Investigational Rinatabart Sesutecan (Rina-S®) Continues to Show Encouraging Antitumor Activity in Patients with Advanced Ovarian Cancer
Genmab A/S (Nasdaq: GMAB) announced today updated data from cohort B1 of the Phase 1/2 RAINFOL-01 study of rinatabart sesutecan (Rina-S®), an investigational folate receptor-alpha (FRα)-targeted, TOPO1 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that showed Rina-S 120 mg/m2 every 3 weeks (Q3W) resulted in a confirmed objective response rate (ORR) of 55.6% (95% CI: 30.8-78.5) in heavily pre-treated ovarian cancer (OC) patients regardless of FRα expression levels. With a median on-study follow-up of 48 weeks, 1 out of 10 patients experienced disease progression and the median duration of response (mDOR) was not reached (95% CI: 40.14-NR). The data are from the dose expansion cohort of the multi-part study evaluating the safety and efficacy of Rina-S as a single agent in solid tumors that are known to express FRα and were presented at the 2025 Society of Gynecologic Oncology Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer® (SGO) in Seattle, Washington.
