Future findings from a translational analysis of the OVATION-2 trial may corroborate prior clinical data with IMNN-001 in 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.
Patients who respond to avutometinib/defactinib may be maintained on treatment for long periods of time, says Rachel N. Grisham, MD.
Findings from the OVARIO study show that patients with HRR–deficient and BRCA-mutated disease benefitted the most from niraparib/bevacizumab maintenance.
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.
