Genmab Announces Rinatabart Sesutecan (Rina-S) Phase 2 RAINFOL-01 Results Demonstrated Durable and Clinically Meaningful Responses in Patients with Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer
Genmab A/S (Nasdaq: GMAB) today announced results from Part C of the Phase 1/2 RAINFOL-01 trial evaluating rinatabart sesutecan (Rina-S), an investigational folate receptor alpha (FRα)-targeted, topoisomerase I (TOPO1)-inhibitor antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), demonstrated that among 109 treated patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC), Rina-S achieved a confirmed objective response rate (ORR) of 45.9% (95% CI: 36.3–55.7), including five complete responses (CRs) and a median duration of response (mDOR) of 12.1 months (95% CI: 6.5–15.4), with 51% of responders remaining in response at one year. The findings were presented today in a Late-Breaking Oral Session at the International Gynecologic Cancer Society (IGCS) Congress 2026, held in Montreal, Canada.
The study also demonstrated a median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 9.5 months (95% CI: 7.6–11.3). Antitumor activity was observed regardless of FRα expression levels, including in patients with low FRα expression and non-expressors, and regardless of prior treatment with mirvetuximab.
“Platinum-resistant ovarian cancer is a difficult-to-treat disease. As patients relapse and progress through successive lines of therapy, achieving durable clinical benefit becomes increasingly challenging, yet remains critically important,” said Elizabeth K. Lee, M.D., study investigator and a medical oncologist in the gynecologic oncology program at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. “The antitumor activity and durability observed with Rina-S in this heavily pretreated population are encouraging and suggest the potential to meaningfully impact outcomes for patients facing a particularly challenging stage of disease.”
The Part C cohort of the Phase 1/2 RAINFOL-01 study evaluated Rina-S 120 mg/m² Q3W as monotherapy in patients with platinum-resistant high-grade serous ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. Eligible patients received one to three prior lines of therapy; patients who received mirvetuximab as their last prior therapy could have received up to four prior lines. More than half of patients (53%) had received three or four prior lines of therapy. All patients had received prior bevacizumab and taxane therapy; 49.5% had received a prior PARP inhibitor, and 33% had received prior mirvetuximab soravtansine. Median follow-up exceeded one year.
