Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are immunoconjugates that combine the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with a cytotoxic agent. The most appealing aspects of ADCs include their potential additive or synergistic effects of the innate backbone antibody and cytotoxic effects of the payload on tumors without the severe toxic side effects often associated with traditional chemotherapy. Recent advances in identifying new targets with tumor-specific expression, along with improved bioactive payloads and novel linkers, have significantly expanded the scope and optimism for ADCs in cancer therapeutics. In this paper, we will first provide a brief overview of antibody specificity and the structure of ADCs. Next, we will discuss the mechanisms of action and the development of resistance to ADCs. Finally, we will explore opportunities for enhancing ADC efficacy, overcoming drug resistance, and offer future perspectives on leveraging ADCs to improve the outcome of ADC therapy for cancer treatment.

Mirvetuximab soravtansine: A breakthrough in targeted therapy for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e38132. [PMID: 38758856 PMCID: PMC11098247 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000038132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Ovarian cancer, ranked as the second leading cause of gynecologic malignancy-related deaths globally, poses a formidable challenge despite advances in early detection and treatment modalities. This paper explores the efficacy and safety of mirvetuximab soravtansine, the first folate receptor alpha (FRα)-targeting antibody-drug conjugate, in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer expressing FRα. A review of 4 key studies involving 453 participants consistently demonstrates mirvetuximab soravtansine's clinically meaningful antitumor activity and favorable safety profile. Clinical implications emphasize mirvetuximab soravtansine's pivotal role in targeted therapy, especially for high FRα-expressing tumors, potentially reshaping platinum-resistant ovarian cancer management. The combination therapy approach introduces a novel dimension, suggesting enhanced therapeutic outcomes. Even in heavily pretreated patients, mirvetuximab soravtansine's favorable tolerability positions it as a viable option. The reliability of archival tissue for FRα assessment simplifies patient selection, streamlining accessibility to targeted therapies. However, identified gaps, including limited diversity in patient populations, sparse quality of life data, and the need for long-term safety information, indicate areas for future research. Exploration of additional biomarkers predicting mirvetuximab soravtansine responsiveness is essential for personalized treatment.

Abstract
Folate receptors including folate receptor α (FRα) are overexpressed in up to 90% of ovarian cancers. Ovarian cancers overexpressing FRα often exhibit high degrees of drug resistance and poor outcomes. A porphyrin chassis has been developed that is readily customizable according to the desired targeting properties. Thus, compound O5 includes a free base porphyrin, two water-solubilizing groups that project above and below the macrocycle plane, and a folate targeting moiety. Compound O5 was synthesized (>95% purity) and exhibited aqueous solubility of at least 0.48 mM (1 mg/mL). Radiolabeling of O5 with 64Cu in HEPES buffer at 37 °C gave a molar activity of 1000 μCi/μg (88 MBq/nmol). [64Cu]Cu-O5 was stable in human serum for 24 h. Cell uptake studies showed 535 ± 12% bound/mg [64Cu]Cu-O5 in FRα-positive IGROV1 cells when incubated at 0.04 nM. Subcellular fractionation showed that most radioactivity was associated with the cytoplasmic (39.4 ± 2.7%) and chromatin-bound nuclear (53.0 ± 4.2%) fractions. In mice bearing IGROV1 xenografts, PET imaging studies showed clear tumor uptake of [64Cu]Cu-O5 from 1 to 24 h post injection with a low degree of liver uptake. The tumor standardized uptake value at 24 h post injection was 0.34 ± 0.16 versus 0.06 ± 0.07 in the blocking group. In summary, [64Cu]Cu-O5 was synthesized at high molar activity, was stable in serum, exhibited high binding to FRα-overexpressing cells with high nuclear translocation, and gave uptake that was clearly visible in mouse tumor xenografts.

Abstract
Although cure rates remain low and effective screening strategies are elusive, the recent advances in systemic therapies over the past year highlighted in this review have prolonged survival for women with ovarian cancer. In 2022, the first antibody-drug conjugate for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer received accelerated US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. Confirmatory studies examining the efficacy of mirvetuximab and other antibody-drug conjugates are underway. In the upfront setting, the first data establishing an overall survival benefit from poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor maintenance was demonstrated after a 7-year follow-up period. In contrast, long-term updates from poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor trials in the noncurative setting reported survival detriments, and the FDA withdrew the respective indications. Several trials attempted to improve upon the standard of care for platinum-sensitive ovarian carcinoma and those with rare ovarian cancer histologies (carcinosarcoma, clear cell carcinoma) but failed to demonstrate a clinically or statistically meaningful benefit. This leaves the open question of how to further optimize systemic therapy for advanced ovarian carcinoma to improve long-term survival and cure rates.

Abstract
The evaluation of biomarkers by molecular techniques and immunohistochemistry has become increasingly relevant to the treatment of female genital tract tumours as a consequence of the greater availability of therapeutic options and updated disease classifications. For ovarian cancer, mutation testing for BRCA1/2 is the standard predictive biomarker for poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor therapy, while homologous recombination deficiency testing may allow the identification of eligible patients among cases without demonstrable BRCA1/2 mutations. Clinical recommendations are available which specify how these predictive biomarkers should be applied. Mismatch repair (MMR) protein and folate receptor alpha immunohistochemistry may also be used to guide treatment in ovarian cancer. In endometrial cancer, MMR immunohistochemistry is the preferred test for predicting benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy, but molecular testing for microsatellite instability may have a supplementary role. HER2 testing by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridisation is applicable to endometrial serous carcinomas to assess trastuzumab eligibility. Immunohistochemistry for oestrogen receptor and progesterone receptor expression may be used for prognostication in endometrial cancer, but its predictive value for hormonal therapy is not yet proven. POLE mutation testing and p53 immunohistochemistry (as a surrogate for TP53 mutation status) serve as prognostic markers for favourable and adverse outcomes, respectively, in endometrial cancer, especially when combined with MMR testing for molecular subtype designation. For cervical cancer, programmed death ligand 1 immunohistochemistry may be used to predict benefit from ICI therapy although its predictive value is under debate. In vulvar cancer, p16 and p53 immunohistochemistry has established prognostic value, stratifying patients into three groups based on the human papillomavirus and TP53 mutation status of the tumour. Awareness of the variety and pitfalls of expression patterns for p16 and p53 in vulvar carcinomas is crucial for accurate designation. It is hoped that collaborative efforts in standardising and optimising biomarker testing for gynaecological tumours will contribute to evidence-based therapeutic decisions.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC) is the female genital malignancy with the highest lethality. Patients present a poor prognosis mainly due to the late clinical presentation allied with the common acquisition of chemoresistance and a high rate of tumour recurrence. Effective screening, accurate diagnosis, and personalised multidisciplinary treatments are crucial for improving patients' survival and quality of life. This comprehensive narrative review aims to describe the current knowledge on the aetiology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of OC, highlighting the latest significant advancements and future directions. Traditionally, OC treatment involves the combination of cytoreductive surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy. Although more therapeutical approaches have been developed, the lack of established predictive biomarkers to guide disease management has led to only marginal improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) while patients face an increasing level of toxicity. Fortunately, because of a better overall understanding of ovarian tumourigenesis and advancements in the disease's (epi)genetic and molecular profiling, a paradigm shift has emerged with the identification of new disease biomarkers and the proposal of targeted therapeutic approaches to postpone disease recurrence and decrease side effects, while increasing patients' survival. Despite this progress, several challenges in disease management, including disease heterogeneity and drug resistance, still need to be overcome.

