Rucaparib maintenance treatment for recurrent ovarian carcinoma after response to platinum therapy (ARIEL3): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial

Robert L. Coleman, +116 more
- 28 Oct 2017 - 
TL;DR: This trial assessed rucaparib versus placebo after response to second-line or later platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with high-grade, recurrent, platinum-sensitive ovarian carcinoma harbouring a BRCA mutation or high percentage of genome-wide loss of heterozygosity.
Journal ArticleDOI

EMT transcription factors snail and slug directly contribute to cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer

TL;DR: This work strongly suggests that genes associated with EMT may play a significant role in cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer, therefore potentially leading to the development of predictive biomarkers of drug response or novel therapeutic strategies for overcoming drug resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

The DNA repair proteins BRCA1 and ERCC1 as predictive markers in sporadic ovarian cancer

TL;DR: Low BRCA1 and ERCC1 expression correlate with improved survival in advanced OC and HDAC inhibition induces synergistic cytotoxicity with platinum in vitro, suggesting that this compound directly targets DNA repair.
