Novel Agents and Emerging Strategies in the Management of Gynecologic Cancers


 

Module 1: Biologic Rationale for and Current Research Database with Immune Checkpoint Inhibition in Gynecologic Cancers

Track 1: Microsatellite instability (MSI) testing algorithms for patients with gynecologic cancers
Track 2: Sequencing of immune checkpoint inhibitors for patients with gynecologic cancers
Track 3: Case (Dr Powell): A woman in her 60s attains a complete response after treatment with pembrolizumab and an IDO inhibitor on a clinical trial for recurrent MSI-high endometrial cancer
Track 4: Integration of checkpoint inhibitors into the treatment algorithm for cervical cancer
Track 5: Biologic rationale for the use of checkpoint inhibitors for cervical cancer
Track 6: Case (Dr Westin): A woman in her 40s with recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix that was PD-L1-positive experiences a durable response to pembrolizumab
Track 7: Role of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of gynecologic cancers
Track 8: Duration of response to checkpoint inhibitors
Track 9: GARNET: A Phase I study investigating the efficacy of the novel anti-PD-1 antibody TSR-042 in patients with previously treated MSI-high endometrial cancer

Module 2: Targeting Folate Receptor Alpha in Patients with Gynecologic Cancers

Track 10: Biologic rationale for targeting the folate receptor alpha in patients with gynecologic cancers
Track 11: Efficacy and tolerability of the antibody-drug conjugate mirvetuximab soravtansine in patients with ovarian cancer
Track 12: Ongoing investigation of mirvetuximab soravtansine for patients with ovarian cancer
Track 13: Case (Dr Birrer): A woman in her 60s with Stage IIIC ovarian cancer experiences disease progression on multiple lines of therapy and then attains a partial response after receiving mirvetuximab soravtansine on the FORWARD I trial

Module 3: Other Novel Agents and Strategies Under Investigation for Cervical, Endometrial and Ovarian Cancer

Track 14: Case (Dr Westin): A woman in her 50s with Stage IV squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix receives the novel anti-tissue factor antibody-drug conjugate tisotumab vedotin on a clinical trial after experiencing disease progression on chemotherapy
Track 15: Case (Dr O’Malley): A woman in her 60s with recurrent ovarian cancer receives mirvetuximab soravtansine and carboplatin/bevacizumab on the FORWARD II trial
Track 16: Mechanism of action and efficacy of axalimogene filolisbac, a novel Listeria-based immunotherapy, in patients with high-risk advanced cervical cancer
Track 17: Molecular profiling for patients with gynecologic cancers

Module 4: Ongoing Trials Examining the Role of Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 Antibody Combination Strategies

Track 18: Dose interruption or discontinuation due to immune-related adverse events with checkpoint inhibitors
Track 19: Correlation between autoimmune toxicity and response with checkpoint inhibitors
Track 20: Effect of the gut microbiome on activity of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies
Track 21: Case (Dr Powell): A woman in her 60s with Stage IV uterine papillary serous carcinoma experiences a good clinical response to cabozantinib and nivolumab on a clinical trial
Track 22: Incidence of pseudoprogression and accelerated disease progression with checkpoint inhibitors
Track 23: Case (Dr Birrer): A woman in her 60s with MSI-high recurrent endometrial cancer and an intermediate tumor mutation burden attains a complete response with nivolumab
Track 24: Activity and tolerability of lenvatinib with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced recurrent endometrial cancer
