CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for gynecologic oncologists, medical oncologists, gynecologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of ovarian cancer (OC).

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Understand available clinical research findings with PARP inhibitors as maintenance therapy after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with advanced OC, and provide appropriate counsel regarding personalized treatment recommendations.
    • Assess available clinical trial data with and newly adapted indications for the use of FDA-endorsed PARP inhibitors for patients with recurrent, platinum-sensitive and multiregimen-refractory OC in order to optimally and appropriately incorporate these agents into current management algorithms.
    • Evaluate the biological rationale for and published research data with PARP inhibitors in combination with other systemic therapies, and consider the current and future clinical and research implications of these findings for OC management.
    • Appraise biological and patient- and treatment-related factors to individualize the selection and sequencing of therapy for platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant recurrent OC.
    • Recognize the rationale for targeting folate receptor alpha in OC, and determine optimal methods of testing for this newly relevant biomarker and the current role of novel approaches in therapeutically exploiting it.
    • Appreciate the side effects associated with various systemic therapies commonly employed in the management of OC, and use this information to develop supportive care plans for patients who receive these agents.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for OC, and appropriately counsel patients about availability and participation.
