EU Panel Recommends Rucaparib for Frontline Maintenance in Advanced Ovarian Cancer
The European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use has adopted a positive opinion regarding the approval of a Type II variation application for rucaparib as a frontline maintenance in patients with advanced ovarian cancer who have responded to first-line, platinum-based chemotherapy, irrespective of BRCA mutational status.
FDA Grants Fast Track Designation to AVB-001 for R/R Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer
The FDA has granted fast track designation to AVB-001 for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed/refractory, platinum-resistant, high-grade serous adenocarcinoma of the ovary, primary peritoneum, or fallopian tube.
IMNN-001 Plus Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Improves PFS in Advanced Ovarian Cancer
Treatment with the interleukin-12 gene-mediated immunotherapy IMNN-001 in combination with neoadjuvant platinum chemotherapy led to an improvement in progression-free survival compared with neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone in newly diagnosed patients with advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
FDA Grants Fast Track Designation to IDE161 for BRCA+, Platinum-Resistant Advanced Ovarian Cancer
The FDA has granted fast track designation to IDE161 for the treatment of adult patients with advanced or metastatic ovarian cancer harboring germline or somatic BRCA1/2 mutations who are platinum resistant and have received prior treatment with antiangiogenic and PARP inhibitor therapies.
Dr Moore on the Design of a Phase 1/2 Study of Ubamatamab in Ovarian Cancer
September 6th 2023Kathleen N. Moore, MD, MS, discusses the design of the ongoing, first-in-human, phase 1/2 study of the MUC16- and CD3-targeted bispecific antibody ubamatamab alone or in combination with cemiplimab in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer.
Generic Drug Shortage of Platinum Agents in Ovarian Cancer Sends Cautionary Signal
September 6th 2023The well-publicized severe shortage of vitally important generic antineoplastic agents has highlighted a serious misalignment in the existing market-based and regulatory environment that permitted such an extraordinary situation to develop without meaningful resolution.
Maintenance Mirvetuximab Soravtansine Plus Bevacizumab Under Exploration in FRα+ Ovarian Cancer
September 1st 2023The efficacy of maintenance mirvetuximab soravtansine plus bevacizumab is being compared with bevacizumab alone in patients with folate receptor alpha–positive recurrent platinum-sensitive epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancers that did not progress on second-line triplet therapy in the phase 3 GLORIOSA study.

August 30th 2023Heather R. Williams, MD, discusses the evolution of the ovarian cancer treatment paradigm over the past several decades, as well as the importance of continuing to investigate individualized treatment approaches in this population to expand therapeutic options after disease recurrence.
TTFields Plus Paclitaxel Misses OS End Point in Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer
August 28th 2023The addition of tumor treating fields to paclitaxel did not result in a statistically significant improvement in overall survival vs paclitaxel alone in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, failing to meet the primary end point of the phase 3 ENGOT-ov50/GOG-3029/INNOVATE-3 trial.
Dr Cannon on the Investigation of the Th17 Dendritic Cell Vaccine in Ovarian Cancer
