The Efficacy and Safety of Folate Receptor α-Targeted Antibody-Drug Conjugate Therapy in Patients With High-Grade Epithelial Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) have emerged as a highly promising systemic option in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer. The present study aimed to evaluate the treatment efficacy of folate receptor α (FRα)-targeting ADCs, associated treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), and their impact on treatment safety.

Methods

We conducted an electronic search to identify prospective trials of single-agent ADCs targeting FRα and those combined with chemotherapy in recurrent ovarian cancer. Information regarding the objective response rate (ORR) and TRAEs was collectively analyzed, and differences in subgroups based on FRα receptor expression levels were investigated. The protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023491151).
