Abstract
Ovarian cancer continues to have a high mortality rate despite therapeutic advances. Traditionally, treatment has focused on surgery followed by systemic platinum- based chemotherapy. Unfortunately, most patients develop resistance to platinum agents, highlighting the need for targeted therapies. PARP inhibitors and anti-angiogenic agents, such as bevacizumab, have more recently changed upfront therapy. Unfortunately, other targeted therapies including immunotherapy have not seen the same success. Emerging therapeutic targets and modalities such as small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors, lipid metabolism targeting agents, gene therapy, ribosome targeted drugs as well as several other therapeutic classes have been and are currently under investigation. In this review, we discuss targeted therapies in high grade serous ovarian cancer from preclinical studies to phase III clinical trials.
