Ovarian Cancer Treatment Regimens

Ovarian Cancer Treatment Regimens

Clinical Trials: The NCCN recommends cancer patient participation in clinical trials as the gold standard for treatment.

Cancer therapy selection, dosing, administration, and the management of related adverse events can be a complex process that should be handled by an experienced healthcare team. Clinicians must choose and verify treatment options based on the individual patient; drug dose modifications and supportive care interventions should be administered accordingly. The cancer treatment regimens below may include both U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved and unapproved indications/regimens. These regimens are only provided to supplement the latest treatment strategies.

These Guidelines are a work in progress that may be refined as often as new significant data becomes available. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network Guidelines® are a consensus statement of its authors regarding their views of currently accepted approaches to treatment. Any clinician seeking to apply or consult any NCCN Guidelines® is expected to use independent medical judgment in the context of individual clinical circumstances to determine any patient’s care or treatment. The NCCN makes no warranties of any kind whatsoever regarding their content, use, or application and disclaims any responsibility for their application or use in any way.

 e.  The published randomized trial regimen used IV continuous infusion paclitaxel over 24 hours.

  f.  An FDA-approved biosimilar is an appropriate substitute for bevacizumab.

 g.  Chemotherapy as per epithelial ovarian cancer is preferred over other regimens.

 h.  Hydration is required pre- and postadministration of Ifosfamide.

  i.  3 cycles for good risk disease (Category 2B); 4 cycles for poor risk disease.

  j.  If response after chemotherapy, bevacizumab can be continued as maintenance therapy until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Discontinue bevacizumab before initiating maintenance therapy with a PARP inhibitor.

 k.  For patients treated with 3 or more prior chemotherapy regimens and whose cancer is associated with homologous recombination deficient (HRD)-positive status defined by either: (1) a deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA mutation; or (2) genomic instability and progression >6months after response to the last platinum-based chemotherapy.

  l.  For patients with deleterious germline BRCA-mutated (as detected by an FDA-approved test or other validated test performed in a CLIA-approved facility) advanced ovarian cancer who have been treated with 3 or more lines of chemotherapy.

m. For patients with deleterious germline and/or somatic BRCA mutated (as detected by an FDA-approved test or other validated test performed in a CLIA-approved facility) advanced ovarian cancer who have been treated with two or more lines of chemotherapy.

 n. High-dose chemotherapy regimens vary among institutions.
