Active substance
mirvetuximab soravtansine (a drug that targets a protein called folate receptor alpha on cancer cells and delivers a chemotherapy agent)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for Japanese patients with advanced ovarian cancer or other solid tumors that have not responded to standard therapies.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 28 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Side effects, including eye problems and nerve damage, are possible.
