Maintenance fuzuloparib prolongs survival in ovarian cancer

12 Apr 2024 by

Maintenance therapy with fuzuloparib results in significant improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) in patients newly diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer, who showed response to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy (PBC), reports a study (FZOCUS-1) presented at SGO 2024.

Niraparib maintenance yields favourable OS trend in patients with ovarian cancer

12 Apr 2024 by

Maintenance treatment with niraparib, a potent, highly selective PARP* inhibitor, provides a favourable overall survival (OS) trend compared with placebo in Chinese patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer (PSROC), regardless of germline BRCA (gBRCA) mutation status, according to the ﬁnal analysis of the NORA trial presented at SGO 2024.

ATR inhibitor promise for advanced solid tumours dimmed by liver toxicity

10 Apr 2024

Gartisertib, an oral inhibitor of ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein (ATR), for patients with advanced solid tumours is well tolerated at lower doses, according to the results of a phase I study. However, unexpected liver toxicity prevents dose escalation and, in turn, limits the drug’s antitumour activity.

Survival outcomes similar between minimally invasive interval debulking surgery and laparotomy

05 Apr 2024 by

A minimally invasive approach to interval debulking surgery appears to be just as effective as the use of an open technique for epithelial ovarian cancer, with no significant difference in overall survival (OS) when complete tumour resection is achieved, according to a study.

Pembrolizumab plus chemo ups survival in advanced endometrial cancer across MMR subgroups

02 Apr 2024 by

Adding pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy resulted in a favourable overall survival (OS) benefit in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer compared with chemotherapy alone, regardless of mismatch repair (MMR) status, according to a key prespecified secondary analysis of the NRG-GY018 trial presented at the SGO 2024.
