SGO Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer - Society of Gynecologic Oncology Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer

Pharmacy Times will be covering the upcoming Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer live in Phoenix, Arizona, taking place March 18 through 21.

The analysis found that more than twice as many women who received olaparib were still alive 5 years after the beginning of the study with no progression of their cancer.

DKN-01 is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to and blocks the activity of the Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) protein, which activates the innate immune system in the tumor microenvironment and anti-tumor activity.

Results from the phase 3 KEYNOTE-775/study 309 trial found that Keytruda plus Lenvima reduced risk of death by 38%, with a median overall survival of 18.3 months

When analyzing the odds of death or hospitalization due to COVID-19, the researchers found that use of cytotoxic chemotherapy did not predict increased risk for either.

The company received Fast Track designation from the FDA for GEN-1, a DNA-mediated interleukin-12 (IL-12) immunotherapy.

The IGCS Mentorship and Training Program seeks to provide training and education to regions without formal training programs in gynecologic oncology.

According to study results presented at the SGO meeting, biopsies showed no signs of cancer or precancer in two-thirds of 165 women with stage I endometrial cancer or atypical endometrial hyperplasia, 6 months after insertion of the hormonal IUD.

The objective of the study was to examine a large clinical dataset of LGSC through the Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium, with the primary goal of identifying factors that affect survival.

A study presented at the Society of Gynecologic Oncology 2020 Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer showed menstrual cups may provide a novel, less invasive, and more comfortable approach to the diagnosis of endometrial cancer.

With new and varying options for maintenance therapy in patients with ovarian cancer, patients may express a preference when discussing potential maintenance treatments and their adverse effects.

In preliminary data from the trial evaluating dostarlimab, the results demonstrated that the clinical activity in patients with previously treated recurrent or advanced mismatch repair (MMR)-deficient endometrial cancer had an acceptable safety profile.

Treatment of ovarian cancer with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors has a high out-of-pocket cost for patients, with substantial variation among them, according to a study.

An interview with Debra Richardson, MD, examined the phase 2 study that included niraparib with bevacizumab for patients with either a complete or partial response after upfront chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer.

In a population of patients newly diagnosed with ovarian cancer, researchers demonstrated that therapy is well tolerated among both patients who are BRCA-positive and -negative.

The combination of olaparib plus bevacizumab lead to a potentially meaningful improvement in progression-free survival versus olaparib alone in women with BRCA-mutated newly diagnosed ovarian cancer.

The JAVELIN trial is a randomized, open-label, phase 3 trial comparing avelumab in combination with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone.

In patients with BRCA wild type carcinomas, treatment with veliparib was beneficial even at low homologous recombination deficiency scores compared with carboplatin and paclitaxel.

The addition of pazoparib to gemcitabine enhances anti-tumor activity, particularly for patients with platinum-resistant disease who derived the most benefit from combination therapy, even in the setting of receiving prior bevacizumab.

The JAVELIN trial is a randomized, open-label, phase 3 trial comparing avelumab in combination with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone.

Researchers presented findings in conjunction with the Society of Gynecologic Oncology 2020 Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer on the phase 3 VELIA trial studying the safety of veliparib.

The CLIO trial evaluated olaparib single-agent therapy versus standard-of-care chemotherapy in platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer.

The objective of the study was to analyze whether USC would be uniquely sensitive to further interference of cell cycle regulation by Wee1 inhibition.

The objective of the study was to find whether niraparib improves PFS in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer after first-line (1L) platinum-based chemotherapy (CT).

XMT-1536, a first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate NaPi2B was well tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicities in patients with ovarian cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

However, the magnitude of the progression-free survival (PFS) benefit is greatest when surgery achieved complete surgical debulking, specifically in the upfront setting.

The objective of the study was to analyze whether niraparib improves PFS in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer after response to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.

Front-line use of vigil immunotherapy as maintenance in stage 3-4 ovarian cancer was well tolerated and demonstrated relapse-free survival clinical benefit.

Study findings suggest that veliparib added to carboplatin and paclitaxel during combination phase may provide anti-tumor activity versus carboplatin and paclitaxel alone.

Homologous recombination deficiency is not predictive of patient outcomes for veliparib-throughout versus control in patients with BRAC wildtype ovarian carcinomas.
