The FDA approved relacorilant in combination with nab-paclitaxel on 25 March for adults with platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer.

The indication covers patients who have received one to three prior systemic treatment regimens, at least one of which included bevacizumab.

Relacorilant is a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist, making the approval notable because it pairs a hormone-signalling strategy with chemotherapy in a difficult ovarian-cancer setting.

Why It Matters

Platinum-resistant ovarian cancer has limited options and poor outcomes. A new FDA-approved combination gives clinicians another tool, while the prior-treatment criteria show how tightly these approvals are defined.
