Clinical Pearls

  • In ovarian cancer studies, researchers cannot control what therapies a patient will receive following progression on a study therapy
  • These additional lines of therapy have an impact on survival, making it difficult to make an accurate comparison of therapies
  • Using progression-free survival (PFS) as an endpoint may allow for a clean comparison
