Episode Notes

In this episode, Brian Slomovitz, MD, MS, FACOG, and Keiichi Fujiwara, MD, PhD, share their thoughts and opinions on seminal data presented at the 2023 IGCS annual meeting for endometrial, ovarian, and cervical cancers, including:

• Phase III NRG GY018 trial of carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without pembrolizumab followed by pembrolizumab or placebo maintenance for 2 years in patients with measurable stage III/IVA, stage IVB, or recurrent endometrial cancer. 
• Phase III ENGOT-EN6/GOG-3031/RUBY trial of carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without dostarlimab followed by dostarlimab or placebo maintenance for 3 years in patients with primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. 
• Results from the double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase III AtTEnd trial of atezolizumab plus carboplatin/paclitaxel in advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer.
• Randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III DUO-E study of carboplatin and paclitaxel vs durvalumab plus carboplatin and paclitaxel followed by durvalumab maintenance with or without olaparib as frontline treatment of newly diagnosed, advanced, endometrial cancer.
• An international, randomized, multicenter phase III trial evaluating short-course chemotherapy followed by chemoradiation vs chemoradiation alone in patients with newly diagnosed stage IB1N+, IB2, II, IIIB, IVA squamous, adeno, adenosquamous cervical cancer (INTERLACE).
• Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III KEYNOTE-A18 trial of pembrolizumab plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy vs placebo plus chemoradiation in patients with high-risk locally advanced cervical cancer.
• Phase III ICON8B study comparing carboplatin, paclitaxel, and bevacizumab every 3 weeks vs dose-dense weekly paclitaxel plus bevacizumab every 3 weeks in newly diagnosed high-risk epithelial ovarian cancer, either stage III (with residual disease or requiring new adjuvant chemotherapy) or stage IV.
