Ovarian Cancer

The FDA has assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act date of July 11, 2026, for relacorilant as a treatment for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

Results from the phase 3 MIRASOL trial led to the approval of mirvetuximab soravtansine for patients with FRα+ ovarian cancer.

The novel treatment was evaluated in a phase 2 trial and saw a clinical benefit in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

Additional research on novel targeted therapies may be necessary to address the unmet needs in this high-grade serous ovarian cancer population.

Further studying the biology of minimal residual disease may uncover ovarian cancer vulnerabilities and inform more effective therapies.

Oncologists explore the considerations of mirvetuximab soravtansine treatment in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, highlighting its efficacy and the management of ocular AEs.

Relacorilant plus nab-paclitaxel led to a median PFS and OS of 6.54 months and 15.97 months, respectively, in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

Among 115 patients treated with avutometinib and defactinib, only 5 deaths occurred in the study, none of which were related to study treatment.

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

Future findings from a translational analysis of the OVATION-2 trial may corroborate prior clinical data with IMNN-001 in advanced 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.

Approximately 10% of patients discontinued treatment with avutometinib/defactinib due to toxicity in the phase 2 RAMP 201 trial.

Response rates appeared to be higher with avutometinib plus defactinib vs avutometinib alone in the phase 2 RAMP 201 study.

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

Patients who respond to avutometinib/defactinib may be maintained on treatment for long periods of time, says Rachel N. Grisham, MD.

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.

Findings from the OVARIO study show that patients with HRR–deficient and BRCA-mutated disease benefitted the most from niraparib/bevacizumab maintenance.

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.
