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.

The adverse effect profile of abemaciclib plus hormonal therapy was comparable with prior reports of CDK4/6 inhibitors.

Results from the OVARIO trial found HRQOL maintained with niraparib/bevacizumab maintenance in patients with advanced 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.

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.

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.

Findings may support reconsideration of guideline recommendations concerning the use of estrogen alone in postmenopausal individuals.

Fumiko Chino, MD, discusses how recent findings of talcum powder use were linked to ovarian cancer.

Results of the Sister Study cohort found an increased risk of ovarian cancer when enrolled patients used genital talcum powder throughout young adulthood.
