Q

OCEANS

A

Gemcitabine/carboplatin plus bevacizumab followed by bevacizumab maintenance extends PFS compared to gemcitabine/carboplatin alone in PS recurrent ovarian cancer.

Gem 1000 D1,8 + Carbo AUC 4 D1 q21d x6
Plus: bevacizumab 15 or placebo
Inclusion: first recurrence PS, measurable dz
Exclusion: prior VEGF, hx GI perf/fistula/obstruction, surgery w/i 28d
PFS: 12.4 (bev) vs 8.4 months (SS)
ORR: 78.5% vs 57.4% (SS)
Duration of Response: 10.4 vs 7.4 mos (SS)
OS: 33.3 vs 35.2 mos (NS)
Bev: worse HTN and proteinuria

17
Q

CALYPSO

A

Carbo/Doxil is non-inferior to Carbo/Taxol in recurrent PS ovarian cancer with a favorable side effect profile.

Carbo AUC 5 + Taxol 175 q3w x6
Carbo AUC 5 + Doxil 30 q4w x6
Inclusion: measurable disease, 1-2 prior lines, PS
Exclusion: preexisting cardiomyopathy or neuropathy
PFS: 11.3 (CD) vs 9.4 (CT) months (SS)
CD: worse thrombocytopenia, N/V (SS)
CT: worse alopecia, neutropenia (SS)

18
Q

PAOLA-1

A

Olaparib added to frontline bevacizumab maintenance prolonged PFS in unselected cohort with advanced ovarian cancer. Greatest benefit in BRCAm or HRD patients. (Not for HR-proficient.)

Bev maintenance +/- olaparib 300mg (or placebo)
Inclusion: HGSC or endometrioid ovarian cancer, primary treatment with bev resulting in NED/CR/PR
Exclusion: delays due to hematologic toxicity
PFS all: 22.1 vs 16.6 months (SS)
PFS BRCAm: 37.2 vs 21.7 (SS)
PFS HRD: 28.1 vs. 16.6 (SS)
PFS HR proficient/unknown: 16.9 vs. 16.0 (NS)
Anemia, fatigue, nausea more common in olaparib arm.

19
Q

PRIMA

A

Treatment with niraparib maintenance improved PFS in all considered populations, including the whole cohort.

Placebo vs niraparib 300/200mg
Inclusion: Stage III/IV HGSC or endometrioid, prior platinum tx with CR/PR
PFS HRD: 21.9 vs 10.4 months (SS)
PFS HRD/BRCAm: 22.1 vs 10.9 months (SS)
PFS HRD/BRCAwt: 19.6 vs 8.2 months (SS)
PFS HR-proficient: 8.1 vs 5.4 months (SS)
PFS: 13.8 vs 8.2 months (SS)
Grade >3 adverse events: 70.5% vs 18.9% (most common: anemia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia)

20
Q

GOG 218

A

Chemotherapy plus bevacizumab followed by bevacizumab maintenance improved PFS by 4 mos in advanced stage ovarian cancer after surgical resection.

1 - Carbo AUC 6 + Taxol 175 + bev + placebo mt
2 - Carbo AUC 6 + Taxol 175 + bev + bev mt
3 - Carbo AUC 6 + Taxol 175 + placebo + placebo mt
Inclusion: Stage III with any residual, and Stage IV
Exclusion: borderline, recurrent, prior RT
PFS: 11.2 vs 14.1 vs 10.3 months (SS)
OS: NS. HTN: 16.5% vs 22.9% vs 7.2% (SS)

21
Q

GOG 158

A

Carbo/paclitaxel is not inferior to cis/paclitaxel with regard to PFS in patients with optimally resected, stage III epithelial ovarian cancer.
