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

Topics to Be Discussed

  • Up-Front Treatment of Advanced Ovarian Cancer (OC)
  • Emerging Novel Approaches to Up-Front Treatment of OC
  • Selection and Sequencing of Therapy for Patients with Relapsed/Refractory OC
  • Novel Investigational Approaches for OC

Target Audience
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows, gynecologic oncologists and other healthcare providers 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 appropriately counsel patients regarding personalized treatment recommendations.
  • Assess available clinical trial data with and newly adopted indications for FDA-endorsed PARP inhibitors for recurrent OC in order to optimally incorporate these agents into management algorithms.
  • Evaluate the biological rationale for and published clinical research data with the use of PARP inhibitors in combination with other systemic therapies, and consider the current and potential clinical and research implications of these findings for OC management.
  • Recognize the rationale for targeting folate receptor alpha in OC, determine optimal testing methods and assess the current role of novel approaches to therapeutically exploit this newly relevant biomarker.
  • Use published research data and evidence-based guidelines to inform the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients with platinum-sensitive or platinum-resistant recurrent OC. 
  • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for OC, and appropriately counsel patients about availability and participation.
