Mirvetuximab Soravtansine Leads a Cascade of ADCs Under Development in Ovarian Cancer
Kathleen N. Moore, MD, MS, discusses the clinical implications of the potential FDA approval of mirvetuximab soravtansine, observations from other antibody-drug conjugates under investigation in clinical trials, and the rationale of examining PARP inhibitor–based combinations in ovarian cancer.
BRCA Mutations, HRD Status Drive PARP Inhibitor Selection in Ovarian Cancer Maintenance
Bobbie J. Rimel, MD, discusses how PARP inhibitors are deployed across different treatment settings of ovarian cancer, the recent market withdrawal of PARP inhibitors in later-line indications, and ongoing research efforts at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for patients with ovarian cancer.
Time Required to Address Scientific Questions Generates an Information Dilemma
October 26th 2022One of the more perplexing issues surrounding scientific questions is the extended time required to provide an answer. Even once a well-considered and vetted conclusion is obtained, an additional interval of time may be required to modify or reverse the answer because of new, relevant data.
Exploration of ADCs Highlights the Drive for Personalized Treatment in Ovarian Cancer
Rodney Rocconi, MD, discusses the continued exploration of antibody-drug conjugates in patients with ovarian cancer, biomarkers and agents under investigation in the space, and the ongoing research being conducted at the O'Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Mirvetuximab Soravtansine Generates Improvement in PROs Vs Chemotherapy in Advanced Ovarian Cancer
Treatment with mirvetuximab soravtansine elicited a statistically significant benefit vs investigator’s choice of chemotherapy for the OV28 abdominal/gastrointestinal symptom subscale in patients with folate receptor alpha–positive, advanced ovarian cancer.
González-Martín discusses the updated long-term efficacy and safety data from the PRIMA study, the importance of utilizing PARP inhibitors in patients with homologous recombination–deficient tumors, and the benefit observed with niraparib in those with homologous recombination–proficient tumors.
Pafolacianine Detects Microlesions in Folate Receptor–Positive Ovarian Cancer
Pafolacianine used during ovarian cancer surgery identified additional tumors that were not detected with conventional means and not otherwise planned for resection, according to results from a phase 3 study recently published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
China Green Lights Olaparib for First-line Maintenance in HRD+ Advanced Ovarian Cancer
Olaparib plus bevacizumab was approved in China as a first-line maintenance treatment for homologous recombination deficiency–positive ovarian cancer following a response to platinum-based chemotherapy plus bevacizumab.
Niraparib Maintenance Provides Durable Long-term Remission in High-Risk Advanced Ovarian Cancer
Maintenance treatment with niraparib produced a sustained and durable progression-free survival benefit in patients with primary advanced ovarian cancer who responded to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy, spanning biomarker subgroups.