Membrane cholesterol enrichment and folic acid functionalization lead to increased accumulation of erythrocyte-derived optical nano-constructs within the ovarian intraperitoneal tumor implants in mice. NANOMEDICINE : NANOTECHNOLOGY, BIOLOGY, AND MEDICINE 2024; 56:102728.

Abstract
Cytoreductive surgery remains as the gold standard to treat ovarian cancer, but with limited efficacy since not all tumors can be intraoperatively visualized for resection. We have engineered erythrocyte-derived nano-constructs that encapsulate the near infrared (NIR) fluorophore, indocyanine green (ICG), as optical probes for NIR fluorescence imaging of ovarian tumors. Herein, we have enriched the membrane of these nano-constructs with cholesterol, and functionalized their surface with folic acid (FA) to target the folate receptor-α. Using a mouse model, we show that the average fraction of the injected dose per tumor mass for nano-constructs with both membrane cholesterol enrichment and FA functionalization was ~ sixfold higher than non-encapsulated ICG, ~ twofold higher than nano-constructs enriched with cholesterol alone, and 33 % higher than nano-constructs with only FA functionalization at 24-h post-injection. These results suggest that erythrocyte-derived nano-constructs containing both cholesterol and FA present a platform for improved fluorescence imaging of ovarian tumors.

Abstract
Germline and somatic genetic testing have become critical components of care for people with ovarian cancer. The identification of germline and somatic pathogenic variants as well as homologous recombination deficiency can contribute to the prediction of treatment response, prognostic outcome, and suitability for targeted agents (e.g. poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors). Furthermore, identifying germline pathogenic variants can prompt cascade genetic testing for at-risk relatives. Despite the clinical benefits and consensus recommendations from several organizations calling for universal genetic testing in ovarian cancer, only about one third of patients complete germline or somatic genetic testing. The members of the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) Clinical Practice Committee have composed this statement to provide an overview of germline and somatic genetic testing for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, focusing on available testing modalities and options for care delivery.

Blood FOLR3 methylation dysregulations and heterogeneity in non-small lung cancer highlight its strong associations with lung squamous carcinoma. Respir Res 2024; 25:59.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for the vast majority of lung cancers. Early detection is crucial to reduce lung cancer-related mortality. Aberrant DNA methylation occurs early during carcinogenesis and can be detected in blood. It is essential to investigate the dysregulated blood methylation markers for early diagnosis of NSCLC. METHODS NSCLC-associated methylation gene folate receptor gamma (FOLR3) was selected from an Illumina 850K array analysis of peripheral blood samples. Mass spectrometry was used for validation in two independent case-control studies (validation I: n = 2548; validation II: n = 3866). Patients with lung squamous carcinoma (LUSC) or lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), normal controls (NCs) and benign pulmonary nodule (BPN) cases were included. FOLR3 methylations were compared among different populations. Their associations with NSCLC clinical features were investigated. Receiver operating characteristic analyses, Kruskal-Wallis test, Wilcoxon test, logistics regression analysis and nomogram analysis were performed. RESULTS Two CpG sites (CpG_1 and CpG_2) of FOLR3 was significantly lower methylated in NSCLC patients than NCs in the discovery round. In the two validations, both LUSC and LUAD patients presented significant FOLR3 hypomethylations. LUSC patients were highlighted to have significantly lower methylation levels of CpG_1 and CpG_2 than BPN cases and LUAD patients. Both in the two validations, CpG_1 methylation and CpG_2 methylation could discriminate LUSC from NCs well, with areas under the curve (AUCs) of 0.818 and 0.832 in validation I, and 0.789 and 0.780 in validation II. They could also differentiate LUAD from NCs, but with lower efficiency. CpG_1 and CpG_2 methylations could also discriminate LUSC from BPNs well individually in the two validations. With the combined dataset of two validations, the independent associations of age, gender, and FOLR3 methylation with LUSC and LUAD risk were shown and the age-gender-CpG_1 signature could discriminate LUSC and LUAD from NCs and BPNs, with higher efficiency for LUSC. CONCLUSIONS Blood-based FOLR3 hypomethylation was shown in LUSC and LUAD. FOLR3 methylation heterogeneity between LUSC and LUAD highlighted its stronger associations with LUSC. FOLR3 methylation and the age-gender-CpG_1 signature might be novel diagnostic markers for the early detection of NSCLC, especially for LUSC.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this review is to give an overview of the current status of molecular image-guided surgery in gynaecological malignancies, from both clinical and technological points of view. METHODS A narrative approach was taken to describe the relevant literature, focusing on clinical applications of molecular image-guided surgery in gynaecology, preoperative imaging as surgical roadmap, and intraoperative devices. RESULTS The most common clinical application in gynaecology is sentinel node biopsy (SNB). Other promising approaches are receptor-target modalities and occult lesion localisation. Preoperative SPECT/CT and PET/CT permit a roadmap for adequate surgical planning. Intraoperative detection modalities span from 1D probes to 2D portable cameras and 3D freehand imaging. CONCLUSION After successful application of radio-guided SNB and SPECT, innovation is leaning towards hybrid modalities, such as hybrid tracer and fusion of imaging approaches including SPECT/CT and PET/CT. Robotic surgery, as well as augmented reality and virtual reality techniques, is leading to application of these innovative technologies to the clinical setting, guiding surgeons towards a precise, personalised, and minimally invasive approach.

Abstract
Folate receptor α (FR) was discovered many decades ago, along with drugs that target intracellular folate metabolism, such as pemetrexed and methotrexate. Folate is taken up by the cell via this receptor, which also targeted by many cancer agents due to the over-expression of the receptor by cancer cells. FR is a membrane-bound glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor glycoprotein encoded by the folate receptor 1 (FOLR1) gene. FR plays a significant role in DNA synthesis, cell proliferation, DNA repair, and intracellular signaling, all of which are essential for tumorigenesis. FR is more prevalent in cancer cells compared to normal tissues, which makes it an excellent target for oncologic therapeutics. FRα is found in many cancer types, including ovarian cancer, non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and colon cancer. FR is widely used in antibody drug conjugates, small-molecule-drug conjugates, and chimeric antigen-receptor T cells. Current oncolytic therapeutics include mirvetuximab soravtansine, and ongoing clinical trials are underway to investigate chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T cells) and vaccines. Additionally, FRα has been used in a myriad of other applications, including as a tool in the identification of tumor types, and as a prognostic marker, as a surrogate of chemotherapy resistance. As such, FRα identification has become an essential part of precision medicine.

