Pharmacology

Mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx is a folate receptor alpha (FRalpha)-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) consisting of an anti-FRalpha chimeric IgG1 antibody linked via a cleavable sulfo-SPDB linker to DM4, a microtubule inhibitor; upon binding to FRalpha and internalization, DM4 is released intracellularly to disrupt the microtubule network, inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptotic cell death.

Bevacizumab is a VEGF inhibitor that binds VEGF and prevents its interaction with receptors Flt-1 and KDR on endothelial cells, inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation and new blood vessel formation, thereby reducing tumor microvascular growth and metastatic disease progression.
