Mirvetuximab Soravtansine

Mirvetuximab soravtansine (IMGN853) solution is an anti-folate receptor α (FRα) antibody drug-conjugate (ADC) consisting of the cytotoxic maytansinoid, DM4, covalently linked to the humanized monoclonal antibody M9346A. Mirvetuximab soravtansine selectively binds to folate receptor 1 (FOLR1). Mirvetuximab soravtansine has an anti-proliferative effect via growth arrest and augmented DNA damage[1].
