On the basis of three large randomized phase III trials, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) issued a Clinical Announcement in January 2006 recommending that women with optimally debulked stage III ovarian cancer and their physicians consider a combination of intravenous (IV) and intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy. The combination of IV and IP chemotherapy is associated with a clinically significant benefit in survival, although it does also confer an increased risk of toxicity compared to IV chemotherapy alone. The NCI Clinical Announcement was issued as part of a broader educational campaign, designed in conjunction with professional societies, cancer centers, Clinical Trials Cooperative Groups, and cancer advocacy organizations. The further development of IP chemotherapy in ovarian cancer requires additional clinical and translational research

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor maintenance therapy is the latest breakthrough in the management of newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer. The results of the SOLO-1 trial in 2018 led to European Medicines Agency and Food and Drug Administration approval of olaparib as first-line maintenance therapy in patients with BRCA1/2 mutation, establishing a new standard of care. Subsequently, the results of three phase III trials (PRIMA, PAOLA-1, VELIA) evaluating the use of first-line PARP inhibitors beyond patients with BRCA1/2 mutations and as combination strategies were presented in 2019, leading to the recent approval of maintenance niraparib irrespective of biomarker status and olaparib in combination with bevacizumab in homologous recombination deficiency-positive-associated advanced ovarian cancer. An ESMO Open - Cancer Horizons round-table expert panel discussed the four phase III trials of first-line PARP inhibitor therapy and how they are changing the clinical management of advanced ovarian cancer.