Abstract
Treatment options for ovarian cancer patients are limited, and a high unmet clinical need remains for targeted and long-lasting, efficient drugs. Genetically modified T cells expressing chimeric antigen receptors (CAR), are promising new drugs that can be directed towards a defined target and have shown efficient, as well as persisting, anti-tumor responses in many patients. We sought to develop novel CAR T cells targeting ovarian cancer and to assess these candidates preclinically. First, we identified potential CAR targets on ovarian cancer samples. We confirmed high and consistent expressions of the tumor-associated antigen FOLR1 on primary ovarian cancer samples. Subsequently, we designed a series of CAR T cell candidates against the identified target and demonstrated their functionality against ovarian cancer cell lines in vitro and in an in vivo xenograft model. Finally, we performed additional in vitro assays recapitulating immune suppressive mechanisms present in solid tumors and developed a process for the automated manufacturing of our CAR T cell candidate. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of anti-FOLR1 CAR T cells for ovarian cancer and potentially other FOLR1-expressing tumors.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a novel class of targeted cancer therapies with the ability to selectively deliver a cytotoxic drug to a tumor cell using a monoclonal antibody linked to a cytotoxic payload. The technology of ADCs allows for tumor-specificity, improved efficacy, and decreased toxicity compared to standard chemotherapy. Common toxicities associated with ADC use include ocular, pulmonary, hematologic, and neurologic toxicities. Several ADCs have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the management of patients with recurrent or metastatic gynecologic cancers, a population with poor outcomes and limited effective treatment options. The first FDA-approved ADC for recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer was tisotumab vedotin, a tissue factor-targeting agent, after demonstrating response in the innovaTV 204 trial. Mirvetuximab soravtansine targets folate receptor alpha and is approved for use in patients with folate receptor alpha-positive, platinum-resistant, epithelial ovarian cancer based on results from the SORAYA trial. While there are no FDA-approved ADCs for the treatment of uterine cancer, trastuzumab deruxtecan, an anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) agent, is actively being investigated. In this review, we will describe the structure and mechanism of action of ADCs, discuss their toxicity profiles, review ADCs both approved and under investigation for the management of gynecologic cancers, and discuss mechanisms of ADC resistance.

Rational design of NIR-II molecule-engineered nanoplatform for preoperative downstaging and imaging-guided surgery of orthotopic hepatic tumor. J Nanobiotechnology 2023; 21:489.

Abstract
Orthotopic advanced hepatic tumor resection without precise location and preoperative downstaging may cause clinical postoperative recurrence and metastasis. Early accurate monitoring and tumor size reduction based on the multifunctional diagnostic-therapeutic integration platform could improve real-time imaging-guided resection efficacy. Here, a Near-Infrared II/Photoacoustic Imaging/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (NIR-II/PAI/MRI) organic nanoplatform IRFEP-FA-DOTA-Gd (IFDG) is developed for integrated diagnosis and treatment of orthotopic hepatic tumor. The IFDG is designed rationally based on the core "S-D-A-D-S" NIR-II probe IRFEP modified with folic acid (FA) for active tumor targeting and Gd-DOTA agent for MR imaging. The IFDG exhibits several advantages, including efficient tumor tissue accumulation, good tumor margin imaging effect, and excellent photothermal conversion effect. Therefore, the IFDG could realize accurate long-term monitoring and photothermal therapy non-invasively of the hepatic tumor to reduce its size. Next, the complete resection of the hepatic tumor in situ lesions could be realized by the intraoperative real-time NIR-II imaging guidance. Notably, the preoperative downstaging strategy is confirmed to lower the postoperative recurrence rate of the liver cancer patients under middle and advanced stage effectively with fewer side effects. Overall, the designed nanoplatform demonstrates great potential as a diagnostic-therapeutic integration platform for precise imaging-guided surgical navigation of orthotopic hepatic tumors with a low recurrence rate after surgery, providing a paradigm for diagnosing and treating the advanced tumors in the future clinical translation application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx (MIRV), a first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate targeting folate receptor α (FRα), is approved for the treatment of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer in the United States. METHODS We conducted a phase 3, global, confirmatory, open-label, randomized, controlled trial to compare the efficacy and safety of MIRV with the investigator's choice of chemotherapy in the treatment of platinum-resistant, high-grade serous ovarian cancer. Participants who had previously received one to three lines of therapy and had high FRα tumor expression (≥75% of cells with ≥2+ staining intensity) were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive MIRV (6 mg per kilogram of adjusted ideal body weight every 3 weeks) or chemotherapy (paclitaxel, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, or topotecan). The primary end point was investigator-assessed progression-free survival; key secondary analytic end points included objective response, overall survival, and participant-reported outcomes. RESULTS A total of 453 participants underwent randomization; 227 were assigned to the MIRV group and 226 to the chemotherapy group. The median progression-free survival was 5.62 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.34 to 5.95) with MIRV and 3.98 months (95% CI, 2.86 to 4.47) with chemotherapy (P<0.001). An objective response occurred in 42.3% of the participants in the MIRV group and in 15.9% of those in the chemotherapy group (odds ratio, 3.81; 95% CI, 2.44 to 5.94; P<0.001). Overall survival was significantly longer with MIRV than with chemotherapy (median, 16.46 months vs. 12.75 months; hazard ratio for death, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.50 to 0.89; P = 0.005). During the treatment period, fewer adverse events of grade 3 or higher occurred with MIRV than with chemotherapy (41.7% vs. 54.1%), as did serious adverse events of any grade (23.9% vs. 32.9%) and events leading to discontinuation (9.2% vs. 15.9%). CONCLUSIONS Among participants with platinum-resistant, FRα-positive ovarian cancer, treatment with MIRV showed a significant benefit over chemotherapy with respect to progression-free and overall survival and objective response.

Abstract
As the most lethal gynecologic oncological indication, carcinoma of the ovary has been ranked as the 5th cause of cancer-related mortality in women, with a high percentage of the patients being diagnosed at late stages of the disease and a five-year survival of ~ 30%. Ovarian cancer patients conventionally undergo surgery for tumor removal followed by platinum- or taxane-based chemotherapy; however, a high percentage of patients experience tumor relapse. Cancer immunotherapy has been regarded as a silver lining in the treatment of patients with various immunological or oncological indications; however, mirvetuximab soravtansine (a folate receptor α-specific mAb) and bevacizumab (a VEGF-A-specific mAb) are the only immunotherapeutics approved for the treatment of ovarian cancer patients. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has achieved tremendous clinical success in the treatment of patients with certain B-cell lymphomas and leukemias, as well as multiple myeloma. In the context of solid tumors, CAR-T therapies face serious obstacles that limit their therapeutic benefit. Such hindrances include the immunosuppressive nature of solid tumors, impaired tumor infiltration, lack of qualified tumor-associated antigens, and compromised stimulation and persistence of CAR-Ts following administration. Over the past years, researchers have made arduous attempts to apply CAR-T therapy to ovarian cancer. In this review, we outline the principles of CAR-T therapy and then highlight its limitations in the context of solid tumors. Ultimately, we focus on preclinical and clinical findings achieved in CAR-T-mediated targeting of different ovarian cancer-associated target antigens.

