5575 Background: Few platinum resistant ovarian cancer (PROvC) patients respond to anti-PD1 monotherapy (ORR 7.6%) with little impact on survival (OS 10.1 mo). Among responders the median duration of response is impressive (18.7 mo) (Hamanishi 2021). Methods: We have evaluated the combination of pembrolizumab (200mg), with bevacizumab (400mg)...

There is a high unmet medical need for disease control in platinum resistant epithelial ovarian cancer patients (PROC). PemBOv trial (NCT03596281) showed promising results with the combination of pembrolizumab plus short-term flat dose bevacizumab with or without pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) based chemotherapy. However, overall, 20 %...

Background: More than 10% of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC) will develop Central Nervous System (CNS) metastases as first and isolated site of relapse on trastuzumab and pertuzumab first-line therapy. However, few clinical data are available to guide the best strategy in this setting.Methods: Patients experiencing isolated CNS...
