CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This activity is intended for gynecologic oncologists, medical oncologists, gynecologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of gynecologic cancers.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Appraise guideline recommendations, consensus statements and clinical investigator perspectives regarding the indications for and selection of genetic testing platforms in ovarian cancer (OC), and use the results of these assessments to guide long-term treatment.
  • Evaluate the FDA approval of olaparib as maintenance therapy after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with advanced OC harboring a deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA germline or somatic mutation, and counsel appropriate individuals regarding personalized treatment recommendations.
  • Recognize the recent FDA approval of niraparib as first-line maintenance therapy for patients with advanced OC with or without BRCA mutations, and identify individuals for whom treatment with this agent may be appropriate.
  • Understand the biologic rationale for and available data with the use of PARP inhibitors in combination with anti-angiogenic agents, and discern how this strategy affects current therapeutic algorithms.
  • Appreciate available clinical trial data with PARP inhibition in combination with front-line chemotherapy and then as maintenance treatment for patients with newly diagnosed OC, and evaluate the potential role of this novel therapeutic approach.
  • Assess available clinical trial data with and approved indications for FDA-endorsed PARP inhibitors for patients with recurrent, platinum-sensitive and multiple regimen-refractory OC in order to personalize care plans incorporating these agents.
  • Recognize the toxicities associated with PARP inhibitors commonly used in the care of patients with OC, and offer supportive management strategies to minimize or ameliorate these side effects.
  • Develop an understanding of the rationale for, emerging data with and potential clinical roles of combining PARP inhibitors with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies, and counsel appropriate patients about the availability of and participation in research studies.
