From a Distance: SGO Annual Meeting 2025 - Ovarian Cancer Highlights

I was unable to attend the SGO Annual meeting this year due to a family commitment but I did follow along on X(Twitter).

To kept on top of the action, I followed SGO Social Media Ambassadors Social Media Ambassadors on X- @RiosDoriaMD , @nicoleflemingmd, @meddles28, and @ShannonWestin and others.

Here are some of their ovarian cancer research posts I found most interesting :

Trop-2 is a cell surface protein expressed by cancer cells 
ADC Antibody Drug Conjugate 
Stomatitis is inflammation of the mucous membranes of the mouth . 
58 patients in the study
 
GOG 3066/DENALI 
Azenosertib an enzyme inhibitor that binds to called Wee1 and disrupt cell reproduction. 
Cyclin E1 is a protein is encoded by the CCNE1 gene.

 

 GOG 3044
Afuresertib inhibitor of the serine/threonine protein kinase Akt (protein kinase B) . No significant difference in progression free or overall survival.

 


EWOC-1 was a study of three different chemotherapy regimens . Use of carboplatin alone was associated with poorer survival.

 

 Mirv MIRASOL Study of ocular events.

RAINFOL-01 study (NCT05579366)  

Rinatabart sesutecan (Rina-S) a novel folate receptor alpha (FRα)–targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). The treatment in  heavily pretreated patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer  showed activity regardless of folate receptor alpha (FRα) expression level.

 Low Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer 

Combo of Avutometinib  a Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK signaling inhibitor and Defactinib is small molecule inhibtor of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) for KRAS + recurrent low grade OC.

Please let me know if I missed anything you felt was important for patients/ survivors. 

 I was happy to see ways that patient advocates, researchers and clinicians were able to   #MultiplyYourImpact

Thank you Dr Fader (@amandanfader)  for your leadership!  I look forward to your vision for the future,  Dr Karen Lu (@karenluMD) !
