Elahere Key Facts
What is Elahere?
Elahere is the brand name for mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx and is available as an intravenous infusion.
What dosages is Elahere available in?
Elahere is available as a 100 mg/20 mL (5 mg/mL) single-dose vial.
What is Elahere used for?
Elahere is a targeted medication used to treat folate receptor-alpha (FRɑ) positive ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that hasn’t responded well to other anticancer medications.
How does Elahere work?
Elahere is a antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). It’s a combination of a monoclonal antibody linked to a traditional chemotherapy medication that kills cancer cells. In Elahere, the antibody portion (mirvetuximab) binds to the folate receptor-alpha protein found on cancer cells. Once that happens, Elahere is absorbed into the cell. There, it releases a strong cancer-killing medication (soravtansine) that prevents the cells from dividing and growing, which leads to cell death.

The recommended dose of Elahere is 6 mg/kg adjusted ideal body weight administered as an intravenous infusion every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
