CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity is intended for medical and gynecologic oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of ovarian cancer (OC).

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Consider available clinical research findings with PARP inhibitors as maintenance therapy after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer (OC), and counsel appropriate patients regarding personalized treatment recommendations.
    • Assess available clinical trial data with and newly adapted indications for FDA-endorsed PARP inhibitors for recurrent OC in order to appropriately incorporate these agents into current management algorithms.
    • Evaluate the biologic rationale for and published and emerging clinical research with PARP inhibitors in combination with other systemic therapies, and consider the clinical and research implications of these findings for OC management.
    • Recognize the rationale for targeting folate receptor alpha in OC, determine optimal methods to test for this newly relevant biomarker, and assess the current role of novel approaches to therapeutically exploit it.
    • Appreciate the incidence of sodium-dependent phosphate transport protein 2b expression in OC, and evaluate published research with and ongoing clinical trials investigating agents designed to exploit this potential therapeutic target.
    • Describe the scientific rationale for the use of tumor treating fields as a therapeutic approach for patients with OC, and appraise the available efficacy and safety data with this strategy in combination with chemotherapy for recurrent, advanced disease.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for OC, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
