Agenda

Each 1-hour session will be divided into topic modules focused on current management, emerging research and novel agents and strategies under active investigation for ovarian cancer. Each event will employ an identical format that will include the following elements:

  • Moderator Dr Neil Love and a featured participating clinical investigator
  • Discussion of participating faculty treatment recommendations
  • Review of available clinical research findings
  • Community oncologist video case presentations
  • Interactive audience polling and extensive Q&A

    MODULE 1: Current Treatment Paradigm for Newly Diagnosed and Recurrent Ovarian Cancer

    MODULE 2: Optimal Incorporation of PARP Inhibitors into the Treatment Algorithm

    MODULE 3: Management of Side Effects Associated with PARP Inhibitor Therapy

    MODULE 4: Novel Investigational Agents and Strategies for Ovarian Cancer

Target Audience
This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows, radiation oncologists and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Learning Objectives

  • Consider available clinical research findings with PARP inhibitors as maintenance therapy after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer (OC), and counsel patients regarding personalized treatment recommendations.
  • Assess available clinical trial data with and approved indications for FDA-endorsed PARP inhibitors for recurrent, platinum-sensitive and multiregimen-refractory OC in order to optimally incorporate these agents into patient care.
  • Appreciate the biologic rationale for and published clinical research data with the use of PARP inhibitors in combination with other systemic therapies, and consider the clinical and research implications of these findings for current and potential OC management.
  • Recognize the rationale for targeting folate receptor alpha and sodium-dependent phosphate transport protein 2b in OC, and consider available and emerging research findings with and the potential role of novel approaches to therapeutically exploit these biomarkers.
  • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for patients with OC, and counsel appropriate individuals about availability and participation.
