SERIES MODERATOR
Neil Love, MD
Research To Practice
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 case presentations
  • Interactive audience polling and extensive Q&A

    Module 1: Management of Newly Diagnosed Ovarian Cancer

    Module 2: PARP Inhibitors in the Management of Relapsed Disease

Target Audience
These activities are intended for gynecologic oncologists, medical oncologists, gynecologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of ovarian cancer (OC).

Learning Objectives

  • Appraise guideline recommendations, consensus statements and clinical investigator perspectives regarding the indications for and selection of genetic testing platforms in OC, and use the results of these assessments to guide long-term treatment.
  • Recognize the FDA approval of olaparib as maintenance therapy after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with advanced OC harboring a deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA germline or somatic mutation, and appropriately integrate this agent into clinical care.
  • Review emerging trial data evaluating niraparib as maintenance therapy in the first-line setting for patients with or without BRCA mutations, and consider the clinical and research implications of these findings.
  • Understand the biologic rationale for and available data with the use of PARP inhibitors in combination with anti-angiogenic agents, and discern how this strategy may affect therapeutic algorithms in the near future.
  • Appreciate available clinical trial data with PARP inhibition in combination with front-line chemotherapy and then as maintenance treatment for patients with newly diagnosed OC, and evaluate the potential role of this novel therapeutic approach.
  • Assess available clinical trial data with and approved indications for FDA-endorsed PARP inhibitors for patients with recurrent, platinum-sensitive and multiregimen-refractory OC in order to personalize care plans incorporating these agents.
  • Recognize the toxicities associated with PARP inhibitors commonly used in the care of patients with OC, and offer supportive management strategies to minimize or ameliorate these side effects.
  • Develop an understanding of the rationale for, emerging data with and potential clinical roles of combining PARP inhibitors with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies, and counsel appropriate patients about the availability of and participation in research studies.
