The phase III PRIMA/ENGOT-OV26/GOG-3012 trial evaluated the efficacy of niraparib as a first-line maintenance treatment for patients with advanced ovarian cancer who responded to platinum-based chemotherapy. In this final analysis, no significant difference in overall survival was observed between niraparib and placebo in the overall or homologous recombination-deficient (HRd) populations. However, long-term progression-free survival and […]

The ATHENA trial evaluated the effectiveness of rucaparib (RUCA) monotherapy (MONO) and rucaparib combined with nivolumab (NIVO) (COMBO) in patients with advanced high-grade ovarian cancer (AHGOC). In the MONO arm, rucaparib showed sustained progression-free survival (PFS) of 20.2 months after first-line treatment. However, the COMBO arm did not improve PFS, with median PFS being shorter […]

The annual European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO) Congress, held from 7–10 March 2024, in Barcelona, Spain, celebrated its 25th anniversary this year. This year’s congress brought together over 2,500 participants from all over the world, and featured groundbreaking research, clinical advancements and professional development opportunities.

To further understand the key developments and research presented in the field of gynaecological oncology at ASCO 2024, we spoke with Dr. Domenica Lorusso, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Humanitas University of Milan, Italy. In this interview, Dr. Lorusso discusses the findings from the BrUOG 354 (NCT03355976), AGO-OVAR 2.29/ENGOT-ov34 (NCT03353831), KEYVIBE-005 (NCT05007106), and CARACO (NCT01218490) trials, offering her valuable insights into the potential impact these results could have on clinical practice.
