Agenda
Module 1: Natural History of Ovarian Cancer (OC)
DISCUSSION TOPICS
Biology of OC and specific histologic and clinical subtypes
Clinical presentation and staging
Role of tumor markers (CA-125) in disease monitoring
Module 2: Contemporary Clinical Algorithms in OC
DISCUSSION TOPICS
Local and systemic treatment approaches for patients presenting with newly diagnosed OC
Biologic rationale for the use of “maintenance therapy” after chemotherapy
Mechanisms and determinants of platinum resistance
Defining and prioritizing treatment options for platinum-sensitive versus platinum-resistant recurrent disease
Deciding between bevacizumab, a PARP inhibitor and no further maintenance therapy for patients with platinum-sensitive disease; role of BRCA1/2 mutation status in this decision
Long-term outcomes among women with and without BRCA mutations
Module 3: Genetic Testing in OC
DISCUSSION TOPICS
Frequency and clinical significance of BRCA germline and somatic mutations
Similarities and differences among available genetic testing platforms; role of extended panel testing/next-generation sequencing
Genetic counseling for patients with OC and their family members
Identification of “BRCA-like” and other genomic signatures (eg, HRD) that may predict benefit from PARP inhibition
Incidence and potential clinical relevance of other inherited mutations (eg, RAD51C, RAD51D, BRIP1)
Module 4: Available and Emerging Clinical Trial Data with PARP Inhibitors for the Treatment of OC
DISCUSSION TOPICS
FDA indications for and optimal integration of niraparib, olaparib and rucaparib into contemporary OC treatment algorithms
Design, eligibility requirements and results from the Phase III NOVA (niraparib), SOLO-2 (olaparib) and ARIEL-3 (rucaparib) trials evaluating PARP inhibition as maintenance therapy in patients with platinum-sensitive OC
Stratification and related outcomes for various patient subsets (eg, BRCA mutation-positive, HRD-positive, wild-type) enrolled on Phase III PARP inhibitor maintenance trials
Biologic rationale for and ongoing trials evaluating PARP inhibitors in earlier lines of therapy or combined with other agents (eg, anti-angiogenics)
Module 5: Practical Integration of PARP Inhibitors into the Care of Patients with Recurrent OC
DISCUSSION TOPICS
Toxicities associated with the use of available PARP inhibitors and strategies to prevent and/or ameliorate them; indications for the use of supportive care measures and/or treatment modifications/delays
Timing of and recommended monitoring protocols for toxicities observed in patients receiving PARP inhibitors
Differentiating between disease-related symptoms and treatment-associated adverse events in patients with advanced OC
Practical strategies to address common quality-of-life concerns in patients receiving treatment for advanced OC, including:
Insomnia
Anxiety
Peripheral neuropathy
Ascites
Anemia
Thrombocytopenia
Fatigue
Nausea and other gastrointestinal issues
Increases in creatinine
Issues with treatment adherence
CE Information
Target Audience:
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists involved in the treatment of ovarian cancer (OC).
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
Demonstrate knowledge of existing guidelines and consensus statements regarding the rationale for genetic testing and counseling for all patients with newly diagnosed OC regardless of family history.
Appreciate available clinical trial data with and approved indications for FDA-endorsed PARP inhibitors to appropriately integrate these agents into the routine care of patients with OC.
Understand the dosing requirements and other practical considerations for the use of PARP inhibitors for women with OC to ensure appropriate administration and patient compliance.
Describe the potential toxicities of FDA-approved PARP inhibitors, and use this information to design effective monitoring strategies for patients receiving these agents.
Develop an evidence-based algorithm for the prevention and amelioration of side effects associated with the use of PARP inhibitors for the treatment of platinum-sensitive and platinum-recurrent advanced OC.
Identify opportunities to enhance the collaborative role of oncology nurses in the comprehensive biopsychosocial care of patients with OC to optimize clinical and quality-of-life outcomes.
