SGO Annual Meeting

Bruno Bockorny, MD, discusses the findings from a study of botensilimab plus bastilimab for the treatment of patients with recurrent platinum refractory/resistant ovarian cancer.

Carolina Frailty Index Score can effectively assess frailty status in women with ovarian cancer.

The phase 2 KGOG3046 is the first study to show survival outcomes with the dual checkpoint blockades, durvalumab and tremelimumab, combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer.

According to Vadim Gushchin, MD, treatment with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy should not be limited by concerns of how it may impact a patient’s health-related quality of life.

No statistically significant difference was seen with the combination of olaparib and cediranib compared to cediranib alone in patients with recurrent, metastatic or persistent endometrial cancer.

Data from the KEYNOTE-158 study, presented at the Society of Gynecological Oncology 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer, showed durable responses in heavily pretreated patients with vulvar squamous cell carcinoma regardless of their PD-L1 status.

The combination of apatinib and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin improved the progression-free survival for patients with platinum-resistant or refractory ovarian cancer in comparison to doxorubicin alone, according to data from the phase 2 APPROVE trial.

Patients with advanced or recurrent endometrioid endometrial cancer had promising clinical outcomes following treatment with the combination of enzalutamide and carboplatin plus paclitaxel in the phase 2 ENPAC clinical trial.

Ursula A. Matulonis, MD, discusses the effect of the PARP inhibitor niraparib on recurrent ovarian cancer.

After long-term follow-up, olaparib maintenance therapy demonstrated progression-free survival benefit in almost half of the patients with ovarian cancer compared with 21% for those who received placebo, including consistent benefit in high- and low-risk patients.

Niraparib administered as maintenance therapy showed clinical benefit lasting beyond first progression in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer with or without germline BRCA mutations, according to the final results of the ENGOT-OV16/NOVA study.

Olaparib maintenance continues to show clinical activity in platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer, including in patients with somatic BRCA mutations and non-BRCA homologous recombination repair mutations.

In a phase 2 trial treatment with eribulin led to disease control and a favorable safety profile among patients with recurrent or advanced cervical cancer.

At the Society of Gynecological Oncology Virtual Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer data from the phase II OVARIO study continued to show the progression free survival benefit for heavily pretreated patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

Shannon Westin, MD, MPH, FACOG, discusses the rationale of using durvalumab, a PD-L1 inhibitor, with or without olaparib.

Progression-free survival and overall survival were improved with pembrolizumab and lenvatinib when compared with chemotherapy in patients with advanced endometrial cancer who had received prior platinum-based chemotherapy in the phase 3 Study-309/KEYNOTE-775 trial.

The addition of the investigational anti–PD-1 immunotherapy agent, dostarlimab, to niraparib and bevacizumab demonstrated positive antitumor activity and tolerability in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

Compared with standard-of-care chemotherapy, treatment with the PARP inhibitor rucaparib led to a significant prolongation of progression-free survival and improved duration of response in patients with BRCA-mutated advanced, relapsed ovarian cancer, according to primary results from the phase 3 ARIEL4 trial.

Data from a post hoc analysis of the PRIMA/ENGOT-OV26/GOG-3012 phase III trial showed the efficacy of niraparib maintenance therapy for patients with ovarian cancer who had interval debulking surgery or visible residual disease.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Charlotte Sun, DrPH, MPH, discussed the findings from 2 abstracts from the 2020 SGO Annual Meeting on patient preferences for maintenance therapy in ovarian cancer and how these findings can be applied to practice in the community oncology setting.

"Adavosertib demonstrated promising preliminary clinical activity in patients with unselected uterine serous cancer."

Ross F. Harrison, MD, discusses the out-of-pocket costs for patients with ovarian cancer receiving PARP inhibitor treatment.

“There are limited treatment options for women with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer, and prognosis of these patients is poor. The results observed in the GARNET trial indicate the potential of dostarlimab to offer a new treatment option for women with this challenging disease.”

Treatment with olaparib demonstrated similar outcomes to standard-of-care chemotherapy treatment in patients with BRCA wild-type, platinum-sensitive, recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer in the phase II CLIO study. As such, olaparib failed to demonstrate a significant improvement in survival over chemotherapy.

In the phase III VELIA trial, the addition of veliparib to frontline induction chemotherapy expanded the number of complete responses and CA-125 responses in patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer compared with chemotherapy alone, according to results from an exploratory analysis.

Relapse-free survival was prolonged in patients with stage III/IV ovarian cancer who received frontline maintenance treatment with Vigil immunotherapy compared with placebo. This was especially true for patients with BRCA1/2 wild-type disease, according to results from the phase II VITAL study.

Frontline niraparib in addition to bevacizumab as maintenance demonstrated impressive clinical activity in patients with advanced ovarian cancer who achieved either a complete or partial response to frontline platinum-based chemotherapy with bevacizumab, according to the phase II OVARIO trial.

Following its success in the phase III PRIMA study, frontline niraparib maintenance demonstrated positive patient-reported outcomes, as well as met biomarker-defined and other secondary endpoints, according to 3 analyses to be reported as part of the Society of Gynecologic Oncology 2020 Annual Meeting.

Olaparib combined with neratinib may be a novel treatment option for patients with&nbsp;HER2-positive, homologous recombination&ndash;proficient ovarian cancer tumors that are resistant to chemotherapy, preclinical findings presented during the&nbsp;2019 SGO Annual Meeting showed.<br /> &nbsp;
