What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS), as Assessed by BIRC Per RECIST Version 1.1 in All Participants Randomized to the Study
PFS was defined as the time from randomization until PD or death whichever occurred first, estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. PD: At least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters (SoD) of target lesion, taken as reference the smallest (nadir) SoD since and including baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the SoD must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Unequivocal progression of non-target lesions and appearance of new lesions. Unequivocal progression should not normally trump target lesion status. It must be representative of overall disease status change, not a single lesion increase.
Measured: From the date of randomization until the time of death or PD (maximum exposure: 86.9 weeks for mirvetuximab soravtansine arm and 62.9 weeks for IC chemotherapy arm)
PFS, as Assessed by BIRC Per RECIST Version 1.1 in Participants With High Folate Receptor Alpha Level (≥ 75% of Tumor Staining)
PFS was defined as the time from randomization until PD or death whichever occurred first, estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. PD: At least a 20% increase in the SoD of target lesion, taken as reference the smallest (nadir) SoD since and including baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the SoD must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Unequivocal progression of non-target lesions and appearance of new lesions. Unequivocal progression should not normally trump target lesion status. It must be representative of overall disease status change, not a single lesion increase.
Measured: From the date of randomization until the time of death or PD (maximum exposure: 86.9 weeks for mirvetuximab soravtansine arm and 62.9 weeks for IC chemotherapy arm)
Secondary outcomes (9)
Objective Response Rate (ORR): Percentage of Participants With Objective Response, as Assessed by BIRC Per RECIST1.1
ORR was defined as percentage of participants with a best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). CR: Disappearance of all target or non-target lesions. All pathological or non-pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to less than (<) 10 millimeters (mm). PR: At least 30 percent (%) decrease in the SoD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SoD.
Measured: From randomization until first BOR of CR or PR (maximum exposure: 86.9 weeks for mirvetuximab soravtansine arm and 62.9 weeks for IC chemotherapy arm)
Overall Survival (OS)
OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death from any cause. Participants who did not experience the event of death were censored at their last date known to be alive. OS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Measured: From the date of randomization until the time of death (maximum exposure: 86.9 weeks for mirvetuximab soravtansine arm and 62.9 weeks for IC chemotherapy arm)
Number of Participants Achieving at Least a 15% (≥ 15-Point) Absolute Improvement From Baseline on the EORTC QLQ-OV28 Abdominal/Gastrointestinal (AB/GI) Symptom Subscale at Week 8/9 Assessment
European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Ovarian Cancer 28 (EORTC QLQ-OV28) is a 28-item ovarian cancer supplemental module. It comprises of 6 symptom scales (AB/GI symptoms, peripheral neuropathy, other chemotherapy side-effects, hormonal symptoms, body image, attitude to disease, treatment), and sexual functioning. Participants were asked to indicate extent to which they experienced AB/GI symptoms. Participants responded on a scale of 1-4(1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much) to following: Did you have abdominal pain? Did you have a bloated feeling in your abdomen? Did you have problems with your clothes feeling too tight? Did you experience any change in bowel habit as a result of your disease or treatment? Were you troubled by passing wind/gas/flatulence? Have you felt full too quickly after beginning to eat? Have you had indigestion/heartburn? Data were transformed to a scale from 0-100. Lower scores=better health.
Measured: Baseline, Week 8/9
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Adverse event (AE): any untoward medical occurrence that develops or worsens in severity during the conduct of a clinical study and does not necessarily have a causal relationship to study drug. Severity: graded per National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for AEs (CTCAE) v4.03 on following scale: Grade 1=mild, Grade 2=moderate, Grade 3=severe, Grade 4=life-threatening, Grade 5=death. Relation of AE to treatment was determined by investigator. Serious AEs: death, life-threatening AE, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent/significant disability or incapacity, congenital anomaly or birth defect, or an important medical event that required medical intervention to prevent 1 of the outcomes listed in this definition. TEAEs: any AE that emerged on or after the first dose, and within 30 days of the last dose. A summary of serious and all other non-serious AEs regardless of causality is located in the Reported AEs module.
Measured: From first dose of study drug up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (maximum exposure: 86.9 weeks for mirvetuximab soravtansine arm and 62.9 weeks for IC chemotherapy arm)
Gynecologic Cancer Intergroup (GCIG) CA-125 Response Rate: Percentage of Participants With GCIG CA-125 Confirmed Clinical Responses
CA-125 Response rate wasdefined as the number of participants with a CA-125 confirmed response divided by the number of participants in the CA-125 response-evaluable population multiplied by 100.
Measured: From first dose of study drug until CA-125 response (maximum exposure: 86.9 weeks for mirvetuximab soravtansine arm and 62.9 weeks for IC chemotherapy arm)
PFS, as Assessed by Investigator Per RECIST Version 1.1
PFS was defined as the time from randomization until PD or death whichever occurred first, estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. PD: At least a 20% increase in the SoD of target lesion, taken as reference the smallest (nadir) SoD since and including baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the SoD must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Unequivocal progression of non-target lesions and appearance of new lesions. Unequivocal progression should not normally trump target lesion status. It must be representative of overall disease status change, not a single lesion increase.
Measured: From the date of randomization until the time of death or PD (maximum exposure: 86.9 weeks for mirvetuximab soravtansine arm and 62.9 weeks for IC chemotherapy arm)
Duration of Response (DOR), as Assessed by BIRC Per RECIST v1.1
DOR was defined as the time from the date of the first response (CR or PR), whichever was recorded first, until the date of PD. PD: At least a 20% increase in the SoD of target lesion, taken as reference the smallest (nadir) SoD since and including baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the SoD must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Unequivocal progression of non-target lesions. Unequivocal progression should not normally trump target lesion status. It must be representative of overall disease status change, not a single lesion increase. DOR was only defined for participants who had a BOR of CR or PR using the method of Kaplan-Meier.
Measured: From the date of first response (CR or PR) until the date of PD (maximum exposure: 86.9 weeks for mirvetuximab soravtansine arm and 62.9 weeks for IC chemotherapy arm)

