Pharmacology/ Pharmacokinetics:
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
1. Mechanism of Action
Mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). The antibody is a chimeric IgG1 directed against folate receptor alpha (FRa).
2. Pharmacodynamics Exposure- Response Relationships An exposure-response relationship between mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx and overall response rates was observed.
Higher incidence of Grade =2 ocular adverse reactions and Grade =2 peripheral neuropathy occurred with increasing mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx exposure.
Cardiac Electrophysiology- At the approved recommended dose, ELAHERE did not cause large mean increases (>10 msec) in the QTc interval.
3. Pharmacokinetics- The pharmacokinetics were characterized after patients were administered mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx 0.161 mg/kg to 8.71 mg/kg adjusted ideal body weight (AIBW) dosages, (0.0268 times to 1.45 times the approved recommended dosage of 6 mg/kg AIBW), unless otherwise noted.
Distribution- The mean (±SD) steady state volume of distribution of mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx was 2.63 (±2.98) L. Human plasma protein binding of DM4 and S-methyl DM4 was >99%, in vitro.
Elimination- Total plasma clearance (geometric mean [CV%]) of mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx was 18.9 mL/hour (51.9%).
The geometric mean terminal phase half-life of mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx after the first dose was 4.8 days leading to a steady state at approximately 24 days.
Metabolism- The monoclonal antibody portion of mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx is expected to be metabolized into small peptides by catabolic pathways.
Excretion- S-methyl DM4 and DM4-sulfo-SPDB-lysine were detected in urine within 24 hours of infusion as the main metabolites
5.Specific Populations- No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx were observed based on age (34 to 89 years), body weight (36 to 136 kg), mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin =ULN and any AST >ULN or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 times ULN and any AST), or mild to moderate renal impairment (CLcr =30 and <90 mL/min).
The pharmacokinetics of ELAHERE in patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >1.5 ULN with any AST) or severe renal impairment (CLcr 15 to 30 mL/min) is unknown.
Drug Interaction Studies-
Clinical studies and model informed approaches No clinical studies evaluating the drug-drug interaction potential of mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx have been conducted.
However, in 3 clinical trials, there were no differences in exposure between patients who received concomitant weak or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors and those who did not. In Vitro Studies Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Enzymes: Unconjugated DM4 is a time-dependent inhibitor of CYP3A4.
Transporter Systems: Unconjugated DM4 and S-methyl DM4 are substrates of P-gp but are not inhibitors of Pgp.
6. Immunogenicity- As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation against mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay.
The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies (including neutralizing antibody) is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies to mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx in other studies.
With a median duration of treatment of 4.3 months in Studies 0417, 0401, and 0403, a total of 55/423 (13%) ovarian cancer patients treated with mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx at 6 mg/kg AIBW had at least 1 postbaseline positive sample for anti-mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx antibodies. Of those patients, 28/423 patients (7%) had developed treatment-emergent ADA and 3/423 patients (
Pregnancy and lactation:
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
1. Pregnancy Risk Summary- Based on its mechanism of action, ELAHERE can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman because it contains a genotoxic compound (DM4) and affects actively dividing cells.
There are no available human data on ELAHERE use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. No reproductive or developmental animal toxicity studies were conducted with mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx.
Advise patients of the potential risk to a fetus.
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.
2. Lactation Risk Summary- There are no data on the presence of mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx in human milk or the effects on the breastfed child or milk production.
Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with ELAHERE and for 1 month after the last dose.
3. Females and Males of Reproductive Potential- ELAHERE can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman
Pregnancy Testing- Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating ELAHERE.
Contraception Females: Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ELAHERE and for 7 months after the last dose.
4. Pediatric Use- Safety and effectiveness of ELAHERE have not been established in pediatric patients.
5. Geriatric Use- Of the 106 patients who were treated in Study 0417, 44% of patients were =65 years old. Grade =3 adverse reactions occurred in 49% of patients =65 years and in 51% <65 years.
No clinically meaningful differences in efficacy or safety were observed between patients =65 years of age compared to younger patients.
Population pharmacokinetic analysis indicates that age does not have a clinically meaningful effect on the pharmacokinetics of ELAHERE.
6. Renal Impairment- No dosage adjustment of ELAHERE is recommended for patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (CLcr 30 to 90 mL/min).
The effect of severe renal impairment (CLcr 15 to < 30 mL/min) or end-stage renal disease on ELAHERE is unknown
7. Hepatic Impairment - Avoid use of ELAHERE in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >1.5 ULN).
No dosage adjustment of ELAHERE is recommended for patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin =ULN and AST >ULN or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 times ULN and any AST)
