Chemotherapy remains the standard of care for the treatment of ovarian cancer, but new classes of drugs such as angiogenesis inhibitors and, more recently, PARP inhibitors have entered the therapeutic landscape for this indication. The regulatory approvals of targeted therapies, such as Roche / Genentech’s Avastin, AstraZeneca’s Lynparza, Clovis Oncology’s Rubraca, and Tesaro’s Zejula, have changed physicians’ prescribing habits and created new dynamics in treatment sequencing. In December 2018, Lynparza became the first PARP inhibitor to gain FDA approval as a first-line maintenance therapy for ovarian cancer with BRCA mutations.