Abstract
Ovarian carcinoma is characterized by heterogeneity at the molecular, cellular and anatomical levels, both spatially and temporally. This heterogeneity affects response to surgery and/or systemic therapy, and also facilitates inherent and acquired drug resistance. As a consequence, this tumour type is often aggressive and frequently lethal. Ovarian carcinoma is not a single disease entity and comprises various subtypes, each with distinct complex molecular landscapes that change during progression and therapy. The interactions of cancer and stromal cells within the tumour microenvironment further affects disease evolution and response to therapy. In past decades, researchers have characterized the cellular, molecular, microenvironmental and immunological heterogeneity of ovarian carcinoma. Traditional treatment approaches have considered ovarian carcinoma as a single entity. This landscape is slowly changing with the increasing appreciation of heterogeneity and the recognition that delivering ineffective therapies can delay the development of effective personalized approaches as well as potentially change the molecular and cellular characteristics of the tumour, which might lead to additional resistance to subsequent therapy. In this Review we discuss the heterogeneity of ovarian carcinoma, outline the current treatment landscape for this malignancy and highlight potentially effective therapeutic strategies in development.

Lineage specific extracellular vesicle-associated protein biomarkers for the early detection of high grade serous ovarian cancer. Sci Rep 2023; 13:18341. [PMID: 37884576 PMCID: PMC10603107 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-44050-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
High grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) accounts for ~ 70% of ovarian cancer cases. Non-invasive, highly specific blood-based tests for pre-symptomatic screening in women are crucial to reducing the mortality associated with this disease. Since most HGSOCs typically arise from the fallopian tubes (FT), our biomarker search focused on proteins found on the surface of extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by both FT and HGSOC tissue explants and representative cell lines. Using mass spectrometry, 985 EV proteins (exo-proteins) were identified that comprised the FT/HGSOC EV core proteome. Transmembrane exo-proteins were prioritized because these could serve as antigens for capture and/or detection. With a nano-engineered microfluidic platform, six newly discovered exo-proteins (ACSL4, IGSF8, ITGA2, ITGA5, ITGB3, MYOF) plus a known HGSOC associated protein, FOLR1 exhibited classification performance ranging from 85 to 98% in a case-control study using plasma samples representative of early (including stage IA/B) and late stage (stage III) HGSOCs. Furthermore, by a linear combination of IGSF8 and ITGA5 based on logistic regression analysis, we achieved a sensitivity of 80% with 99.8% specificity and a positive predictive value of 13.8%. Importantly, these exo-proteins also can accurately discriminate between ovarian and 12 types of cancers commonly diagnosed in women. Our studies demonstrate that these lineage-associated exo-biomarkers can detect ovarian cancer with high specificity and sensitivity early and potentially while localized to the FT when patient outcomes are more favorable.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC) is highly lethal due to late detection and frequent recurrence. Initial treatments, comprising surgery and chemotherapy, lead to disease remission but are invariably associated with subsequent relapse. The identification of novel therapies and an improved understanding of the molecular and cellular characteristics of OC are urgently needed. Here, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of primary tumor cells and their microenvironment from 16 chemonaive and 10 recurrent OC patient samples. Profiling OC tumor biomarkers allowed for the identification of potential molecular targets for developing immunotherapies, while profiling the microenvironment yielded insights into its cellular composition and property changes between chemonaive and recurrent samples. Notably, we identified CD1d as a biomarker of the OC microenvironment and demonstrated its targeting by invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells. Overall, our study presents a comprehensive immuno-profiling of OC tumor and microenvironment during disease progression, guiding the development of immunotherapies for OC treatment, especially for recurrent disease.

Abstract
On November 14, 2022, the FDA granted accelerated approval to mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx for treatment of adult patients with folate receptor-α (FRα)-positive, platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who have received one to three prior systemic therapies. The VENTANA FOLR1 (FOLR-2.1) RxDx Assay was approved as a companion diagnostic device to select patients for this indication. Approval was based on Study 0417 (SORAYA, NCT04296890), a single-arm, multicenter trial. In 104 patients with measurable disease who received mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx, the overall response rate was 31.7% [95% confidence interval (CI), 22.9-41.6] with a median duration of response of 6.9 months (95% CI, 5.6-9.7). Ocular toxicity was included as a Boxed Warning in the U.S. Prescribing Information (USPI) to alert providers of the risks of developing severe ocular toxicity including vision impairment and corneal disorders. Pneumonitis and peripheral neuropathy were additional important safety risks included as Warnings and Precautions in the USPI. This is the first approval of a targeted therapy for FRα-positive, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and the first antibody-drug conjugate approved for ovarian cancer. This article summarizes the favorable benefit-risk assessment leading to FDA's approval of mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx.

Abstract
Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are a new class of targeted anti-cancer therapies that combine a monoclonal tumor surface receptor-targeting antibody with a highly cytotoxic molecule payload. They enable delivery of cytotoxic therapy more directly to tumor cells and minimize delivery to healthy tissues. This review summarizes the existing literature about ADC therapies approved for use in gynecologic malignancies, relevant preclinical studies, as well as ongoing clinical trials.

Reprod Biol Endocrinol 2023; 21:75. [PMID: 37612696 PMCID: PMC10464441 DOI: 10.1186/s12958-023-01125-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically identify and narratively synthesize the evidence surrounding liposomal delivery of gene therapy and the outcome for ovarian cancer. METHODS An electronic database search of the Embase, MEDLINE and Web of Science from inception until July 7, 2023, was conducted to identify primary studies that investigated the effect of liposomal delivery of gene therapy on ovarian cancer outcomes. Retrieved studies were assessed against the eligibility criteria for inclusion. RESULTS The search yielded 564 studies, of which 75 met the inclusion criteria. Four major types of liposomes were identified: cationic, neutral, polymer-coated, and ligand-targeted liposomes. The liposome with the most evidence involved cationic liposomes which are characterized by their positively charged phospholipids (n = 37, 49.3%). Similarly, those with neutrally charged phospholipids, such as 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine, were highly researched as well (n = 25, 33.3%). Eight areas of gene therapy research were identified, evaluating either target proteins/transcripts or molecular pathways: microRNAs, ephrin type-A receptor 2 (EphA2), interleukins, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), human-telomerase reverse transcriptase/E1A (hTERT/EA1), suicide gene, p53, and multidrug resistance mutation 1 (MDR1). CONCLUSION Liposomal delivery of gene therapy for ovarian cancer shows promise in many in vivo studies. Emerging polymer-coated and ligand-targeted liposomes have been gaining interest as they have been shown to have more stability and specificity. We found that gene therapy involving microRNAs was the most frequently studied. Overall, liposomal genetic therapy has been shown to reduce tumor size and weight and improve survivability. More research involving the delivery and targets of gene therapy for ovarian cancer may be a promising avenue to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Curcumin is widely used as a therapeutic drug for cancer treatment. However, its limited absorption and rapid excretion are the major therapeutic limitations to its clinical use. Using niosomes as a curcumin delivery system is a cheap, easy, and less toxic strategy for enhancing the absorption of curcumin by cells and delaying its excretion. Thus, there is a vital need to explore curcumin niosomes to configure the curcumin to suitably serve and aid current pharmacokinetics in treatments for cancer. To date, no comprehensive review has focused on the cytotoxic effects of curcumin niosomes on malignant cells. Thus, this review provides a critical analysis of the curcumin niosomes in cancer treatment, formulations of curcumin niosomes, characterizations of curcumin niosomes, and factors influencing their performance. The findings from this review article can strongly accelerate the understanding of curcumin niosomes and pave a brighter direction towards advances in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical industries.

