Dostarlimab Delivers Durable Responses in dMMR/MMRp Endometrial Cancer

March 24th 2021

AVB-500/Paclitaxel Demonstrates Clinical Benefit in Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer

March 23rd 2021

The GAS6/AXL inhibitor AVB-500, when combined with paclitaxel, elicited clinical benefit with favorable tolerability in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, according to data from a phase 1b study.

Olaparib Maintains Acceptable Safety Profile in Platinum-Sensitive, Relapsed Ovarian Cancer

March 22nd 2021

Olaparib, when used in patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer who had a known BRCA mutation and homologous recombination deficiency status, demonstrated adverse effects that proved to be consistent with the established safety profile of the PARP inhibitor.

Olaparib/Cediranib Fails to Significantly Improve PFS Over Cediranib Alone in Advanced Endometrial Cancer

March 22nd 2021

Although the combination of olaparib and cediranib showcased modest efficacy over cediranib alone in patients with recurrent, metastatic or persistent endometrial cancer, the difference was not statistically significant.

Pembrolizumab/Lenvatinib Improves Survival, ORR in Advanced Endometrial Cancer, Regardless of MMR Status

March 20th 2021

The combination of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib improved progression-free and overall survival, as well as response rates, compared with chemotherapy in patients with advanced endometrial cancer who received prior platinum-based chemotherapy, irrespective of mismatch repair status, according to phase 3 findings of the Study-309/KEYNOTE-775 trial.

Analyses Underscore Extent of Frontline Maintenance Niraparib Benefit in Ovarian Cancer

April 11th 2020

The success of frontline maintenance niraparib in the phase III PRIMA trial extends to meeting biomarker-defined and other secondary endpoints and showing positive patient-reported outcomes.

Addition of Trastuzumab to Chemo Boosts Survival in HER2+ Uterine Serous Carcinoma

April 10th 2020

The addition of trastuzumab to carboplatin and paclitaxel resulted in a significant survival benefit in women with advanced or recurrent, HER2-positive uterine serous carcinoma, with the greatest benefit observed in those with stage III/IV disease who received the regimen up front.

Dr. O'Malley on Maintenance Rucaparib in Non-BRCA HRR-Mutated Ovarian Cancer

April 9th 2020

David O’Malley, MD, discusses the rationale to evaluate the clinical benefit of rucaparib maintenance treatment following disease progression in a subgroup of patients with ovarian cancer whose disease is associated with a mutation in a non-BRCA homologous recombination gene in the phase III ARIEL3 trial in ovarian cancer.

Dr. Fader on Adding Trastuzumab to Chemo in HER2+ Uterine Serous Carcinoma

April 9th 2020

Amanda Nickles Fader, MD, discusses findings from a randomized phase II trial examining the efficacy of adding trastuzumab to carboplatin/paclitaxel in patients with advanced or recurrent uterine serous carcinomas that overexpress HER2/neu.

Olaparib/Bevacizumab as Frontline Maintenance Improves PFS in Ovarian Cancer, Regardless of Timing of Surgery, Disease Status

April 8th 2020
