About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

ImmunoGen Presents Comprehensive Updates for Mirvetuximab Soravtansine Combination Data in Ovarian Cancer at IGCS

By: via Business Wire

Mirvetuximab Plus Bevacizumab Demonstrated Meaningful Efficacy in Recurrent FRα-Positive Ovarian Cancer Across a Broad Range of FRα Expression Regardless of Prior Treatment; Data to be Highlighted in Oral Presentation

Additional Clinical Benefit Outcomes from Pivotal SORAYA Study Also Reported

ImmunoGen, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMGN), a leader in the expanding field of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for the treatment of cancer, today announced several data presentations for mirvetuximab soravtansine (mirvetuximab) at the 2022 International Gynecologic Cancer Society (IGCS) Annual Global Meeting in New York City. The presentations include: consolidated efficacy and safety data from a Phase 1b/2 study evaluating mirvetuximab in combination with Avastin® (bevacizumab) in folate receptor alpha (FRα)-positive recurrent ovarian cancer; the final analysis of a Phase 1b/2 study evaluating mirvetuximab in combination with carboplatin in patients with recurrent FRα-positive platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer; and the clinical benefit of mirvetuximab as a monotherapy in the SORAYA study. Two trial in progress posters from the mirvetuximab program will also be presented.

"We are pleased with the impressive anti-tumor activity and tolerability that these mirvetuximab doublets have generated in recurrent ovarian cancer," said Anna Berkenblit, MD, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of ImmunoGen. "As we await the potential FDA approval of mirvetuximab this year, we are focused on establishing mirvetuximab as both the combination agent of choice and the new standard of care as a monotherapy in folate receptor alpha positive ovarian cancer."

MIRVETUXIMAB SORAVTANSINE AND BEVACIZUMAB IN FOLATE RECEPTOR ΑLPHA-POSITIVE OVARIAN CANCER: EFFICACY IN PATIENTS WITH AND WITHOUT PRIOR BEVACIZUMAB

Lead Author: David O'Malley, MD

Date/Time: October 1, 2022, 3:55 – 5:25 PM ET

Abstract: #496

The safety and efficacy of mirvetuximab in combination with bevacizumab were evaluated in 126 patients with recurrent FRα-positive ovarian cancer. The primary endpoint for the study is confirmed objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by RECIST v1.1 and secondary endpoints include duration of response (DOR) and progression-free survival (PFS).

Key findings:

  • In the overall population, mirvetuximab plus bevacizumab demonstrated an ORR of 44% (95% CI, 35.6-53.6), a median DOR of 11.8 months (95% CI, 8.3-13.7), and median PFS of 8.2 months (95% CI, 6.8-9.9).
  • Clinical activity was observed across all levels of FRα expression, with an ORR of 52% (95% CI, 38.6–64.5), 39% (95% CI, 25.8–53.9), and 31% (95% CI, 9.1–61.4) in high, medium, and low expression, respectively.
  • In the bevacizumab-naïve population, anti-tumor activity was seen with an ORR of 58% (95% CI, 44.9-70.9), a median DOR of 11.8 months (95% CI, 8.3-12.9), and median PFS of 9.7 months (95% CI, 8.2-13.2).
  • The safety profile of mirvetuximab plus bevacizumab reflects the profile of each agent as a monotherapy; the most common treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were low-grade, including diarrhea (59% all grade; 2% grade 3), blurred vision (56% all grade; 1% grade 3), and fatigue (51% all grade; 4% grade 3).

"Current treatments for patients with recurrent ovarian cancer are, unfortunately, characterized by limited efficacy and challenging side effects," said David O'Malley, MD, Professor, Director of Gynecologic Oncology at the Ohio State University and the James Cancer Center. "With activity across a broad range of FRα expression regardless of prior treatment, these data support mirvetuximab plus bevacizumab as an effective combination choice for those patients who are eligible for treatment. I look forward to further evaluating this promising and novel combination in the platinum-sensitive maintenance setting in the randomized Phase 3 GLORIOSA study."

MIRVETUXIMAB SORAVTANSINE AND CARBOPLATIN FOR TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH RECURRENT FOLATE RECEPTOR ALPHA–POSITIVE PLATINUM-SENSITIVE OVARIAN CANCER: A FINAL ANALYSIS

Lead Author: Kathleen N. Moore, MD

Date/Time: October 1, 2022, 2:05 - 2:35 PM ET

Abstract: #499

A final analysis of the Phase 1b/2 FORWARD II study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and preliminary activity of mirvetuximab and carboplatin in patients with FRα-positive recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer was conducted.

Key findings:

  • In the overall efficacy evaluable patient group, the ORR was 71% (12 of 17); 18% (n=3) of patients had a CR and 53% (n=9) had a partial response.
    • Patients receiving mirvetuximab 6 mg/kg AIBW and carboplatin AUC5 had an ORR of 89%, median DOR of 12.1, and median PFS of 16.5 months.
    • Patients with medium/high FRα-expressing tumors had an ORR of 80%, median DOR of 24.2, and median PFS of 15.0 months across all escalation cohorts
  • The safety profile of mirvetuximab plus carboplatin reflects the safety profile of each agent as a monotherapy.

These findings support the evaluation of mirvetuximab plus carboplatin in Trial 420, a single-arm, Phase 2 study of mirvetuximab plus carboplatin in platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer patients with low, medium, or high expression of folate receptor alpha.

CLINICAL BENEFIT OF MIRVETUXIMAB SORAVTANSINE IN OVARIAN CANCER PATIENTS WITH HIGH FOLATE RECEPTOR ALPHA EXPRESSION: RESULTS FROM THE SORAYA STUDY

Lead Author: Robert L. Coleman, MD

Date/Time: September 30, 2022, 8:05 – 9:05 AM ET

Abstract: #376

SORAYA is a single-arm study of mirvetuximab in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer whose tumors express high levels of FRα and who have been treated with one to three prior regimens – at least one of which included bevacizumab. Previously undisclosed waterfall plots will be presented.

Key findings:

  • Mirvetuximab monotherapy resulted in clinically meaningful anti-tumor activity in patients with FRα-high platinum-resistant ovarian cancer: 71% of patients experienced tumor reduction, 51% had disease control (complete response, partial response, or stable disease for ≥12 weeks), and preliminary overall survival, with 46% of events reported, was 13.8 months.
  • Safety and tolerability of mirvetuximab are consistent with that observed in previous studies; adverse events were primarily low-grade gastrointestinal and ocular events that generally resolved with supportive care or, if needed, dose modifications and the discontinuation rate due to TRAEs was 9%.
  • Mirvetuximab demonstrated a favorable benefit-risk profile in patients with FRα-high platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and has the potential to be a practice-changing, biomarker-driven therapy.

ADDITIONAL PRESENTATIONS

Trial in progress posters from ImmunoGen's PICCOLO (Abstract #1556) trial of mirvetuximab in recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer and a Phase 2 (Abstract #1566) investigator-sponsored combination trial of mirvetuximab with Keytruda® (pembrolizumab) in patients with microsatellite stable recurrent or persistent endometrial cancer will also be presented.