Abstract
Fluorescent optical imaging is becoming an increasingly attractive imaging tool that physicians can utilise as it can detect previously 'unseen' changes in tissue at a cellular level that are consistent with disease. This is possible using a range of fluorescently labelled imaging agents that, once excited by specific wavelengths of light, can illuminate damaged and diseased tissues. For surgeons, such agents can permit dynamic, intraoperative imaging providing a real-time guide as they resect diseased tissue.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the second leading cause of death from gynecologic malignancies worldwide. Management of platinum-resistant disease is challenging and clinical outcomes with standard chemotherapy are poor. Over the past decades, significant efforts have been made to understand drug resistance and develop strategies to overcome treatment failure. Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are a rapidly growing class of oncologic therapeutics, which combine the ability to target tumor-specific antigens with the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy. Mirvetuximab soravtansine is an ADC comprising an IgG1 monoclonal antibody against the folate receptor alpha (FRα) conjugated to the cytotoxic maytansinoid effector molecule DM4 that has shown promising clinical activity in patients with FR-α-positive ovarian cancer. This review summarizes current evidence of mirvetuximab soravtansine in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, focusing on clinical activity, toxicity, and future directions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mirvetuximab soravtansine (mirvetuximab) is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC) comprised of a humanized folate receptor alpha (FRα)-binding monoclonal antibody attached via a cleavable linker to the cytotoxic maytansinoid molecule, DM4. FRα is expressed in several epithelial cancers, including high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). Mirvetuximab received accelerated approval by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in November 2022 based on the results of the SORAYA trial, which tested mirvetuximab for the treatment of patients with recurrent platinum resistant HGSOC with high FRα expression and showed an overall response rate (ORR) of 32.4% and a median duration of response of 6.9 months. Mirvetuximab toxicities included low grade ocular and gastrointestinal toxicities. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) ovarian cancer 2023 guidelines adopted mirvetuximab as 2A, and mirvetuximab combined with bevacizumab as 2B, recommendations. AREAS COVERED This manuscript will review the preclinical and clinical development of mirvetuximab, the toxicities associated with mirvetuximab and mitigation strategies, and future applications of mirvetuximab. EXPERT OPINION Mirvetuximab represents the first biomarker-directed therapy with an indication specifically for the treatment of PROC. The efficacy and favorable safety profile support further development of mirvetuximab and mirvetuximab combinations in platinum sensitive and newly diagnosed ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynaecological malignancy, and despite advancements in therapeutics, most women unfortunately still succumb to their disease. Immunotherapies, in particular immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), have been therapeutically transformative in many tumour types, including gynaecological malignancies such as cervical and endometrial cancer. Unfortunately, these therapeutic successes have not been mirrored in ovarian cancer clinical studies. This review provides an overview of the ovarian tumour microenvironment (TME), particularly factors associated with survival, and explores current research into immunotherapeutic strategies in EOC, with an exploratory focus on novel therapeutics in navigating drug resistance.

Abstract
Increasing proteomic studies focused on epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) have attempted to identify early disease biomarkers, establish molecular stratification, and discover novel druggable targets. Here we review these recent studies from a clinical perspective. Multiple blood proteins have been used clinically as diagnostic markers. The ROMA test integrates CA125 and HE4, while the OVA1 and OVA2 tests analyze multiple proteins identified by proteomics. Targeted proteomics has been widely used to identify and validate potential diagnostic biomarkers in EOCs, but none has yet been approved for clinical adoption. Discovery proteomic characterization of bulk EOC tissue specimens has uncovered a large number of dysregulated proteins, proposed new stratification schemes, and revealed novel targets of therapeutic potential. A major hurdle facing clinical translation of these stratification schemes based on bulk proteomic profiling is intra-tumor heterogeneity, namely that single tumor specimens may harbor molecular features of multiple subtypes. We reviewed over 2500 interventional clinical trials of ovarian cancers since 1990, and cataloged 22 types of interventions adopted in these trials. Among 1418 clinical trials which have been completed or are not recruiting new patients, about 50% investigated chemotherapies. Thirty-seven clinical trials are at phase 3 or 4, of which 12 focus on PARP, 10 on VEGFR, 9 on conventional anti-cancer agents, and the remaining on sex hormones, MEK1/2, PD-L1, ERBB, and FRα. Although none of the foregoing therapeutic targets were discovered by proteomics, newer targets discovered by proteomics, including HSP90 and cancer/testis antigens, are being tested also in clinical trials. To accelerate the translation of proteomic findings to clinical practice, future studies need to be designed and executed to the stringent standards of practice-changing clinical trials. We anticipate that the rapidly evolving technology of spatial and single-cell proteomics will deconvolute the intra-tumor heterogeneity of EOCs, further facilitating their precise stratification and superior treatment outcomes.

Abstract
High grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) accounts for ~ 70% of ovarian cancer cases. Non-invasive, highly specific blood-based tests for pre-symptomatic screening in women are crucial to reducing the mortality associated with this disease. Since most HGSOCs typically arise from the fallopian tubes (FT), our biomarker search focused on proteins found on the surface of extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by both FT and HGSOC tissue explants and representative cell lines. Using mass spectrometry, 985 EV proteins (exo-proteins) were identified that comprised the FT/HGSOC EV core proteome. Transmembrane exo-proteins were prioritized because these could serve as antigens for capture and/or detection. With a nano-engineered microfluidic platform, six newly discovered exo-proteins (ACSL4, IGSF8, ITGA2, ITGA5, ITGB3, MYOF) plus a known HGSOC associated protein, FOLR1 exhibited classification performance ranging from 85-98% in a case-control study using plasma samples representative of early (including stage IA/B) and late stage (stage III) HGSOCs. Furthermore, by linear combination of IGSF8 and ITGA5 based on logistic regression analysis, we achieved a sensitivity of 80% (99.8% specificity). These lineage-associated exo-biomarkers have potential to detect cancer while localized to the FT when patient outcomes are more favorable.

Abstract
Relatively low catalytic activity and poor targeting limit the applications of nanoceria (CeO2) nanozymes in the treatment of tumors. Here, we designed a unique pushpin-like Au/CeO2 hybrid nanozyme with high catalytic activity by combining site-selective growth and steric restriction strategies. The enhanced enzyme activity was attributed to plasmon-induced hot electrons. Furthermore, the pushpin-like structure facilitated targeting molecule modification. The nanozyme exhibited superior antitumor effects both in vitro and in vivo due to its high catalytic activity and targeting effects. Importantly, its potential mechanism of anti-tumor therapy was studied by quantitative proteomics. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by folic acid-PEG thiol-Au/CeO2 (FA-Au/CeO2) caused mitochondrial and proteasomal damage in tumor cells and further evoked a response to oxidative stress and innate immunity in vivo. This study provided a spatiotemporal approach to enhance the antitumor activity of nanozymes by structural design. The designed pushpin-like Au/CeO2 could be utilized as a multifunctional nanoplatform for in vitro and in vivo plasmon-enhanced cancer therapy with active targeting effects. Moreover, this study systematically explored the anti-tumor mechanism of the nanozyme in both cell and mouse models, promoting its translation to the clinic. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: A strategy combining the principles of site-selective growth and steric restriction was developed to prepare a unique pushpin-like Au/CeO2 hybrid nanozyme with high catalytic activity and low steric hindrance. The hybrid nanozyme showed superior antitumor activity at both the cellular and tissue levels. Furthermore, the antitumor mechanism was investigated in terms of the differential proteins and their pathways using quantitative proteomics, thus promoting the translation of nanozymes to the clinic.

