7:00 PM – 9:00 PM — Educational Meeting
MODULE 1: Current Role of PARP Inhibitors in the Management of Advanced Ovarian Cancer (OC)
- Optimal approaches to biomarker testing for patients with newly diagnosed advanced OC; significance of somatic and germline BRCA mutations and homologous recombination deficiency status in treatment decision-making
- Long-term findings, including overall survival (OS) outcomes, with olaparib, olaparib/bevacizumab and niraparib maintenance therapy for patients with newly diagnosed OC
- Clinical, biological and practical factors in the selection of up-front maintenance olaparib, olaparib/bevacizumab or niraparib
- Ongoing Phase III studies, such as MONO-OLA1 and NRG-GY036, further exploring up-front PARP inhibitor maintenance therapy
- Current clinical utility, if any, of PARP inhibitors for patients with relapsed/refractory OC, including those who have experienced disease progression after PARP inhibitor therapy
MODULE 2: Strategies Targeting Folate Receptor Alpha (FRα) in Advanced OC
- Incidence and clinical relevance of FRα expression in OC; optimal approaches to and timing of FRα testing
- Long-term data, including OS findings, with mirvetuximab soravtansine for patients with FRα-positive, platinum-resistant OC from the Phase III MIRASOL trial; optimal integration into current management algorithms
- Key findings from the Phase II PICCOLO trial of mirvetuximab soravtansine for FRα-positive, platinum-sensitive OC; current and potential clinical role
- Design, eligibility criteria and primary and secondary endpoints of the Phase III GLORIOSA trial evaluating mirvetuximab soravtansine in combination with bevacizumab versus bevacizumab alone as maintenance therapy for patients with FRα-positive OC who have not experienced disease progression after second-line platinum-based chemotherapy and bevacizumab
- Mechanistic similarities and differences between investigational FRα-targeted antibody-drug conjugates, such as rinatabart sesutecan (Rina-S) or AZD5335, and mirvetuximab soravtansine
- Early data with and ongoing evaluation of Rina-S and AZD5335 for FRα-expressing, platinum-resistant OC
MODULE 3: Other Approved and Promising Investigational Antibody-Drug Conjugates for Advanced OC
- Frequency of HER2 expression in advanced OC; outcomes observed among patients with OC in the Phase II DESTINY-PanTumor02 trial of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) for pretreated HER2-expressing solid tumors
- Recent tumor-agnostic FDA approval of T-DXd and implications for OC management
- Ongoing Phase III DESTINY-Ovarian01 trial seeking to further define the role of T-DXd in therapy for advanced OC
- Rationale for targeting CDH6 in advanced OC; mechanism of antitumor activity of raludotatug deruxtecan (R-DXd)
- Available research findings, including those from the Phase II dose-optimization part of the ongoing Phase II/III REJOICE-Ovarian01 study, with R-DXd for patients with platinum-resistant advanced OC
- FDA breakthrough therapy designation of R-DXd for patients with platinum-resistant epithelial OC expressing CDH6 who have received prior treatment with bevacizumab; potential clinical role
- Early efficacy and safety outcomes with and ongoing evaluation of TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugates for patients with advanced OC
MODULE 4: Promising Novel Agents and Strategies Nearing the Clinic for Advanced OC
- Mechanism of antitumor activity of the selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator relacorilant and rationale for its evaluation for advanced OC
- Published efficacy and safety findings from the Phase III ROSELLA study of relacorilant and nab paclitaxel versus nab paclitaxel alone for patients with platinum-resistant advanced OC
- Tolerability profile of relacorilant/nab paclitaxel in the ROSELLA trial; relative contributions of each agent with regard to toxicities
- Recent FDA approval of relacorilant/nab paclitaxel for platinum-resistant advanced OC; integration into current clinical algorithms
- Available and emerging data, including OS outcomes, from the Phase III KEYNOTE-B96 study evaluating the addition of pembrolizumab to chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab for patients with platinum-resistant recurrent OC
- Potential clinical role of pembrolizumab in therapy for platinum-resistant recurrent OC
MODULE 5: Diagnosis and Management of Adverse Events Associated with Common Therapies for Advanced OC
- Spectrum, incidence and severity of common class- and agent-specific toxicities associated with PARP inhibitors for OC
- Optimal monitoring, mitigation and management approaches for common PARP inhibitor-related toxicities
- Reported risk of long-term, serious side effects, such as myelodysplastic syndromes or acute myeloid leukemia, with PARP inhibitor therapy
- Pathogenesis and incidence of ocular adverse reactions associated with mirvetuximab soravtansine; recommended approaches to prevention, monitoring and management
- Spectrum, frequency, severity and management of other side effects, such as peripheral neuropathy, gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities, fatigue and pneumonitis, in patients receiving mirvetuximab soravtansine
- Spectrum and incidence of common (eg, GI toxicities, myelosuppression) and more serious (eg, interstitial lung disease, cardiac toxicities) treatment-emergent adverse events observed with T-DXd
- Recommended strategies to monitor for, mitigate and manage T-DXd-associated toxicities
Target Audience
This activity is intended for medical and gynecologic oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of ovarian cancer.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to
- Understand available clinical research findings with PARP inhibitors as maintenance therapy after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for advanced OC, and appropriately counsel patients regarding personalized treatment recommendations.
- Appraise biological and patient- and treatment-related factors in order to individualize the selection and sequencing of therapy for platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant recurrent OC.
- Recognize the rationale for targeting folate receptor alpha (FRα) in OC, and understand the mechanism of action of and available research findings with FRα-directed antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).
- Appreciate available clinical research findings with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with chemotherapy for patients with platinum-resistant OC, and consider the current role of this novel therapeutic strategy.
- Understand the biological justification for the evaluation of selective glucocorticoid receptor modulators in combination with chemotherapy for patients with platinum-resistant OC, and recall available Phase III findings with this novel approach.
- Assess the incidence of cadherin-6 expression in OC, and understand the structural components of, mechanism of action of and available data with novel ADCs directed at this target.
- Review published clinical research findings documenting the efficacy of HER2-targeted agents and regimens in patients with HER2-overexpressing OC and other gynecologic cancers, and consider the role of ADCs and other approaches.
- Describe the scientific justification for, published research data with and current research studies of novel agents and strategies in OC, and effectively prioritize clinical trial opportunities for eligible patients.
