Not every oncologist prescribes Elahere. Learn which specialists can prescribe mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx, how to find one near you, and what to ask at your appointment.

Elahere (mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx) is a specialized cancer therapy that isn't prescribed by most general practitioners or even most medical oncologists. Getting access to Elahere starts with finding the right specialist — typically a gynecologic oncologist with experience treating platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and familiarity with antibody-drug conjugates. Here's how to find one near you in 2026.

Who Can Prescribe Elahere?

Elahere is not a controlled substance and has no DEA scheduling restrictions, but it is a specialty IV chemotherapy biologic that requires:

A licensed physician, nurse practitioner (NP), or physician assistant (PA) with prescribing authority in their state

Experience in oncology (gynecologic oncology preferred) and familiarity with companion diagnostic testing

Access to an infusion center that can prepare and administer IV biologics

In practice, the following specialists are best positioned to prescribe Elahere:

Gynecologic oncologists — the primary prescribers; sub-specialists trained to treat cancers of the female reproductive system, including ovarian cancer.

Medical oncologists — particularly those at cancer centers with gynecologic oncology programs and experience using ADCs.

NPs and PAs in oncology — often co-manage patients within a gynecologic oncology practice and can prescribe Elahere under oncologist supervision.

How to Find a Gynecologic Oncologist Near You

Here are reliable ways to find a qualified specialist:

NCI Cancer Center Finder (cancer.gov/research/infrastructure/cancer-centers): NCI-designated cancer centers are national leaders in advanced cancer care and are the most likely to have gynecologic oncologists prescribing Elahere.

Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) member directory (sgo.org): The SGO maintains a searchable directory of board-certified gynecologic oncologists.

Your insurance provider's online directory: Search for "gynecologic oncologist" in your plan's network to confirm in-network coverage.

Ask your current oncologist for a referral: Your medical oncologist may be able to refer you to a gynecologic oncologist colleague with ADC experience.

Can I Get a Telehealth Consultation for Elahere?

Telehealth oncology consultations can be a helpful first step — especially for patients in rural areas or those who want a second opinion before committing to travel. A gynecologic oncologist can:

Review your diagnosis, pathology, and prior treatment history via telehealth

Order FRα testing and review results remotely

Coordinate with a local infusion center to administer Elahere (infusions themselves must be in person)

Several major cancer centers offer telehealth oncology second opinions. Note that Elahere infusions always require an in-person visit — telehealth only supports the consultation and follow-up components of care.

Questions to Ask When You Find a Specialist

When you first meet with a potential prescriber, consider asking:

"Have you prescribed Elahere (mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx) before?"

"Does your practice's infusion center stock Elahere or have experience preparing and administering it?"

"Has my tumor been tested for folate receptor alpha (FRα) expression using the VENTANA FOLR1 assay?"

"Do you have an ophthalmologist or optometrist I can work with for the required eye monitoring during treatment?"

Frequently Asked Questions

Elahere is primarily prescribed by gynecologic oncologists — sub-specialists trained in cancers of the female reproductive system. Medical oncologists at cancer centers with gynecologic oncology programs may also prescribe it. NPs and PAs working in oncology practices can prescribe Elahere under physician supervision.

A general medical oncologist can technically prescribe Elahere, but in practice it is most often prescribed by gynecologic oncologists with experience in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and ADC therapies. If your current oncologist is not familiar with Elahere, ask for a referral to a gynecologic oncology specialist.

Use the NCI Cancer Center Finder (cancer.gov) to locate nearby NCI-designated cancer centers, or search the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) member directory at sgo.org. You can also search your insurance plan's online directory for in-network gynecologic oncologists.

A gynecologic oncologist can conduct an initial consultation and review your case via telehealth, and may be able to coordinate with a local infusion center. However, Elahere infusions themselves must be administered in person at a qualified oncology infusion center — telehealth is limited to the consultation and follow-up portions of care.

Depending on your insurance plan, you may need a referral from your primary care physician or current oncologist to see a gynecologic oncologist. HMO plans typically require referrals; PPO plans usually do not. Contact your insurance company to confirm before scheduling.
