I just wanted to bring some positive news and hope to all Ovarisan Canver Patients whom are residing in the U.K
I saw my oncologist last week and she said that Elahere has now been approved in Europe :-
Extract from news :-
Mirvetuximab soravtansine (approved under the brand name ELAHERE®) was granted approval by the European Commission in November 2024
My oncologist said it will be approved for patients whom are deemed platinum resistant and have the protein called FR-α at 75%. I think you have had to have had three lines of chemotherapy but don't quote me on this - Ovacome team may have more info on this.
She said it will be available some time in 2025

I’m in he US and will probably have t as my next treatment. I’m so glad it’s been approved there! It’s a good option for platinum resistant people. The oncologists here think it’s the best thing since sliced bread.
Hi Delia Just hope I'm one of the people whom has the 75% FR-a receptor. I've joined the Elahere FB group for Elahere and there are some people from the U.S whom only had 60% and have had really good results
I'm hoping more people from Europe will be offered it and do well. I'm just so grateful that research is ongoing for us all.
I just wanted to jump on here to say that my mum has just been told Elahere will be her next treatment — assuming some final testing this month. She’s at Guy’s in London. So it’s definitely now available in the UK! Xxx
Hi Georgia I guess your mom we I'll have the folate test. Is your mom deemed platinum resistant?I do hope so she goes really well on this treatment. Wishing her all t he e very best.
Hiya! Yeah so she’s platinum resistant and just finishing up taxol and her oncologist seems to think this trial will be a great bet! Thank you so much for the good wishes — same to you, too💛
That’s interesting, Georgia. Will your Mum be part of the Gloriosa trial at Guy’s? Or will the Elahere be a standalone treatment for her? My wife is being treated there too so I’m curious that your Mum has been offered it there.
Hiya! I think it’s part of the Gloriosa trial — we’ve got one more taxol and then should be swapping to the trial in Feb. Apparently it’s having really good results! We’re under Dr Rebecca Kristeleit for context incase that’s useful!
