Tara Berman, MD, MS, is a medical oncologist at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and a member of faculty at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts.
Panelists discuss how the emerging pipeline of folate receptor-targeted antibody-drug conjugates, including rinatabart sesutecan (Rina-S) and other novel compounds, offers diverse payload options and potentially broader patient eligibility with different toxicity profiles, though sequencing strategies remain to be determined.
Tara Berman, MD, MS, and Gottfried E. Konecny, MD, discuss data for dostarlimab plus niraparib in advanced ovarian cancer.
Panelists discuss how mirvetuximab soravtansinerepresents a significant advancement for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer with folate receptor alpha expression, providing unprecedented overall survival benefits despite manageable ocular toxicities that are reversible with proper monitoring and dose modifications.
Panelists discuss how the frontline immunotherapy landscape is evolving with promising but not yet practice-changing data from the KEYNOTE and FIRST trials, suggesting potential benefits when combining pembrolizumab with PARP inhibitors in specific biomarker-defined subgroups of patients with ovarian cancer.
Tara Berman, MD, MS, and Gottfried E. Konecny, MD, discuss how ADCs could continue to reshape ovarian cancer management.
Panelists discuss how NCCN guidelines structure treatment options for advanced ovarian cancer around bevacizumab decisions and HRD status, with most experts favoring PARP inhibitor maintenance therapy for 2 to 3 years while carefully monitoring for long-term toxicities like MDS and secondary leukemias.
Panelists discuss how molecular testing approaches in advanced ovarian cancer should include comprehensive upfront biomarker assessment including HRD testing, folate receptor testing, PD-L1, and HER2 evaluation, combined with germline genetic counseling to guide treatment decisions and maintenance therapy strategies.
