                  Contraindications

                  None

                  Cautions

                  Severe, life-threatening, or fatal interstitial lung disease, including pneumonitis may occur; monitor for pulmonary signs and symptoms of pneumonitis, which may include hypoxia, cough, dyspnea, or interstitial infiltrates on radiologic exams; appropriately investigate to exclude infectious, neoplastic, and other causes for such symptoms

                  Peripheral neuropathy commonly occurs; median time to onset was 1.3 months after initiation; monitor for signs and symptoms of neuropathy (eg, paresthesia, tingling or a burning sensation, neuropathic pain, muscle weakness, dysesthesia)

                  Based on its mechanism of action, can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to pregnant females

                  Ocular disorders

                  • Can cause severe ocular adverse reactions, including visual impairment, keratopathy (corneal disorders), dry eye, photophobia, eye pain, and uveitis
                  • Ophthalmic examinations required and premedication with lubricating and corticosteroid eye drops before administration
                  • Median time to onset for first ocular adverse reaction was 1.2 months (range: 0.03 to 12.9 months)
                  • Monitor for ocular toxicity and withhold, reduce, or permanently discontinue therapy based on severity and persistence of ocular adverse reactions
                  • Advise patients to avoid use of contact lenses during treatment unless directed by a healthcare provider
                  • Promptly refer patients to an eye care professional for any new or worsening ocular signs and symptoms

                  Drug interaction overview

                  • DM4 is a CYP3A4 substrate
                  • Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors
                    • Closely monitor
                    • Coadministration with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase unconjugated DM4 exposure, which may increase the risk of adverse reactions

                  Pregnancy & Lactation

                  Pregnancy

                  Based on its mechanism of action, can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to pregnant females because it contains a genotoxic compound (DM4) and affects actively dividing cells

                  Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) is known to cross the placental barrier; therefore, mirvetuximab soravtansine has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus

                  There are no available human data regarding use in pregnant females to inform a drug-associated risk

                  No reproductive or developmental animal toxicity studies were conducted

                  Advise patients of potential risk to fetus

                  Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential before initiating

                  Contraception

                  • Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 7 months after last dose

                  Lactation

                  Data are not available regarding presence in human milk or effects on breastfed children or milk production

                  Advise females not to breastfeed during treatment and for 1 month after last dose

                  Pregnancy Categories

                  A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

                  B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

                  C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

                  D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

                  X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

                  NA: Information not available.

                  Upon binding to FRα, mirvetuximab soravtansine is internalized followed by intracellular release of DM4 via proteolytic cleavage

                  DM4 disrupts the microtubule network within the cell, resulting in cell cycle arrest and apoptotic cell death

                  Absorption

                  Steady-state reached at ~24 days

                  Peak plasma concentration

                  • Unconjugated DM4: 4.11 ng/mL
                  • S-methyl-DM4: 6.98 ng/mL

                  AUC

                  • Mirvetuximab soravtansine: 20.65 h⋅mg/mL
                  • Unconjugated DM4: 530 h⋅ng/mL
                  • S-methyl-DM4: 1848 h⋅ng/mL

                  Distribution

                  Protein bound: >99% (DM4 and S-methyl DM4)

                  Vd: 2.63 L (mirvetuximab soravtansine)

                  Metabolism

                  Monoclonal antibody portion of mirvetuximab soravtansine is expected to be metabolized into small peptides by catabolic pathways

                  Unconjugated DM4 and S-methyl-DM4 undergo metabolism by CYP3A4

                  Elimination

                  Excretion: S-methyl DM4 and DM4-sulfo-SPDB-lysine were detected in urine within 24 hr of infusion as the main metabolites

                  Half-life

                  • Mirvetuximab soravtansine: 4.8 days
                  • Unconjugated DM4: 2.8 days
                  • S-methyl-DM4: 5 days

                  Follow applicable special handling and disposal procedures

                  Calculate dose (mg) based on patient’s AIBW, total volume (mL) of solution required, and the number of vials needed for any dosage modifications

                  More than 1 vial will be needed for a full dose

                  Remove vials from refrigerator and allow to warm to room temperature

                  Inspect visually for particulate matter and discoloration before administering; solution should appear clear to slightly opalescent to colorless

                  Gently swirl and inspect each vial before withdrawing dose volume for subsequent further dilution

                  Do not shake vial

                  Using aseptic technique, withdraw dose volume for subsequent further dilution

                  Contains no preservatives and is intended for single-dose only; discard any unused drug remaining in vial

                  Dilution

                  • Must dilute with D5W to final concentration of 1-2 mg/mL; incompatible with saline solutions
                  • Do not mix with any other drugs or IV fluids
                  • Determine D5W volume required to achieve final diluted concentration; either remove excess D5W from prefilled IV bag or add calculated volume to a sterile empty IV bag
                  • Then add calculated dose volume to IV bag and gently mix by slowly inverting the bag several times to assure uniform mixing
                  • Do not shake or agitate
