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

    • Understand the biology of PARP inhibition, and consider expert recommendations for genetic testing that inform treatment decision-making for patients with OC.
    • Recognize the FDA approvals of olaparib, olaparib/bevacizumab and niraparib as maintenance therapy based on BRCA and homologous recombination status in the first-line setting for patients with advanced OC, and appropriately integrate these approaches into current care algorithms.
    • Appreciate the biologic rationale for and available data with the use of PARP inhibitors in combination with chemotherapy, and discern how these therapeutic approaches may affect treatment algorithms in the future.
    • Assess available clinical trial data with and approved indications for the use of PARP inhibitors for recurrent, platinum-sensitive and platinum-refractory OC in order to design personalized care plans potentially incorporating these agents.
    • Recognize the toxicities associated with PARP inhibitors commonly used for OC, and offer supportive management strategies to minimize or ameliorate these side effects.
