Panelists discuss the recent tumor-agnostic approval of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) based on findings from the DESTINY-PanTumor02 trial, its potential impact on treating advanced ovarian cancer given HER2 data, and how T-DXd may fit into the current treatment algorithm for ovarian cancer.

Panelists discuss strategies to address PARP inhibitor (PARPi) resistance in ovarian cancer, including emerging combinations like gotistobart + pembrolizumab from the PRESERVE-004 trial, insights from the SOPRANO trial on managing oligometastases or oligoprogression, and approaches to mitigate or manage common adverse events associated with PARPi maintenance therapy.

Panelists discuss how emerging maintenance strategies for advanced/metastatic disease increasingly focus on novel combination approaches, including immunotherapy combinations with PARP inhibitors (rucaparib + nivolumab), anti-angiogenic agents (atezolizumab + bevacizumab), and dual targeted therapy (olaparib + cediranib), with ongoing evaluation of optimal patient selection and sequencing in the treatment paradigm.

Panelists explore emerging combination therapies in maintenance treatment for advanced ovarian cancer, including rucaparib + nivolumab; atezolizumab + bevacizumab; and olaparib + cediranib, also discussing how these strategies fit into the current treatment paradigm and in which patient populations they may be considered.