Abstract
STRO-002 is a novel homogeneous folate receptor alpha (FolRα) targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) currently being investigated in the clinic as a treatment for ovarian and endometrial cancers. Here, we describe the discovery, optimization, and antitumor properties of STRO-002. STRO-002 was generated by conjugation of a novel cleavable 3-aminophenyl hemiasterlin linker-warhead (SC239) to the nonnatural amino acid para-azidomethyl-L-phenylalanine incorporated at specific positions within a high affinity anti-FolRα antibody using Sutro's XpressCF+, which resulted in a homogeneous ADC with a drug-antibody ratio (DAR) of 4. STRO-002 binds to FolRα with high affinity, internalizes rapidly into target positive cells, and releases the tubulin-targeting cytotoxin 3-aminophenyl hemiasterlin (SC209). SC209 has reduced potential for drug efflux via P-glycoprotein 1 drug pump compared with other tubulin-targeting payloads. While STRO-002 lacks nonspecific cytotoxicity toward FolRα-negative cell lines, bystander killing of target negative cells was observed when cocultured with target positive cells. STRO-002 is stable in circulation with no change in DAR for up to 21 days and has a half-life of 6.4 days in mice. A single dose of STRO-002 induced significant tumor growth inhibition in FolRα-expressing xenograft models and patient-derived xenograft models. In addition, combination treatment with carboplatin or Avastin further increased STRO-002 efficacy in xenograft models. The potent and specific preclinical efficacy of STRO-002 supports clinical development of STRO-002 for treating patients with FolRα-expressing cancers, including ovarian, endometrial, and non-small cell lung cancer. Phase I dose escalation for STRO-002 is in progress in ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer patients (NCT03748186 and NCT05200364).

Abstract
Folate is a B vitamin necessary for basic biological functions, including rapid cell turnover occurring in cancer cell proliferation. Though the role of folate as a causative versus protective agent in carcinogenesis is debated, several studies have indicated that the folate receptor (FR), notably subtype folate receptor alpha (FRα), could be a viable biomarker for diagnosis, progression, and prognosis. Several cancers, including gastrointestinal, gynecological, breast, lung, and squamous cell head and neck cancers overexpress FR and are currently under investigation to correlate receptor status to disease state. Traditional chemotherapies have included antifolate medications, such as methotrexate and pemetrexed, which generate anticancer activity during the synthesis phase of the cell cycle. Increasingly, the repertoire of pharmacotherapies is expanding to include FR as a target, with a heterogenous pool of directed therapies. Here we discuss the FR, expression and effect in cancer biology, and relevant pharmacologic inhibitors.

Mol Imaging Biol 2023; 25:144-155. [PMID: 34888759 PMCID: PMC9971101 DOI: 10.1007/s11307-021-01685-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2021] [Revised: 11/09/2021] [Accepted: 11/11/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Fluorescence imaging (FLI) using targeted near-infrared (NIR) conjugates aids the detection of tumour lesions pre- and intraoperatively. The optimisation of tumour visualisation and contrast is essential and can be achieved through high tumour-specificity and low background signal. However, the choice of fluorophore is recognised to alter biodistribution and clearance of conjugates and is therefore a determining factor in the specificity of target binding. Although ZW800-1, IRDye® 800CW and ICG are the most commonly employed NIR fluorophores in clinical settings, the fluorophore with optimal in vivo characteristics has yet to be determined. Therefore, we aimed to characterise the impact the choice of fluorophore has on the biodistribution, specificity and contrast, by comparing five different NIR fluorophores conjugated to folate, in an ovarian cancer model. PROCEDURES ZW800-1, ZW800-1 Forte, IRDye® 800CW, ICG-OSu and an in-house synthesised Cy7 derivative were conjugated to folate through an ethylenediamine linker resulting in conjugates 1-5, respectively. The optical properties of all conjugates were determined by spectroscopy, the specificity was assessed in vitro by flow cytometry and FLI, and the biodistribution was studied in vivo and ex vivo in a subcutaneous Skov-3 ovarian cancer model. RESULTS We demonstrated time- and receptor-dependent binding of folate conjugates in vitro and in vivo. Healthy tissue clearance characteristics and tumour-specific signal varied between conjugates 1-5. ZW800-1 Forte (2) revealed the highest contrast in folate receptor alpha (FRα)-positive xenografts and showed statistically significant target specificity. While conjugates 1, 2 and 3 are renally cleared, hepatobiliary excretion and no or very low accumulation in tumours was observed for 4 and 5. CONCLUSIONS The choice of fluorophore has a significant impact on the biodistribution and tumour contrast. ZW800-1 Forte (2) exhibited the best properties of those tested, with significant specific fluorescence signal.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a new class of drugs that combine a surface receptor-targeting antibody linked to a cytotoxic molecule delivering the potent cytotoxic payload directly to tumor cells. This review summarizes the current literature demonstrating their use in the treatment of gynecologic malignancies. RECENT FINDINGS Tisotumab vedotin is the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved ADC for the treatment of gynecologic cancers. While in the phase 3 randomized controlled trial in platinum resistant ovarian cancer patients, FORWARD 1, mirvetuximab did not meet its primary endpoint of progression-free survival. But we await more recent data from the two ongoing phase 3 trials of mirvetuximab in recurrent ovarian cancer patients. HER2/neu, Napi2b, mesothelin, and human trophoblast cell-surface marker (Trop-2) overexpression have also been exploited as excellent targets by novel ADCs in multiple tumors including ovarian, endometrial, and cervical cancers. SUMMARY Current evidence strongly supports the use of ADCs and ongoing clinical trials will provide further information into the potential of making these drugs part of current standard practice allowing patients to be treated with a higher level of personalized cancer care.

