Ovarian Cancer

Here is your guide to the important regulatory decisions made by the FDA in June 2024.

The FDA has granted fast track designation to Radspherin for the treatment of patients with peritoneal metastases from ovarian cancer.

The FDA has approved a new drug application for Tepylute, a ready-to-dilute formulation to treat breast and ovarian cancers.

Mirvetuximab soravtansine generated PFS, OS, and ORR improvements in patients with ovarian cancer who required dose modifications in the MIRASOL trial.

Durvalumab/chemotherapy/bevacizumab, then durvalumab/bevacizumab/olaparib maintenance, sustained a PFS benefit in BRCA-unmutated advanced ovarian cancer.

The FDA placed partial clinical holds on trials evaluating azenosertib in advanced solid tumors, including ovarian cancer and uterine serous carcinoma.

Mirvetuximab soravtansine led to an ORR of 51.9% in heavily pretreated patients with FRα-positive, platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer.

The addition of atezolizumab to bevacizumab and chemotherapy did not significantly improve overall survival or progression-free survival in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer.

The combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab improved responses as well as survival outcomes in patients with ovarian or gynecologic clear cell carcinomas.

The addition of lymphadenectomy to cytoreductive surgery did not improve progression-free or overall survival in advanced ovarian cancer.
