New Antibody-Drug conjugate takes aim at Hard-to-Treat gynaecological cancers
NCT ID NCT05527184
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing a new drug called IMGN151 in 256 adults with recurrent gynaecological cancers, including ovarian, endometrial, and cervical cancers. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate designed to deliver a cancer-killing agent directly to cells that have a specific marker (folate receptor alpha). The study's main goals are to check safety, find the right dose, and get an early look at whether the drug can shrink tumors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- IMGN151 (an antibody-drug conjugate that targets folate receptor alpha on cancer cells)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with recurrent gynaecological cancers that have not responded to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial, so the main goals are safety and dosing, not yet proving effectiveness. The drug may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors in later studies.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) of 0 or 1. 2. Dose-Escalation Phase: Recurrent endometrial cancer or high-grade serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer (EOC) and who have exhausted appropriate standard-of-care therapy. 3. Dose Optimization: Platinum-resistant, high-grade serous EOC (PROC) with no previous folate receptor alpha (FRα)-directed therapy. Participants with PROC will have had no more than 5 prior lines of therapy, with no more than 2 prior therapies since development of platinum resistance. 4. Expansion Phase: 1. For Cohort A, recurrent endometrial cancer (high-grade Grade 3 endometrioid or serous histology only) with 1-3 prior lines of therapy. 2. For Cohort B, a confirmed diagnosis of high-grade serous PROC with no previous FRα-directed therapy and no more than 5 prior lines of therapy, with no more than 2 prior therapies since development of platinum resistance. 3. For Cohort C, a confirmed diagnosis of high-grade serous PROC with previous FRα-directed therapy with at least one intervening anticancer therapy between prior FRα-directed therapy other than mirvetuximab soravtansine. 4. For Cohort D, EOC of one of the following histologies: carcinosarcoma, endometrioid, and low-grade serous carcinoma and have exhausted appropriate standard-of-care therapy. 5. For Cohort E, cervical cancer including the following histologies: squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma with 1-4 prior lines of therapy. 6. For participants with cervical cancer with Combined Positive Score (CPS) \> 1 or with endometrial cancer, prior checkpoint inhibitor therapy, alone or in combination, is required if available locally and medically appropriate. 5. Evaluable lesions 1. Dose-Escalation Phase: Participants may have radiologically evaluable or nonevaluable disease. 2. Dose Optimization and Expansion Phase: Participants must have at least 1 lesion that meets the definition of measurable disease by RECIST v1.1 (radiologically measured by the investigator). 6. Willing to provide an archival tumor tissue block or slides or to undergo a procedure to obtain a new biopsy using a low-risk, medically routine procedure. 7. Participants must have stabilized or recovered (Grade 1 or baseline) from all prior therapy-related toxicities (except alopecia or hemoglobin within 10 days before Cycle 1 Day 1). 8. Participants must have completed any major surgery at least 4 weeks prior to first dose of IMGN151 and have recovered or stabilized from the side effects of prior surgery prior to first dose of IMGN151. 9. Participants must have adequate organ and bone marrow function. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Participants with ovarian cancer with histologies including clear cell, mucinous, or borderline ovarian tumor. 1. With the exception of participants enrolled in Cohort D, participants with ovarian cancer with histologies including endometrioid, sarcomatous histology, mixed tumors containing any of the above histologies, as well as low-grade serous carcinoma. 2. For Cohort A, participants with endometrial cancer with histologies other than serous or high-grade Grade 3 endometrioid. 3. For Cohort E, participants with cervical cancer with histologies other than adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and adenosquamous carcinoma. 2. For Cohort B and Dose Optimization: participants with primary platinum refractory ovarian cancer, defined as disease progression on or within 3 months completion of first platinum-based treatment. 3. Radiation therapy of \> 20% of the potential bone marrow 4. Participants with \> Grade 1 peripheral neuropathy per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0. Note: medication management to achieve Grade 1 (asymptomatic) is acceptable. 5. Participants with the following ocular history and/or concurrent disorders: 1. Active or chronic corneal epithelial disorders other than non-confluent superficial keratopathy/keratitis, including confluent superficial punctate keratopathy/keratitis (SPK) not expected to resolve to non-confluence or better within the screening window with standard-of-care intervention 2. History of corneal transplantation 3. Undergoing active postoperative management for refractive surgery, cataract surgery, corneal cross-linking, or corneal complications of surgery 4. Active or chronic clinically significant (≥ Grade 3) corneal disorders (for example, Fuch's dystrophy or neurotrophic keratitis) 5. Active ocular conditions requiring ongoing treatment/monitoring, such as glaucoma, which is not adequately controlled with medication or surgery, wet age-related macular degeneration requiring intravitreal injections, active diabetic retinopathy with macular edema, presence of papilledema, an ocular condition with high risk of retinal detachment 6. Monocular vision with visual acuity in the worse-seeing eye (worse than 20/200 or visual fields less than 20 degrees) 6. Serious concurrent illness or clinically relevant active infection. 7. A history of multiple sclerosis or other demyelinating disease and/or Lambert-Eaton syndrome (paraneoplastic syndrome) 8. Participants with clinically significant cardiac disease. 9. A history of hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke (including transient ischemic attack) within 6 months before enrollment 10. A history of cirrhotic liver disease (Child-Pugh Class B or C) 11. Participants with evidence of pneumonitis on baseline imaging or Participants with a previous clinical diagnosis of noninfectious interstitial lung disease (ILD), including noninfectious pneumonitis 12. Participants with prior hypersensitivity to monoclonal antibodies (mAb) 13. Females who are pregnant or breastfeeding 14. For Dose Optimization and Expansion Phase: Participants who received a prior FRα-targeting agent, with the exception of participants enrolled in the prior FRα-targeting agent, ovarian cancer cohort (Cohort C). Receipt of prior mirvetuximab soravtansine is excluded for all cohorts. 15. Untreated or symptomatic central nervous system metastases 16. A history of other malignancy within 3 years before enrollment
