Ovarian Cancer

After 7 years of follow-up, results from the phase 3 SOLO1/GOG-3004 trial support maintenance olaparib to achieve long-term remission in women with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer.

Results of the phase 3 ARIEL4 trial comparing rucaparib vs chemotherapy for patients with relapsed ovarian cancer and deleterious BRCA1/2 mutations were presented at 2022 ESMO and raised questions about optimal sequencing of PARP inhibitors in this setting.

The final analysis of the PAOLA-1/ENGOT-ov25 trial confirmed the benefit of olaparib plus bevacizumab as maintenance therapy following frontline treatment in women with HRD-positive advanced ovarian cancer.

Results from the phase 3 ICON8 trial showed patients with epithelial ovarian cancer did not experience an overall survival or progression-free survival benefit with weekly dose-dense chemotherapy in the first line compared with 3 times weekly.

The primary end points of progression-free survival and overall survival were not met in the phase 3 OVAL trial assessing ofranergene obadenovec for patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

Progression-free survival and overall survival were enhanced with the use of bevacizumab plus first-line chemotherapy in ovarian clear cell carcinoma.

A neoadjuvant and postsurgical treatment regimen involving ruxolitinib and chemotherapy appeared to boost progression-free survival in patients with stage III and IV ovarian cancer.

The ATHENA-MONO trial showed a significant improvement in progression-free survival when patients with platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer were treated with maintenance rucaparib vs placebo in the first-line setting, regardless of HRD status.

Results from the phase 3 SORAYA trial supported the acceptance of a biologics license application for mirvetuximab soravtansine under priority review by the FDA for patients with folate receptor α–high platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

Real-world practice patterns with bevacizumab for patients with ovarian cancer differed greatly from published clinical trial data.

Minimal increases in genetic testing and counseling were observed when using a traceback program to contact patients with ovarian cancer and surrogates via phone, and was not time sensitive.

At SGO 2022, Catherine Watson, MD, spoke about how to encourage patients with ovarian cancer to seek genetic testing.

An ongoing trial assessing neoadjuvant mirvetuximab soravtansine plus carboplatin in advanced folate receptor α–positive ovarian was reviewed by Jhalak Dholakia, MD, at The Society of Gynecologic Oncology 2022 Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer.

Ira Winer, MD, PhD, FACOG, spoke about future directions of nemvaleukin alfa plus pembrolizumab for patients with pretreated platinum resistant ovarian cancer.

At SGO 2022, Catherine Watson, MD, spoke about the 2 arms of a randomized education trial presented at the conference.

Patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer may benefit from treatment with ofranergene obadenovec, which received fast track designation from the FDA.

Ursula A. Matulonis, MD, speaks to potential future uses of mirvetuximab soravtansine in ovarian cancer.

In an interview with CancerNetwork®, Ursula A. Matulonis, MD, discusses the toxicities associated with mirvetuximab soravtansine in folate receptor α–high platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

At SGO 2022, Catherine Watson, MD, spoke about how to improve genetic education for patients with ovarian cancer.

Ira Winer, MD, PhD, FACOG, spoke about high response rates observed in patients with pretreated platinum-resistant ovarian cancer from the phase 1/2 ARTISTRY-1 trial.

Data from the phase 2 KGOG 3046 trial revealed evidence of antitumor activity with the neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy regimen containing durvalumab and tremelimumab for patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer.

Ursula A. Matulonis, MD, discusses key data with mirvetuximab soravtansine for patients with folate receptor α–high platinum-resistant ovarian cancer that read out of the phase 3 SORAYA trial.

Anjali Y. Hari, MD, speaks to the rationale for examining hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in a population of frail and non-frail patients with ovarian cancer.

In a discussion with CancerNetwork®, Ursula A. Matulonis, MD, describes the potential of mirvetuximab soravtansine (IMGN853) as a treatment for patients with folate receptor α (FRα)–high platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

Ira Winer, MD, PhD, FACOG, spoke about patients with pretreated platinum-resistant ovarian cancer treated with nemvaleukin alfa plus pembrolizumab in the phase 1/2 ARTISTRY-1 trial.
