We report a population of high FOLR1-expressing tumor-associated macrophages (CD163 + FOLR1 + ), suggesting potential on-target, off-tumor immune editing by MIRV. A composite biomarker score derived in this cohort correlates with objective response to MIRV and pembrolizumab.

Recently, the antibody-drug conjugate mirvetuximab soravtansine has been approved for treatment of advanced platinum-resistant high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC)...In conclusion, these results confirm that FRα expression in HGSC and LGSC reaches similar values compared to published data, and is present in a minority of endometrial serous carcinomas. In other ovarian and endometrial tumors examined, FRα expression is absent or rare.
Collectively, VEGF-, PARP-, and FRα-targeted therapies have enabled more rational treatment sequencing, informed combination strategies, and personalized clinical decision-making in ovarian cancer. Ongoing efforts to define optimal sequencing, overcome acquired resistance, and refine predictive biomarkers are expected to further enhance the durability and breadth of benefit from targeted therapies and advance precision oncology in gynecologic malignancies.
