Ovarian Cancer
The final overall survival analysis of the phase 2 LIGHT study indicates that olaparib therapy in patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer provides overall survival benefit across patient cohorts, regardless of BRCA mutation and homologous recombination deficiency status, with a safety profile consistent with that previously described.

Results of the primary analysis of the phase 3b OPINION study supported the use of olaparib maintenance therapy in patients with nongermline BRCA1/2-mutated platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer. Read More ›
Personalized starting doses of niraparib based on body weight and platelet count are associated with reductions in thrombocytopenia and other hematologic events. Read More ›
Treatment with rucaparib was associated with improvements in progression-free survival, time to first subsequent treatment, and other post-progression efficacy end points. Read More ›
This real-world study based primarily on community-based practice data showed that a key predictor of time to next treatment and mortality in patients with advanced ovarian cancer was visible residual disease. Read More ›
Results from a previous study indicated that treatment with the combination would lead to improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) compared with treatment with olaparib alone. Read More ›
When utilized as maintenance therapy after frontline treatment of ovarian cancer in patients with BRCAwt tumors, niraparib improved progression-free survival (PFS), even in the most difficult-to-treat patients. Read More ›
In this study, researchers explored whether there is a potential synergistic effect of olaparib when combined with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, highlighting a potential means to improve tolerability. Read More ›
The phase 3 ENGOT-ov50/GOG-3029/INNOVATE-3 study is exploring the use of an antimitotic therapy tumor treating (TT) fields plus weekly paclitaxel in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Read More ›
