About this episode

In this podcast episode, BJ Rimel, MD, and Elizabeth Lee, MD, discuss the scientific rationale for targeting CDH6 in ovarian cancer and the emerging role of CDH6-directed antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) in platinum-resistant disease, including:CDH6 biology, expression patterns, and its potential as a therapeutic target in ovarian cancerEarly-phase efficacy data with investigational CDH6-directed ADCs, including raludotatug deruxtecan (R-DXd) and CUSP06, and an ongoing phase III trial of R-DXdSafety considerations with CDH6-directed ADCs, including cytopenias, gastrointestinal toxicities, fatigue, and interstitial lung disease/pneumonitisConsiderations for sequencing ADCs, including the potential impact of target expression, payload class, and mechanisms of resistancePresenters:BJ Rimel, MD Division Chief, Gynecologic Oncology Professor, Department of OB/GYN University of Washington Clinical Director of Gynecologic Oncology Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center Seattle, WashingtonElizabeth Lee, MD Division of Gynecologic Oncology Center for Cancer Therapeutic Innovation Department of Medical Oncology Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Boston, MassachusettsLink to full program:  https://bit.ly/3SqCAZ6Get access to all of our new podcasts by subscribing to the Decera Clinical Education Podcast on Apple Podcasts, YouTube Music, or Spotify.
