  • Overview

    The establishment of poly (adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors as an effective therapeutic strategy in ovarian cancer has been made possible through a deepened understanding of the impact of mutations in DNA damage response pathways on tumorigenesis. The success of this approach has led to the regulatory approval of PARP inhibitors for the treatment of patients with advanced ovarian cancer. PARP inhibitors as first-line maintenance therapy demonstrate a substantial and clinically meaningful benefit in progression-free survival among patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer, including BRCA-mutated and HRD-positive disease. In some cases, regulatory approvals of PARP inhibitors have brought approvals for companion diagnostics or complementary diagnostic tests. Together, these developments have yielded a wealth of new options for managing ovarian cancer but have also complicated the effectiveness of the multidisciplinary care team, which is essential for the highest standard of cancer care delivery, linking emerging treatments and guidelines with patient education and empowerment. Another vital component of ovarian cancer care is the use of shared decision-making and patient-reported outcomes to increase patient satisfaction, therapy adherence, and quality of life. 

    In this educational activity, expert faculty will review the role of genetic testing in identifying patients likely to benefit from first-line maintenance PARP inhibitor therapy, such as those with BRCA1/2 pathologic variants and other causes of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) positivity; updated clinical data surrounding PARP inhibitors as first-line maintenance therapy; and how the earlier introduction of PARP inhibitors fits in the treatment paradigm of ovarian cancer and may benefit a greater number of patients than in the relapsed setting.

    1. What Is Cytogenetic Testing and Why Should I Use It? Identification of Patients Who Might Benefit from PARP Inhibitor Therapy 
    1. Where Do PARP Inhibitors Fit in the Treatment Paradigm of Ovarian Cancer? Practical Strategies 
    1. Clinical Data for PARP Inhibitors as Maintenance Therapy for Newly-Diagnosed Advanced Ovarian Cancer 
    1. PARP Inhibitors as Maintenance Therapy and Treatment for Relapsed/Recurrent Advanced Ovarian Cancer