A Phase III Study of Pafolacianine Injection (OTL38) for Intraoperative Imaging of Folate Receptor-Positive Ovarian Cancer (Study 006). J Clin Oncol 2023; 41:276-284. [PMID: 36070540 DOI: 10.1200/jco.22.00291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 32.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2022] [Revised: 06/06/2022] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The adjunctive use of intraoperative molecular imaging (IMI) is gaining acceptance as a potential means to improve outcomes for surgical resection of targetable tumors. This confirmatory study examined the use of pafolacianine for real-time detection of folate receptor-positive ovarian cancer. METHODS This phase III, open-label, 11-center study included subjects with known or suspected ovarian cancer, scheduled to undergo cytoreductive surgery. The objectives were to confirm safety and efficacy of pafolacianine (0.025 mg/kg IV), given ≥ 1 hour before intraoperative near-infrared imaging to detect macroscopic lesions not detected by palpation and normal white light. RESULTS From March 2018 through April 2020, 150 patients received a single infusion of pafolacianine (safety analysis set); 109 patients with folate receptor-positive ovarian cancer comprised the full analysis set for efficacy. In 33.0% of patients (95% CI, 24.3 to 42.7; P < .001), pafolacianine with near-infrared imaging identified additional cancer on tissue not planned for resection and not detected by white light assessment and palpation, exceeding the prespecified threshold of 10%. Among patients who underwent interval debulking surgery, the rate was 39.7% (95% CI, 27.0 to 53.4; P < .001). The sensitivity to detect ovarian cancer was 83%, and the patient false-positive rate was 24.8%. Investigators reported achieving complete R0 resection in 62.4% (68 of 109) of patients. Drug-related adverse events were reported by 30% of patients (45 of 150) and most commonly included nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. No drug-related serious adverse events or deaths were reported. CONCLUSION This phase III study of pafolacianine met its primary efficacy end point, identifying additional cancers not otherwise identified or planned for resection. Pafolacianine may offer an important real-time adjunct to current surgical approaches for ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains a threatening disease due to severe complications, drug resistance, and high recurrence rates. Many drug combinations have demonstrated enhanced therapeutic effects in clinical practice. However, it requires complicated dosing regimens and is accompanied by increased toxicity. This study explored the combined effect of two therapeutic agents, daunorubicin (DNR) and homoharringtonine (HHT) in cell viability, apoptosis, and cell cycle in vitro and verified their synergistic effect. We encapsulated the two drugs into liposomes to construct a folic acid-modified co-delivery system (FA-DH-LP) to achieve an effective and safe therapeutic strategy. The FA-DH-LP was prepared by film hydration method. The resultant FA-DH-LP was homogeneously spherical and showed good blood compatibility with high encapsulation efficiency for DNR and HHT. The FA-DH-LP exhibited higher cellular uptake in HL60 and K562 cells and enhanced cytotoxicity than DNR/HHT co-delivery liposomes without folic acid modification (DH-LP) in vitro. In the HL60 subcutaneous xenotransplantation model, FA-DH-LP showed improved tumor targeting ability, anti-leukemia activity and safety profile superior to free combinational drugs and DH-LP after 18-day treatment. The results demonstrated that FA-DH-LP might present a promising delivery strategy to improve the efficacy of the two combinational chemotherapeutics while reducing toxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survival rates for ovarian cancer remain poor, and monitoring and prediction of therapeutic response may benefit from additional markers. Ovarian cancers frequently overexpress Folate Receptor alpha (FRα) and the soluble receptor (sFRα) is measurable in blood. Here we investigated sFRα as a potential biomarker. METHODS We evaluated sFRα longitudinally, before and during neo-adjuvant, adjuvant and palliative therapies, and tumour FRα expression status by immunohistrochemistry. The impact of free FRα on the efficacy of anti-FRα treatments was evaluated by an antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity assay. RESULTS Membrane and/or cytoplasmic FRα staining were observed in 52.7% tumours from 316 ovarian cancer patients with diverse histotypes. Circulating sFRα levels were significantly higher in patients, compared to healthy volunteers, specifically in patients sampled prior to neoadjuvant and palliative treatments. sFRα was associated with FRα cell membrane expression in the tumour. sFRα levels decreased alongside concurrent tumour burden in patients receiving standard therapies. High concentrations of sFRα partly reduced anti-FRα antibody tumour cell killing, an effect overcome by increased antibody doses. CONCLUSIONS sFRα may present a non-invasive marker for tumour FRα expression, with the potential for monitoring patient response to treatment. Larger, prospective studies should evaluate FRα for assessing disease burden and response to systemic treatments.

Abstract
Background Ovary is a common organ site involved by endometriosis. We previously found that fallopian tube may contribute to the histogenesis of ovarian endometriosis. The finding was novel and requires further studies. We addressed this issue by examining a differentially expressed gene folate receptor alpha (FOLR1) and its protein (FRA) in this study. Results A total of 144 tissue samples were studied. These included 32-paired tubal-endometrial-ovarian endometriosis samples (n = 96), 18 samples of ovarian endometriosis without corresponding fallopian tube or endometrium, and 30 ovarian tissue samples with ovarian surface epithelia but without endometriosis. Multiple comparisons among groups of ovarian endometriosis, normal fallopian tube and benign endometrium were performed. FOLR1 was highly expressed in the epithelia of fallopian tube and ovarian endometriosis, with paired endometrial samples showing a significantly lower level of expression. Similar differential studies for FRA protein were performed through Western blot and immunohistochemistry (IHC). The expression of folate receptor alpha at both mRNA and protein levels in the tissues (fallopian tube or ovarian endometriosis vs. the endometrium) were significantly different (p < 0.001). All ovarian surface mesothelial epithelia showed negative expression of FRA by IHC. Conclusion The results further support that the fallopian tube may contribute to the development of ovarian endometriosis. Understanding the tubal contribution to ovarian endometriosis should ultimately contribute to ongoing investigative efforts aimed at identifying alternative ways to prevent and treat endometriosis. High level of FRA expression in the fallopian tube and endometriosis might be considered as potential tissue sites for targeted therapy.

Intraoperative Tumor Detection Using Pafolacianine. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232112842.

Abstract
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, with increasing numbers of new cases each year. For the vast majority of cancer patients, surgery is the most effective procedure for the complete removal of the malignant tissue. However, relapse due to the incomplete resection of the tumor occurs very often, as the surgeon must rely primarily on visual and tactile feedback. Intraoperative near-infrared imaging with pafolacianine is a newly developed technology designed for cancer detection during surgery, which has been proven to show excellent results in terms of safety and efficacy. Therefore, pafolacianine was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 29 November 2021, as an additional approach that can be used to identify malignant lesions and to ensure the total resection of the tumors in ovarian cancer patients. Currently, various studies have demonstrated the positive effects of pafolacianine’s use in a wide variety of other malignancies, with promising results expected in further research. This review focuses on the applications of the FDA-approved pafolacianine for the accurate intraoperative detection of malignant tissues. The cancer-targeting fluorescent ligands can shift the paradigm of surgical oncology by enabling the visualization of cancer lesions that are difficult to detect by inspection or palpation. The enhanced detection and removal of hard-to-detect cancer tissues during surgery will lead to remarkable outcomes for cancer patients and society, specifically by decreasing the cancer relapse rate, increasing the life expectancy and quality of life, and decreasing future rates of hospitalization, interventions, and costs.

Abstract
Despite its common side effects and varying degrees of therapeutic success, chemotherapy remains the gold standard method for treatment of cancer. Towards developing a new therapeutic approach, we have engineered nanoparticles derived from erythrocytes that contain indocyanine green as a photo-activated agent that enables near infrared photothermal heating, and doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) as a chemotherapeutic drug. We hypothesize that milliseconds pulsed laser irradiation results in rapid heating and photo-triggered release of DOX, providing a dual photo-chemo therapeutic mechanism for tumor destruction. Additionally, the surface of the nanoparticles is functionalized with folate to target the folate receptor-α on tumor cells to further enhance the therapeutic efficacy. Using non-contract infrared radiometry and absorption spectroscopy, we have characterized the photothermal response and photostability of the nanoparticles to pulsed laser irradiation. Our in vitro studies show that these nanoparticles can mediate photo-chemo killing of SKOV3 ovarian cancer cells when activated by pulsed laser irradiation. We further demonstrate that this dual photo-chemo therapeutic approach is effective in reducing the volume of tumor implants in mice and elicits an apoptotic response. This treatment modality presents a promising approach in destruction of small tumor nodules.

