Maintenance Niraparib Given at Individualized Starting Dose Improves PFS in Ovarian Cancer
March 20th 2022When maintenance niraparib was administered at an individualized starting dose, it resulted in a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival vs placebo in patients with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer, irrespective of biomarker status.
IP Carboplatin/Paclitaxel Improves PFS, But Not OS, Vs IV Chemo in Ovarian Cancer
The use of intraperitoneal carboplatin with paclitaxel improved progression-free survival, but not overall survival, vs intravenous chemotherapy in patients with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
Mirvetuximab Soravtansine Elicits Encouraging ORR in FRα-High, Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer
Mirvetuximab soravtansine was found to produce clinically meaningful antitumor activity with acceptable safety and tolerability in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and high folate receptor–alpha (FRα) expression.
Niraparib Plus Bevacizumab Shows Promise in High-Risk Ovarian Cancer Population
Niraparib in combination with bevacizumab was efficacious following 1 line of platinum-based chemotherapy among patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer, regardless of biomarker status.
Olaparib Shows Comparable OS to Chemotherapy in BRCA+, Platinum-Sensitive, Relapsed Ovarian Cancer
Single-agent olaparib generated similar overall survival compared with non-platinum chemotherapy in heavily pretreated patients with platinum-sensitive, relapsed ovarian cancer with BRCA mutations, according to the final analysis of the phase 3 SOLO3 trial.
Phase 3 Trial Seeks to Confirm Oregovomab Benefit in Advanced Ovarian Cancer
March 18th 2022Oregovomab, an investigational monoclonal antibody with promising phase 2 data, is being tested in combination with paclitaxel for patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer in the phase 3 FLORA-5 trial.
Trametinib Represents a New Standard-of-Care Option in Recurrent Low-Grade Serous Ovarian Carcinoma
The MEK inhibitor trametinib reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 52% compared with current standard-of-care therapies in patients with relapsed or persistent low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma, making it the potential new SOC for this patient population.
Addition of Bevacizumab to Ixabepilone Is Effective, Tolerable in Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer
The combination of ixabepilone and bevacizumab significantly improved progression-free survival vs ixabepilone alone in the treatment of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, according to data from the phase 2 trial published in the British Journal of Cancer.
Safety Review for OVATION 2 Trial Examining GEN-1 in Advanced Ovarian Cancer Has Positive Results
The Data Safety Monitoring Board for the ongoing phase 1/2 OVATION 2 trial has unanimously recommended that patients continue to receive treatment with the novel gene-mediated immunotherapy, GEN-1, at a dose of 100 mg/m2.
