Notes
NEW conjugate row, distinct from the existing naked-Ab row 'farletuzumab' (MORAb-003). MORAb-202 = humanized anti-FRalpha IgG1/kappa farletuzumab + cathepsin-B-cleavable Mal-PEG2-Val-Cit-PAB linker + eribulin (DAR 4, random interchain-Cys/maleimide). 'RP2D'-tagged toxicity rows = the FIH Ph1 pooled cohort (Shimizu CCR 2021, n=22, 0.3-1.2 mg/kg Q3W, NCT03386942) — the primary/qualifying OAE cohort: eye disorders 2/22 (9%), all grade 1, markedly lower than the FRalpha comparator mirvetuximab (blurred vision ~42-48%, keratopathy ~33-36%). Recommended expansion doses were 0.9 & 1.2 mg/kg (Yonemori IJGO 2026 PROC expansion, Cohort 1 n=24 + Cohort 2 n=21); in the expansion the ONLY ocular PT reported was cataract (8.3% at 0.9, 14.3% at 1.2 mg/kg) — a lens finding likely age/steroid-confounded in this PROC population, not an ocular-surface ADC signal; hence ocular_surface_subtype/dominant_ae_tissue = Unknown. Key AE of interest = ILD/pneumonitis (FIH 23% G1-2; expansion 37.5% at 0.9 mg/kg, 66.7% at 1.2 mg/kg incl. 1 G3). NOTE neutropenia discrepancy by cohort: FIH 45% (10/22; escalation incl. higher doses) vs expansion 4.4% (2/45) at recommended doses. Later PK/E-R modelling (Hayato JCP 2025) supports 33 mg/m2 BSA-based Q3W. Eribulin released as membrane-permeable free base -> strong bystander (>140-fold). Thrombocytopenia and infusion-reaction rates NOT reported in available sources (left blank, not zero). FOLR1 not corneal/conjunctival-expressed (HCA ~0.02-0.19%), consistent with the low ocular-surface signal.
