Zymeworks presented new Phase 1 data for its FRα-targeting ADC ZW191 at ESMO 2026, showing a confirmed objective response rate of 64.5% at the 6.4 mg/kg dose in heavily pretreated patients with high-grade serous platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Responses were durable, with median duration of response not yet reached and six-month progression-free survival of 61% in both dose groups, and activity was seen across high, intermediate, and low/negative FRα expression levels. Tolerability favored the 6.4 mg/kg dose (22% vs 44% Grade 3+ treatment-related adverse events), informing dose selection for further development.
