Ovarian Cancer

Investigators of the OVATION-2 trial assessed IMNN-001, a novel IL-2 gene therapy, in patients with newly diagnosed epithelial ovarian cancer.

Data from the ROSELLA trial may support relacorilant plus nab-paclitaxel as a new standard in this ovarian cancer population.

The median PFS with dostarlimab plus niraparib was 20.6 months vs 19.2 months with niraparib alone in patients with treatment-naive advanced ovarian cancer.

Data from the KEYNOTE-B96 trial also show a significant overall survival improvement with pembrolizumab-based treatment in PD-L1–positive disease.

Findings from the phase 2 RAMP 201 trial support the FDA approval of avutometinib plus defactinib in low-grade serous ovarian cancer.

The regulatory decision may offer more scheduling flexibility for patients who receive thiotepa for breast or ovarian cancer.

The phase 3 ROSELLA trial results assessing relacorilant/nab-paclitaxel in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer will support an upcoming NDA.

The phase 3 ARTISTRY-7 trial has been halted and nemvaleukin is no longer being developed for the treatment of patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

Future research may explore predictors of interval debulking surgery success and the scope of required surgery in advanced ovarian cancer.

Results from the NIRVANA-R trial found niraparib/bevacizumab maintenance yielded positive activity in pretreated ovarian cancer.

A phase 2 trial found that pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib elicited an overall response rate of 37.5% that consisted entirely of partial responses in high-grade serous PROC.

Data show deep responses with rinatabart sesutecan among patients regardless of folate receptor alpha expression level in a phase 1/2 study.

The adverse effect profile of abemaciclib plus hormonal therapy was comparable with prior reports of CDK4/6 inhibitors.

Results from the OVARIO trial found HRQOL maintained with niraparib/bevacizumab maintenance in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

The REFRαME-O1 trial improved response in patients with FRα–positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, including those with low to medium expression when given luveltamab tazevibulin.

Mirvetuximab soravtansine additionally showcased PFS, ORR, and DOR benefits over chemotherapy in FRα-positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

The KEYLYNK-001 trial found improved PFS among patients with advanced ovarian cancer given pembrolizumab/olaparib.

Although there was no statistical significance in survival data, afuresertib/paclitaxel improved PFS vs paclitaxel in patients with the pAKT biomarker.

Data show that rucaparib yielded a median OS of 19.4 months compared with 25.4 months with chemotherapy in relapsed BRCA-mutated ovarian carcinoma.

Phase 2b data support the Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy designation for gemogenovatucel-T in newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer.

Anant Madabhushi, PhD, and Farzad Fereidouni, PhD, are developing the MarginCall technology to reduce time lag and improve tumor margin assessment accuracy in breast and ovarian cancer surgery.

Results from the ZN-c3-001, MAMMOTH, and DENALI trials demonstrated meaningful ORRs with azenosertib in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

“Frozen section is destructive. It ruins the tissue, it consumes the tissue, and it affects downstream molecular analysis,” according to Farzad Fereidouni, PhD.

Anant Madabhushi, PhD, stated that MarginCall, a surgery tool he is developing can improve patient outcomes in breast and ovarian cancer surgeries.

The FIBI technology, created by Farzad Fereidouni, PhD, when combined with AI eliminates the need for frozen sections and other labor-intensive oncology surgery practices.

Avutometinib/defactinib was granted priority review by the FDA in the treatment of patients with recurrent, KRAS-mutant low-grade serous ovarian cancer.

Niraparib/dostarlimab with platinum-therapy met its PFS end point in patients with advanced ovarian cancer in the phase 3 FIRST-ENGOT-OV44 trial.

Surgery followed by platinum-based chemotherapy may provide the most benefit for patients with ovarian cancer, according to a medical oncologist.

Ovarian cancer decedents who received early palliative care had improved quality and less aggressive end-of-life care.

An FDA filing decision is anticipated before the end of 2024 for avutometinib/defactinib in recurrent KRAS-mutant low-grade serous ovarian cancer.
