistochemical staining of FRα was performed using an anti-folate-binding protein/FBP antibody. FRα-positive staining was defined as ≥5% of tumor staining and FRα-high as ≥50% tumor staining with ≥2+ intensity. The association between FRα expression and survival was assessed using multivariate Cox regression analysis, adjusting for established prognostic factors. RESULTS Overall, 123 patients were identified, and 140 tumor samples, including 17 paired primary and metastatic samples, were evaluated. As histological types, 67 patients had squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and 56 patients had non-SCC. All primary tumors were FRα-positive. High FRα expression was observed in 25% of the cases and differed according to histology (SCC vs. non-SCC, 14.9% vs. 37.5%, p=0.004). FRα expression was significantly higher in metastatic tumors than in primary (170 [IQR, 140-205] vs. 125 [IQR, 110-150], p=0.0006). High FRα expression was significantly associated with worse overall survival (hazard ratio, 6.73; 95% confidence interval, 2.21-20.53; p=0.001). CONCLUSION In cervical cancer, FRα expression was elevated in metastatic tumors and high expression was associated with a worse prognosis. Our study supports the development of FRα-targeted therapy for advanced cervical cancer.

A T-cell engaging bispecific antibody with a tumor-selective bivalent folate receptor alpha binding arm for the treatment of ovarian cancer. Oncoimmunology 2022; 11:2113697. [PMID: 36016696 PMCID: PMC9397469 DOI: 10.1080/2162402x.2022.2113697] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2022] [Revised: 07/20/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The use of T-cell engagers (TCEs) to treat solid tumors is challenging, and several have been limited by narrow therapeutic windows due to substantial on-target, off-tumor toxicities due to the expression of low levels of target antigens on healthy tissues. Here, we describe TNB-928B, a fully human TCE that has a bivalent binding arm for folate receptor alpha (FRα) to selectively target FRα overexpressing tumor cells while avoiding the lysis of cells with low levels of FRα expression. The bivalent design of the FRα binding arm confers tumor selectivity due to low-affinity but high-avidity binding to high FRα antigen density cells. TNB-928B induces preferential effector T-cell activation, proliferation, and selective cytotoxic activity on high FRα expressing cells while sparing low FRα expressing cells. In addition, TNB-928B induces minimal cytokine release compared to a positive control TCE containing OKT3. Moreover, TNB-928B exhibits substantial ex vivo tumor cell lysis using endogenous T-cells and robust tumor clearance in vivo, promoting T-cell infiltration and antitumor activity in mouse models of ovarian cancer. TNB-928B exhibits pharmacokinetics similar to conventional antibodies, which are projected to enable favorable administration in humans. TNB-928B is a novel TCE with enhanced safety and specificity for the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Preclinical Evaluation of IMGC936, a Next Generation Maytansinoid-based Antibody-drug Conjugate Targeting ADAM9-expressing Tumors. Mol Cancer Ther 2022; 21:1047-1059. [PMID: 35511740 DOI: 10.1158/1535-7163.mct-21-0915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2021] [Revised: 03/03/2022] [Accepted: 04/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
A disintegrin and metalloprotease (ADAM) 9 is a member of the ADAM family of multifunctional, multidomain type 1 transmembrane proteins. ADAM9 is overexpressed in many cancers, including non-small cell lung, pancreatic, gastric, breast, ovarian, and colorectal cancer, but exhibits limited expression in normal tissues. A target-unbiased discovery platform based on intact tumor and progenitor cell immunizations, followed by an immunohistochemistry screen, led to the identification of anti-ADAM9 antibodies with selective tumor-versus-normal tissue binding. Subsequent analysis revealed anti-ADAM9 antibodies were efficiently internalized and processed by tumor cells making ADAM9 an attractive target for antibody-drug conjugate development. Here, we describe the preclinical evaluation of IMGC936, a novel antibody-drug conjugate targeted against ADAM9. IMGC936 is comprised of a high-affinity humanized antibody site-specifically conjugated to DM21-C, a next-generation linker-payload that combines a maytansinoid microtubule-disrupting payload with a stable tripeptide linker, at a drug antibody ratio of approximately 2.0. Additionally, the YTE mutation (M252Y/S254T/T256E) was introduced into the CH2 domain of the antibody Fc to maximize in vivo plasma half-life and exposure. IMGC936 exhibited cytotoxicity toward ADAM9-positive human tumor cell lines, as well as bystander killing, potent antitumor activity in human cell line-derived xenograft and patient-derived xenograft tumor models, and an acceptable safety profile in cynomolgus monkeys with favorable pharmacokinetic properties. Our preclinical data provide a strong scientific rationale for the further development of IMGC936 as a therapeutic candidate for the treatment of ADAM9-positive cancers. A first-in-human study of IMGC936 in patients with advanced solid tumors has been initiated (NCT04622774).

Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a new class of therapeutic agents designed to target specific antigens on tumor cells, combining the specificity of monoclonal antibodies to the cytotoxicity of classic chemotherapy agents. These drugs have been extensively studied both in solid and hematologic malignancies, leading to substantial improvement in the therapeutic landscape for several tumors. Despite no ADC have been yet approved for the treatment of gynecological malignancies, some agents have shown promising results and might have the potential to become part of the standard of care. Among them, mirvetuximab soravtansine has shown activity in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer with high folate-α receptor expression, as a single agent and in combination. Tisotumab vedotin is active in patients with pre-treated cervical cancer, and further investigation is ongoing. The purpose of this review is to summarize the structural and functional characteristics of ADCs and analyze the most recent and promising data regarding the clinical development of ADCs in gynecological malignancies. The available data on the efficacy of the more studied ADCs in ovarian, endometrial, and cervical cancers will be discussed along with toxicities of special interest, the mechanisms of resistance, and future possible drugs combination.

Abstract
Antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) is typically composed of a monoclonal antibody (mAbs) covalently attached to a cytotoxic drug via a chemical linker. It combines both the advantages of highly specific targeting ability and highly potent killing effect to achieve accurate and efficient elimination of cancer cells, which has become one of the hotspots for the research and development of anticancer drugs. Since the first ADC, Mylotarg® (gemtuzumab ozogamicin), was approved in 2000 by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), there have been 14 ADCs received market approval so far worldwide. Moreover, over 100 ADC candidates have been investigated in clinical stages at present. This kind of new anti-cancer drugs, known as “biological missiles”, is leading a new era of targeted cancer therapy. Herein, we conducted a review of the history and general mechanism of action of ADCs, and then briefly discussed the molecular aspects of key components of ADCs and the mechanisms by which these key factors influence the activities of ADCs. Moreover, we also reviewed the approved ADCs and other promising candidates in phase-3 clinical trials and discuss the current challenges and future perspectives for the development of next generations, which provide insights for the research and development of novel cancer therapeutics using ADCs.

Abstract
Cisplatin is one of the most effective chemotherapy drugs for ovarian cancer, but resistance is common. The initial response to platinum‑based chemotherapy is as high as 80%, but in most advanced patients, final relapse and death are caused by acquired drug resistance. The development of resistance to therapy in ovarian cancer is a significant hindrance to therapeutic efficacy. The resistance of ovarian cancer cells to chemotherapeutic mechanisms is rather complex and includes multidrug resistance, DNA damage repair, cell metabolism, oxidative stress, cell cycle regulation, cancer stem cells, immunity, apoptotic pathways, autophagy and abnormal signaling pathways. The present review provided an update of recent developments in our understanding of the mechanisms of ovarian cancer platinum‑based chemotherapy resistance, discussed current and emerging approaches for targeting these patients and presented challenges associated with these approaches, with a focus on development and overcoming resistance.

Abstract
As one of the major therapeutic options for cancer treatment, chemotherapy has limited selectivity against cancer cells. Consequently, this therapeutic strategy offers a small therapeutic window with potentially high toxicity and thus limited efficacy of doses that can be tolerated by patients. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are an emerging class of anti-cancer therapeutic drugs that can deliver highly cytotoxic molecules directly to cancer cells. To date, twelve ADCs have received market approval, with several others in clinical stages. ADCs have become a powerful class of therapeutic agents in oncology and hematology. ADCs consist of recombinant monoclonal antibodies that are covalently bound to cytotoxic chemicals via synthetic linkers. The linker has a key role in ADC outcomes because its characteristics substantially impact the therapeutic index efficacy and pharmacokinetics of these drugs. Stable linkers and ADCs can maintain antibody concentration in blood circulation, and they do not release the cytotoxic drug before it reaches its target, thus resulting in minimum off-target effects. The linkers used in ADC development can be classified as cleavable and non-cleavable. The former, in turn, can be grouped into three types: hydrazone, disulfide, or peptide linkers. In this review, we highlight the various linkers used in ADC development and their design strategy, release mechanisms, and future perspectives.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies constitute a promising class of targeted anticancer agents that enhance natural immune system functions to suppress cancer cell activity and eliminate cancer cells. The successful application of IgG monoclonal antibodies has inspired the development of various types of therapeutic antibodies, such as antibody fragments, bispecific antibodies, and antibody derivatives (e.g., antibody–drug conjugates and immunocytokines). The miniaturization and multifunctionalization of antibodies are flexible and viable strategies for diagnosing or treating malignant tumors in a complex tumor environment. In this review, we summarize antibodies of various molecular types, antibody applications in cancer therapy, and details of clinical study advances. We also discuss the rationale and mechanism of action of various antibody formats, including antibody–drug conjugates, antibody–oligonucleotide conjugates, bispecific/multispecific antibodies, immunocytokines, antibody fragments, and scaffold proteins. With advances in modern biotechnology, well-designed novel antibodies are finally paving the way for successful treatments of various cancers, including precise tumor immunotherapy, in the clinic.