Abstract
The use of T-cell engagers (TCEs) to treat solid tumors is challenging, and several have been limited by narrow therapeutic windows due to substantial on-target, off-tumor toxicities due to the expression of low levels of target antigens on healthy tissues. Here, we describe TNB-928B, a fully human TCE that has a bivalent binding arm for folate receptor alpha (FRα) to selectively target FRα overexpressing tumor cells while avoiding the lysis of cells with low levels of FRα expression. The bivalent design of the FRα binding arm confers tumor selectivity due to low-affinity but high-avidity binding to high FRα antigen density cells. TNB-928B induces preferential effector T-cell activation, proliferation, and selective cytotoxic activity on high FRα expressing cells while sparing low FRα expressing cells. In addition, TNB-928B induces minimal cytokine release compared to a positive control TCE containing OKT3. Moreover, TNB-928B exhibits substantial ex vivo tumor cell lysis using endogenous T-cells and robust tumor clearance in vivo, promoting T-cell infiltration and antitumor activity in mouse models of ovarian cancer. TNB-928B exhibits pharmacokinetics similar to conventional antibodies, which are projected to enable favorable administration in humans. TNB-928B is a novel TCE with enhanced safety and specificity for the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Current Therapeutic modalities provide no survival advantage to gastric cancer (GC) patients. Targeting the human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) is a viable therapeutic strategy against advanced HER-2 positive GC. Antibody-drug conjugates, small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), and bispecific antibodies are emerging as novel drug forms that may abrogate the resistance to HER-2-specific drugs and monoclonal antibodies. Chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cells (CAR-T) targeting HER-2 have shown considerable therapeutic potential in GC and other solid tumors. However, due to the high heterogeneity along with the complex tumor microenvironment (TME) of GC that often leads to immune escape, the immunological treatment of GC still faces many challenges. Here, we reviewed and discussed the current progress in the research of anti-HER-2-CAR-T cell immunotherapy against GC.

Abstract
Developing a cytosensing strategy based on electrochemical approaches has attracted wide interest due to the low cost, rapid response, and simple instrumentation. In this work, an electrochemical cytosensor employing the Pt@BSA nanocomposite as the biosensing substrate along with the covalent cross-linking of targeting molecules folic acid (FA) was constructed for highly sensitive determination of folate receptor (FR)-positive tumor cells. The prepared Pt@BSA nanocomposite revealed excellent biocompatibility for cell adhesion and proliferation, which was confirmed by cell viability evaluation using thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) colorimetric methods. Due to the satisfactory electrical conductivity originating from Pt@BSA and the high binding affinity of FA to FR on the cell surface, an ultrasensitive and specific cytosensing device was designed for rapid and quantitative determination of HeLa cells (a model system) by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) tests. This proposed cytosensor resulted in a wide HeLa cell determination range of 2.8 × 101-2.8 × 106 cells mL-1 with a low DPV detection limit of 9 cells mL-1. The developed cytosensing approach exhibited highly specific recognition of FR-positive tumor cells, excellent inter-assay reproducibility with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 4.7%, acceptable intra-assay precision, and favorable storage stability, expanding the application of electrochemical measurement technology in the biomedical field of early detection and diagnosis of cancers.

Abstract
Purpose Folate receptor alpha (FRα) is overexpressed in various cancer entities while expression in normal tissue is limited. Thus, FRα is an attractive target in cancer therapy. Currently, various therapeutic and diagnostic approaches are under investigation in clinical trials. The aim of this study was to assess the expression and clinical relevance of FRα in adenoid cystic carcinoma of the head and neck. Patients and Methods In this retrospective cohort study, 43 patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the head and neck were included. FRα expression was analyzed in tumor tissue and tumor-free margin in a tissue microarray using immunohistochemical staining. Protein levels were correlated with clinical parameters. Results FRα staining was positive in 47% of ACC patients. The tumor-free margin was positive in 22%. Patients with positive tumor tissue showed positive margin staining in 55%. FRα expression was not associated with the clinical parameters (sex, age, staging, grading, perineural invasion, lymphovascular invasion). Conclusion FRα expression is common in ACC of the head and neck. Therefore, FRα should be further evaluated as a therapeutic target in ACC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CA125 is the best available yet insufficiently sensitive biomarker for early detection of ovarian cancer. There is a need to identify novel biomarkers, which individually or in combination with CA125 can achieve adequate sensitivity and specificity for the detection of earlier-stage ovarian cancer. METHODS In the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort, we measured serum levels of 92 preselected proteins for 91 women who had blood sampled ≤18 months prior to ovarian cancer diagnosis, and 182 matched controls. We evaluated the discriminatory performance of the proteins as potential early diagnostic biomarkers of ovarian cancer. RESULTS Nine of the 92 markers; CA125, HE4, FOLR1, KLK11, WISP1, MDK, CXCL13, MSLN and ADAM8 showed an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of ≥0.70 for discriminating between women diagnosed with ovarian cancer and women who remained cancer-free. All, except ADAM8, had shown at least equal discrimination in previous case-control comparisons. The discrimination of the biomarkers, however, was low for the lag-time of >9-18 months and paired combinations of CA125 with any of the 8 markers did not improve discrimination compared to CA125 alone. CONCLUSION Using pre-diagnostic serum samples, this study identified markers with good discrimination for the lag-time of 0-9 months. However, the discrimination was low in blood samples collected more than 9 months prior to diagnosis, and none of the markers showed major improvement in discrimination when added to CA125.

Abstract
A homomultimeric radioligand is composed of multiple identical ligands connected to the linker and radionuclide to detect a variety of overexpressed receptors on cancer cells. Multimer strategy holds great potential for introducing new radiotracers based on peptide and monoclonal antibody (mAb) derivatives in molecular imaging and therapy. It offers a reliable procedure for the preparation of biological-based targeting with diverse affinities and pharmacokinetics. In this context, we provide a useful summary and interpretation of the main results by a comprehensive look at multimeric radiopharmaceuticals in nuclear oncology. Therefore, there will be explanations for the strategy mechanisms and the main variables affecting the biodistribution results. The discussion is followed by highlights of recent work in the targeting of various types of receptors. The consequences are expressed based on comparing some parameters between monomer and multimer counterparts in each relevant section.

Abstract
Folates are B vitamins that function in one-carbon metabolism. Folate receptors are one of three major types of folate transporters. The folate receptors FOLR1 and FOLR2 are overexpressed in multiple cancers. The overexpression of FOLR1 is often associated with increased cancer progression and poor patient prognosis. There is emerging evidence that FOLR1 is involved in signaling pathways that are independent of one-carbon metabolism. Recent publications implicate a direct role of FOLR1 in three signaling pathways: JAK-STAT3, ERK1/2, and as a transcription factor. Six other signaling pathways have been proposed to include FOLR1, but these currently lack sufficient data to infer a direct signaling role for FOLR1. We discuss the data that support noncanonical roles for FOLR1, and its limitations.
