1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundMirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx (MIRV) is a FOLR1-binding antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) with a microtubule inhibitor payload. We investigated MIRV's efficacy, toxicity profile, and determinants of resistance in a cohort of patients with recurrent/persistent high FOLR1-expressing high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC).

methodsThis retrospective study included 170 patients with recurrent/persistent FOLR1-high (≥75 % of tumor cells with ≥2+ membranous staining intensity) HGSOC who received standard-of-care MIRV monotherapy. We evaluated progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) using the Kaplan-Meier method and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models. We classified adverse events using CTCAE v5.0.

resultsOverall, median PFS was 3.5 months (95 % CI, 3.0-4.1). However, 22.4 % had PFS ≥6 months and were less likely to have progressed on or within one month of prior taxane-based therapy (P = 0.008). Patients with previous progression on a taxane had worse PFS (HR, 1.69; 95 % CI, 1.19-2.40; adjusted P = 0.003) and OS (HR, 2.34; 95 % CI, 1.45-3.77; adjusted P = 0.0005). FOLR1 expression was lower in post-MIRV samples (n = 12; P = 0.005). New or worsening neuropathy was observed in 37.6 % of patients. Among the 34.1 % who experienced ocular toxicity, median onset was 42.5 days. Treatment was discontinued in 5.3 % of patients due to toxicity. DISCUSSION: MIRV confers meaningful PFS benefit for a subset of individuals with HGSOC. Resistance may be associated with decreased FOLR1 target expression or payload resistance. FOLR1-targeted ADCs with a different payload should be evaluated for patients who progress on MIRV but retain high tumor FOLR1 expression.
