Meeting space has been assigned to provide a symposium supported by AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP, Clovis Oncology and Tesaro Inc during the Oncology Nursing Society’s (ONS) 43rd Annual Congress, May 16-20, 2018 in Washington, DC. The Oncology Nursing Society’s assignment of meeting space does not imply product endorsement.

Module 1: Natural History of Ovarian Cancer (OC)

DISCUSSION TOPICS

  • Biology of OC and specific histologic and clinical subtypes
  • Clinical presentation and staging
  • Role of tumor markers (CA-125) in disease monitoring

Module 2: Contemporary Clinical Algorithms in OC

DISCUSSION TOPICS

  • Local and systemic treatment approaches for patients presenting with newly diagnosed OC
  • Biologic rationale for the use of “maintenance therapy” after chemotherapy
  • Mechanisms and determinants of platinum resistance
  • Defining and prioritizing treatment options for platinum-sensitive versus platinum-resistant recurrent disease
  • Deciding between bevacizumab, a PARP inhibitor and no further maintenance therapy for patients with platinum-sensitive disease; role of BRCA1/2 mutation status in this decision
  • Long-term outcomes among women with and without BRCA mutations

Module 3: Genetic Testing in OC

DISCUSSION TOPICS

  • Frequency and clinical significance of BRCA germline and somatic mutations
  • Similarities and differences among available genetic testing platforms; role of extended panel testing/next-generation sequencing
  • Genetic counseling for patients with OC and their family members
  • Identification of “BRCA-like” and other genomic signatures (eg, HRD) that may predict benefit from PARP inhibition
  • Incidence and potential clinical relevance of other inherited mutations (eg, RAD51C, RAD51D, BRIP1)

Module 4: Available and Emerging Clinical Trial Data with PARP Inhibitors for the Treatment of OC

DISCUSSION TOPICS

  • FDA indications for and optimal integration of niraparib, olaparib and rucaparib into contemporary OC treatment algorithms
  • Design, eligibility requirements and results from the Phase III NOVA (niraparib), SOLO-2 (olaparib) and ARIEL-3 (rucaparib) trials evaluating PARP inhibition as maintenance therapy in patients with platinum-sensitive OC
  • Stratification and related outcomes for various patient subsets (eg, BRCA mutation-positive, HRD-positive, wild-type) enrolled on Phase III PARP inhibitor maintenance trials
  • Biologic rationale for and ongoing trials evaluating PARP inhibitors in earlier lines of therapy or combined with other agents (eg, anti-angiogenics)

Module 5: Practical Integration of PARP Inhibitors into the Care of Patients with Recurrent OC

DISCUSSION TOPICS

  • Toxicities associated with the use of available PARP inhibitors and strategies to prevent and/or ameliorate them; indications for the use of supportive care measures and/or treatment modifications/delays
  • Timing of and recommended monitoring protocols for toxicities observed in patients receiving PARP inhibitors
  • Differentiating between disease-related symptoms and treatment-associated adverse events in patients with advanced OC
  • Practical strategies to address common quality-of-life concerns in patients receiving treatment for advanced OC, including:
    • Insomnia
    • Anxiety
    • Peripheral neuropathy
    • Ascites
    • Anemia
    • Thrombocytopenia
    • Fatigue
    • Nausea and other gastrointestinal issues
    • Increases in creatinine
    • Issues with treatment adherence

Target Audience:
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists involved in the treatment of ovarian cancer (OC).

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Demonstrate knowledge of existing guidelines and consensus statements regarding the rationale for genetic testing and counseling for all patients with newly diagnosed OC regardless of family history.
  • Appreciate available clinical trial data with and approved indications for FDA-endorsed PARP inhibitors to appropriately integrate these agents into the routine care of patients with OC.
  • Understand the dosing requirements and other practical considerations for the use of PARP inhibitors for women with OC to ensure appropriate administration and patient compliance.
  • Describe the potential toxicities of FDA-approved PARP inhibitors, and use this information to design effective monitoring strategies for patients receiving these agents.
  • Develop an evidence-based algorithm for the prevention and amelioration of side effects associated with the use of PARP inhibitors for the treatment of platinum-sensitive and platinum-recurrent advanced OC.
  • Identify opportunities to enhance the collaborative role of oncology nurses in the comprehensive biopsychosocial care of patients with OC to optimize clinical and quality-of-life outcomes.
