The Gynecologic Oncology Group has historically performed ground-breaking, practice-changing clinical trials in women's cancers. The current standard of care for initial treatment of ovarian, endometrial, cervical, and trophoblastic cancers was determined by clinical trials completed within this cooperative group structure. For example, trial GOG-0111 set the standard for combining platinum and taxane chemotherapy in ovarian cancer, and more recently GOG-0240 provided evidence for adding bevacizumab to chemotherapy for women with advanced cervical cancer. The landscape of clinical trial design has markedly changed in recent decades, with a clear emphasis on streamlining drug development towards specific patient populations and indications for investigational agents. Translational science in gynecologic cancers can set the stage for rapid and efficient introduction of new therapies for our patients. The gynecologic oncology community of researchers and clinicians is well positioned to enter into the new era of drug development, with breakthrough discoveries increasing each year. It is clear that we must incorporate smarter clinical trial design to get the right drugs to the right patients expeditiously, so we can continue to improve outcome for women with gynecologic cancers.