PK parameters were calculated using standard non-compartmental methods.
Measured: Pre-dose and within 5 minutes after mirvetuximab soravtansine infusion on Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 3; and Day 8 and 15 of Cycles 1 and 3
Number of Participants With Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADA)
An electrochemiluminescent method was used for the detection of anti-mirvetuximab soravtansine antibodies in plasma from samples collected in dipotassium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (K2EDTA) tubes. The qualitative assay was designed to detect anti-mirvetuximab soravtansine antibodies in human plasma.

Primary outcome
Progression-Free Survival (PFS), as Assessed by BIRC Per RECIST Version 1.1 in All Participants Randomized to the Study
Time frame: From the date of randomization until the time of death or PD (maximum exposure: 86.9 weeks for mirvetuximab soravtansine arm and 62.9 weeks for IC chemotherapy arm)
PFS was defined as the time from randomization until PD or death whichever occurred first, estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. PD: At least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters (SoD) of target lesion, taken as reference the smallest (nadir) SoD since and including baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the SoD must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Unequivocal progression of non-target lesions and appearance of new lesions. Unequivocal progression should not normally trump target lesion status. It must be representative of overall disease status change, not a single lesion increase.
PFS, as Assessed by BIRC Per RECIST Version 1.1 in Participants With High Folate Receptor Alpha Level (≥ 75% of Tumor Staining)
Time frame: From the date of randomization until the time of death or PD (maximum exposure: 86.9 weeks for mirvetuximab soravtansine arm and 62.9 weeks for IC chemotherapy arm)

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jun 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Progression-Free Survival (PFS), as Assessed by BIRC Per RECIST Version 1.1 in All Participants Randomized to the Study (time frame: From the date of randomization until the time of death or PD (maximum exposure: 86.9 weeks for mirvetuximab soravtansine arm and 62.9 weeks for IC chemotherapy arm)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02631876, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Oct 2020.
