Panelists discuss the most common adverse events associated with PARP inhibitor (PARPi) therapy in ovarian cancer and strategies for mitigating or managing these adverse effects. They also review recent data on antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in ovarian cancer, including the evolving role of mirvetuximab soravtansine in the FORWARD II trial, and other ADCs such as luveltamab tazevibulin and rinatabart sesutecan, highlighting promising findings from studies presented at ESMO 2024. The session concludes with a discussion on future perspectives in ovarian cancer treatment, offering insights into emerging therapies and the evolving landscape.

Panelists discuss PARP inhibitor resistance in ovarian cancer and explore strategies to overcome this challenge, including findings from the PRESERVE-004 trial evaluating gotistobart plus pembrolizumab, along with other potential treatment options. Additionally, they review insights from the SOPRANO trial regarding the management of oligometastases or oligoprogression in ovarian cancer.

Panelists discuss the implications of PFS and OS data from the PRIMA trial evaluating niraparib as first-line maintenance therapy in advanced ovarian cancer, and the impact of these findings on the treatment paradigm, as well as new insights from the GEICO-88R study on long-term responders to niraparib. They also explore emerging maintenance strategies, including IO combination therapies and hormonal therapies, with a focus on ongoing trials such as rucaparib plus nivolumab, atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, and olaparib plus cediranib.
