Maintenance Niraparib Given at Individualized Starting Dose Improves PFS in Ovarian Cancer
March 20th 2022When maintenance niraparib was administered at an individualized starting dose, it resulted in a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival vs placebo in patients with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer, irrespective of biomarker status.
IP Carboplatin/Paclitaxel Improves PFS, But Not OS, Vs IV Chemo in Ovarian Cancer
The use of intraperitoneal carboplatin with paclitaxel improved progression-free survival, but not overall survival, vs intravenous chemotherapy in patients with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
Mirvetuximab Soravtansine Elicits Encouraging ORR in FRα-High, Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer
Mirvetuximab soravtansine was found to produce clinically meaningful antitumor activity with acceptable safety and tolerability in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and high folate receptor–alpha (FRα) expression.
Niraparib Plus Bevacizumab Shows Promise in High-Risk Ovarian Cancer Population
Niraparib in combination with bevacizumab was efficacious following 1 line of platinum-based chemotherapy among patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer, regardless of biomarker status.
Olaparib Shows Comparable OS to Chemotherapy in BRCA+, Platinum-Sensitive, Relapsed Ovarian Cancer
Single-agent olaparib generated similar overall survival compared with non-platinum chemotherapy in heavily pretreated patients with platinum-sensitive, relapsed ovarian cancer with BRCA mutations, according to the final analysis of the phase 3 SOLO3 trial.
A Variety of Clinical and Molecular Factors Mark Long-Term PFS in PSR OC Treated with Olaparib
Patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer without a germline BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 mutation treated with maintenance olaparib who achieved long-term progression-free survival more often had homologous recombination deficiency-positive tumors compared with those who experienced a short-term PFS.
Phase 3 Trial Seeks to Confirm Oregovomab Benefit in Advanced Ovarian Cancer
March 18th 2022Oregovomab, an investigational monoclonal antibody with promising phase 2 data, is being tested in combination with paclitaxel for patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer in the phase 3 FLORA-5 trial.
Mirvetuximab Soravtansine Monotherapy Under Exploration in Platinum-Resistant FRα+ Ovarian Cancer
The exploration of mirvetuximab soravtansine as a potentially efficacious treatment in patients with advanced, high-grade, platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancers with high folate receptor–alpha expression continues with the ongoing, single-arm, phase 3 SORAYA trial.
Dostarlimab Delivers Durable Responses in dMMR/MMRp Endometrial Cancer
March 24th 2021Dostarlimab demonstrated durable antitumor activity in patients with mismatch repair deficient and MMR proficient endometrial cancer, regardless of investigator assessment or blinded independent central review and immune-related RECIST or RECIST v1.1 criteria.
AVB-500/Paclitaxel Demonstrates Clinical Benefit in Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer
March 23rd 2021The GAS6/AXL inhibitor AVB-500, when combined with paclitaxel, elicited clinical benefit with favorable tolerability in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, according to data from a phase 1b study.
Olaparib Maintains Acceptable Safety Profile in Platinum-Sensitive, Relapsed Ovarian Cancer
Olaparib, when used in patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer who had a known BRCA mutation and homologous recombination deficiency status, demonstrated adverse effects that proved to be consistent with the established safety profile of the PARP inhibitor.
The combination of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib improved progression-free and overall survival, as well as response rates, compared with chemotherapy in patients with advanced endometrial cancer who received prior platinum-based chemotherapy, irrespective of mismatch repair status, according to phase 3 findings of the Study-309/KEYNOTE-775 trial.
