Questions Remain Regarding PARP Inhibition in Recurrent Platinum-Sensitive Ovarian Cancer
January 11th 2021Joshua G. Cohen, MD, FACOG, FACS, discusses the efficacy of PARP inhibitors in ovarian cancer, remaining questions regarding repeat inhibition and treatment duration, and the potential for combinations.
January 6, 2021 — The oral small molecule inhibitor VS-6766, developed by Verastem Oncology, is now under investigation alone and in combination with the FAK inhibitor defactinib in a recently initiated, registration-directed, phase 2 trial in patients with recurrent low-grade serous ovarian cancer.
Rucaparib Significantly Improves PFS Over Chemo in Later-Line, BRCA+ Ovarian Cancer
December 21, 2020 - Rucaparib was found to result in a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival compared with chemotherapy in patients with BRCA-mutant ovarian cancer who had previously received 2 or more lines of chemotherapy.
PARP Inhibitors Pave the Way to Cure in Ovarian Cancer
December 14th 2020Following the results of the SOLO-1 trial, maintenance PARP inhibitors have become the standard of care for patients with BRCA-mutated ovarian cancer but overall survival data are needed to confirm their potentially curative benefit.
4 Biomarker-Driven Regimens Propel Frontline Advances in Ovarian Cancer
November 28th 2020Targeted therapy approaches have expanded rapidly in ovarian cancer over the past 3 years, with the FDA approving 4 new strategies in frontline settings that allow women to remain free of disease progression longer than the previous standard of care.
November 21, 2020 — Maintenance niraparib, when administered at an individualized starting dose, led to a 70% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death compared with placebo in Chinese patients with recurrent ovarian cancer who were in a complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy.
Olaparib/Bevacizumab Approved in Europe for Frontline Maintenance in HRD+ Advanced Ovarian Cancer
The European Union has approved olaparib in combination with bevacizumab for use as a first-line maintenance treatment in patients with homologous recombination deficient–positive advanced ovarian cancer.
Niraparib Approved in Europe for Frontline Maintenance in Advanced Ovarian Cancer
The European Commission has approved niraparib for use as a frontline monotherapy maintenance option in adult patients with advanced epithelial, high-grade ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in complete or partial response after platinum-based chemotherapy.
Gynecologic Oncologists Continue to Pursue Novel Agents, Immunotherapy in Ovarian Cancer
September 30th 2020Caroline Billingsley, MD, spoke to established and emerging treatment modalities in ovarian cancer and the successes and pitfalls of key clinical trials of antibody-drug conjugates and immunotherapy in this space.
Atezolizumab Plus Bevacizumab/Chemo Fails to Significantly Improve PFS in Ovarian Cancer
The addition of atezolizumab to a backbone comprised of bevacizumab and chemotherapy failed to significantly improve progression-free survival in patients with newly diagnosed stage III/IV ovarian cancer.
The European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use has adopted a positive opinion for olaparib as maintenance treatment in adult patients with advanced, high-grade epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in response after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy plus bevacizumab and whose disease has homologous recombination deficiency positivity defined by either a BRCA1/2 mutation and/or genomic instability.
Weekly Dose-Dense Chemotherapy Not Superior to Standard of Care in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
September 21st 2020Weekly dose-dense chemotherapy is not superior to standard 3 weekly chemotherapy for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer when it comes to progression-free survival and overall survival, though the regimen is safe and effective.
