Carboplatin and Mirvetuximab Soravtansine in First-Line Treatment of Patients Receiving Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Folate Receptor Alpha Positive Advanced-Stage Ovarian, Fallopian Tube or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests whether mirvetuximab soravtansine and carboplatin works to shrink tumors in patients with folate receptor alpha positive ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer (that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Mirvetuximab soravtansine is a monoclonal antibody, called mirvetuximab, linked to a chemotherapy drug called soravtansine. Mirvetuximab attached to folate receptor 1 (FOLR1) positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers soravtansine to kill them. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Giving mirvetuximab soravtansine and carboplatin may kill more tumor cells in patients with advanced stage ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer.
