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) !

ASCO23 Day 3 :Parp Inhibitors & Late Breaking Abstract session

While there were fewer gynecologic cancer sessions on Day 3, Sunday June 4th there were two important sessions regarding the use of PARP inhibitors and trial results for a drug to teat  platinum resistant ovarian cancer drug which may be change practice.

Parp Inhibitor Optimal Selection and Toxicity Management 

Dr Tew - Status updates on Parp use


Dr Friedlander- Real World Experience in Managing PARP Toxicities 


 


 


 Susan Feinberg  (FORCE) - Living on a PARPi 


 


Late Breaking Abstract Session  
Mirvetixumab in Folate Receptor Alpha positive platinum resistant ovarian cancer

I wish I had been able to be in the room when this session took place. I could feel the excitement from the Tweets being posted.  This is the first trial to show overall survival benefit in platinum resistant ovarian cancer! This is practice changing. 

 Here is a slide of the overall survival  MIRV 16.46 months vs investigator choice of treatment 12.75 months.


 Stop by tomorrow for highlights from my last day of ASCO - Day 4 .
