Recurrent epithelial ovarian / fallopian tube / primary peritoneal cancer
Confirm prior platinum exposure and current line of therapy
Determine platinum-free interval (PFI)
PFI > 6 months
Platinum-sensitive recurrence
Consider platinum re-treatment if appropriate
If platinum inappropriate: use non-platinum / biomarker-directed options
Review biomarkers and prior exposure
Cyclin E1 overexpression / CCNE1 amplification
CDK2 inhibitor clinical trial
Monitor toxicity, response, symptoms, and goals of care
At progression: reassess biomarkers, prior exposure, toxicity, access, trial eligibility, and goals of care
No actionable biomarker or preferred option unavailable
Bevacizumab + chemotherapy or single-agent chemotherapy
Monitor toxicity, response, symptoms, and goals of care
At progression: reassess biomarkers, prior exposure, toxicity, access, trial eligibility, and goals of care
Clinical trial available
Strongly consider clinical trial
Monitor toxicity, response, symptoms, and goals of care
At progression: reassess biomarkers, prior exposure, toxicity, access, trial eligibility, and goals of care
HER2 IHC 3+
Trastuzumab deruxtecan
Monitor toxicity, response, symptoms, and goals of care
At progression: reassess biomarkers, prior exposure, toxicity, access, trial eligibility, and goals of care
