Conference Call to be Held at
ImmunoGen requested the meeting to discuss the results of the Phase 3 FORWARD I trial and a potential path to registration for mirvetuximab monotherapy. The agency advised that, because FORWARD I did not meet its primary endpoint under the pre-specified statistical analysis plan, the data generated assessing the secondary endpoints from the study could not be used to support an application for accelerated approval.
“We are encouraged by the consistent signal of anti-tumor activity and the favorable benefit-risk profile in patients with high FRα expression in our Phase 3 FORWARD I trial,” said

ABOUT FORWARD I
FORWARD I is a Phase 3 trial in which 366 patients were randomized 2:1 to receive either mirvetuximab soravtansine or the physician's choice of single-agent chemotherapy (pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, topotecan, or weekly paclitaxel). Eligible patients were diagnosed with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer that expresses medium or high levels of FRα and were treated with up to three prior regimens. The primary endpoint of this study was progression free survival (PFS), which was assessed in the entire study population and in the subset of patients with high FRα expression. ImmunoGen estimates that 12,000-14,000 patients per year in the U.S. meet these criteria, with a comparable number in the major markets in
