The addition of relacorilant to nab-paclitaxel has improved overall survival in patients with recurrent, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

A significant improvement in progression-free survival was observed in the phase 3 ATHENA-MONO trial with first-line maintenance rucaparib vs placebo in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

Ira Winer, MD, PhD, FACOG, spoke about which presentations during The Society of Gynecologic Oncology 2022 Annual Meeting he most enjoyed.

A biologics license application for mirvetuximab soravtansine, which demonstrated a clinically meaningful objective response rate, was submitted to the FDA for folate receptor α-high platinum-resistant ovarian cancer that has previously been treated with 1 to 3 lines of systemic treatments.

The phase 3 PRIME study showed increased progression-free survival for patients with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer who were treated with an individualized starting dose of maintenance niraparib vs placebo.

The iPocc trial indicated that patients with ovarian cancer experienced an improvement in progression-free survival when treated with intraperitoneal carboplatin plus paclitaxel compared with intravenous chemotherapy, but this benefit did not translate to overall survival.

Phase 3 SOROYA trial revealed promising response rates with mirvetuximab soravtansine in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and high folate receptor–alpha expression.
