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.

Next-generation clinical trials may address when to use CDK4/6 inhibition in patients with low-grade serous ovarian cancer.

The NRG-GY019 trial will assess chemotherapy plus letrozole vs letrozole alone as a frontline treatment for patients with low-grade serous ovarian cancer.

Nearly 40% of low-grade serous ovarian cancers have RAS alterations, which are predominately KRAS mutations.

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.

Updated findings from RAMP 201 show that avutometinib/defactinib is generally well tolerated among those with low-grade serous ovarian cancer.

Combining IMNN-001 with chemotherapy also elicited a progression-free survival improvement compared with chemotherapy alone in the OVATION 2 trial.

A ready-to-dilute formula of SH-105 has been approved by the FDA to treat breast and ovarian cancers.

There was no benefit derived from adding atezolizumab to chemotherapy and bevacizumab in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer.

A survival benefit was observed when nivolumab and ipilimumab were combined to treat ovarian or gynecologic clear cell carcinoma.

Data from the phase 2 RAMP 201 trial may support the potential accelerated approval of avutometinib/defactinib in KRAS-mutated LGSOC.
