- Inspect the ELAHERE intravenous infusion bag visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration.
- Administer pre-medications prior to ELAHERE administration [see Premedication and Prophylactic Regimen (2.3)].
- Administer ELAHERE as an intravenous infusion only, using a 0.2 or 0.22 µm polyethersulfone (PES) in-line filter. Do not substitute other membrane materials.
- Administer the initial dose as an intravenous infusion at the rate of 1 mg/min. If well tolerated after 30 minutes at 1 mg/min, the infusion rate can be increased to 3 mg/min. If well tolerated after 30 minutes at 3 mg/min, the infusion rate can be increased to 5 mg/min.
- If no infusion-related reactions occur with the previous dose, subsequent infusions should be started at the maximally tolerated rate and may be increased up to a maximum infusion rate of 5 mg/min, as tolerated.
- Following the infusion, flush the intravenous line with 5% Dextrose Injection, USP to ensure delivery of the full dose. Do not use any other intravenous fluids for flushing.
Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer
Study 0417
The safety of ELAHERE was evaluated in Study 0417, a single-arm, open-label study in patients (n=106) with platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Patients received ELAHERE 6 mg/kg AIBW once every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of treatment was 4.2 months (range: 0.7 to 13.3).
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 31% of patients. The most common (≥2%) serious adverse reactions were intestinal obstruction (8%), ascites (4%), infection (3%), and pleural effusion (3%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 2% of patients, including small intestinal obstruction (1%) and pneumonitis (1%).
Permanent discontinuation of ELAHERE due to adverse reactions occurred in 11% of patients. The most common (≥2%) adverse reactions leading to permanent discontinuation were intestinal obstruction (2%) and thrombocytopenia (2%). One patient (0.9%) permanently discontinued ELAHERE due to visual impairment (unilateral decrease to BCVA ≤ 20/200 that resolved to baseline after discontinuation).
Dosage delays of ELAHERE due to an adverse reaction occurred in 39% of patients treated with ELAHERE. Adverse reactions which required dosage delays in ≥3% of patients included visual impairment (15%), keratopathy (11%), neutropenia (6%), dry eye (5%), cataracts (3%), and increased gamma-glutamyltransferase (3%).
Dose reductions of ELAHERE due to an adverse reaction occurred in 20% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose reductions in ≥3% of patients included visual impairment (9%) and keratopathy (7%).
The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were vision impairment, fatigue, increased aspartate aminotransferase, nausea, increased alanine aminotransferase, keratopathy, abdominal pain, decreased lymphocytes, peripheral neuropathy, diarrhea, decreased albumin, constipation, increased alkaline phosphatase, dry eye, decreased magnesium, decreased leukocytes, decreased neutrophils, and decreased hemoglobin.

Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors
DM4 is a CYP3A4 substrate. Concomitant use of ELAHERE with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase unconjugated DM4 exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the risk of ELAHERE adverse reactions [see Adverse Reactions (6)]. Closely monitor patients for adverse reactions with ELAHERE when used concomitantly with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Warnings and Precautions (5)].
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 [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1), Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)]. Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) is known to cross the placental barrier; therefore, ELAHERE has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. 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.
Data
Animal Data: No reproductive or developmental animal toxicity studies have been conducted with mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx. The cytotoxic component of ELAHERE, DM4, disrupts microtubule function, is genotoxic, and can be toxic to actively dividing cells, suggesting it has the potential to cause embryotoxicity and teratogenicity.
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.
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.
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.
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. For the unconjugated DM4, the total plasma clearance (geometric mean [CV%]) was 13.8 L/hour (31.1%) and the geometric mean terminal phase half-life was 2.8 days. For S-methyl-DM4, the total plasma clearance (geometric mean [CV%]) was 4.3 L/hour (63.6%) and the geometric mean terminal phase half-life was 5.0 days.
Metabolism
The monoclonal antibody portion of mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx is expected to be metabolized into small peptides by catabolic pathways. Unconjugated DM4 and S-methyl-DM4 undergo metabolism by CYP3A4. In human plasma, DM4 and S-methyl DM4 were identified as the main circulating metabolites, accounting for approximately 0.4% and 1.4% of mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx AUCs, respectively.
Excretion
S-methyl DM4 and DM4-sulfo-SPDB-lysine were detected in urine within 24 hours of infusion as the main metabolites.
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. Unconjugated DM4 and S-methyl DM4 are not direct inhibitors of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, or CYP3A. DM4 and S-methyl DM4 are not inducers of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, or CYP3A4.
Transporter Systems: Unconjugated DM4 and S-methyl DM4 are substrates of P-gp but are not inhibitors of P-gp.
