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

OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2019, 22,530 new cases of ovarian cancer (OC) will be diagnosed in the United States and 13,980 deaths from the disease will occur. For this reason, significant financial and intellectual resources have been invested over the past few decades in attempts to better understand the natural history of the disease, identify genetic and other factors responsible for its proliferation and develop novel therapies with the potential to significantly improve outcomes for patients. Perhaps the largest recent advance in OC has been the introduction of PARP inhibitors into the therapeutic milieu. However, the paradigm shift brought forth by the availability of PARP inhibitors has significant ramifications for practicing clinicians who must now confront a variety of practical issues, and uncertainties with regard to the safe and efficacious use of these agents persist.

This CME program developed from the proceedings of a satellite symposium held during the Society of Gynecologic Oncology’s 2019 Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer features video slide presentations given by leading researchers with an expertise in gynecologic cancers on the emerging considerations that drive clinical decision-making about the use of PARP inhibitors in the management of OC. By providing information on the latest research developments and their potential application to routine practice, this activity is designed to assist medical oncologists, gynecologic oncologists and other healthcare providers with the formulation of up-to-date clinical management strategies.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Recognize the recent FDA approval of olaparib as maintenance therapy after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with advanced OC and a deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA germline or somatic mutation, and consider how the availability of this strategy affects current therapeutic algorithms.
• Assess available clinical trial data with and FDA indications for the various PARP inhibitors when used as maintenance therapy for recurrent, platinum-sensitive OC, and develop strategies to identify patients for whom this approach might be appropriate.
• Identify patients with multiregimen-refractory OC who may be appropriate candidates for a PARP inhibitor, and safely integrate these agents into nonresearch therapy.
• Recognize the toxicities associated with PARP inhibitors commonly used in the care of patients with OC, and offer supportive management strategies to minimize and/or ameliorate these side effects.
• Develop an understanding of the mechanisms of action of, available data with and possible clinical roles of other investigational PARP inhibitors in preparation for their potential introduction into clinical practice.
• Recall the biologic rationale for and ongoing research efforts evaluating the role of PARP inhibitors in combination with chemotherapy, targeted therapy or immunotherapy, and refer appropriate patients for clinical trial participation.
