Advancements in the Management of Ovarian Cancer

Panelists discuss how biomarker testing for advanced ovarian cancer, including when and which biomarkers to test (such as HRD), plays a crucial role in guiding treatment decisions and personalizing patient care.

Panelists discuss how genomic instability scores, including HRD vs HRP profiles, influence treatment selection and sequencing in ovarian cancer, particularly in guiding the use of PARP inhibitors and other targeted therapies in the maintenance setting, and how these scores may prompt adjustments to standard treatment approaches.

Panelists discuss how frontline maintenance therapy options for advanced ovarian cancer are influenced by key factors, such as a patient’s HRD status, and when a combination approach with PARP inhibitors and bevacizumab might be preferred over monotherapy.

Panelists discuss how the duration of PARP inhibitor (PARPi) therapy typically differs between the first-line and second-line settings in advanced ovarian cancer treatment.

Panelists discuss the implications of PFS and OS data from the PRIMA trial evaluating niraparib as first-line maintenance therapy in advanced ovarian cancer, and the impact of these findings on the treatment paradigm, as well as new insights from the GEICO-88R study on long-term responders to niraparib. They also explore emerging maintenance strategies, including IO combination therapies and hormonal therapies, with a focus on ongoing trials such as rucaparib plus nivolumab, atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, and olaparib plus cediranib.
