AGO-OVAR 28/ENGOT-ov57. Niraparib alone versus niraparib in combination with bevacizumab in patients with carboplatin-taxane-based chemotherapy in advanced ovarian cancer: a multicenter randomized phase III trial.

Phase III trial data have shown a significant benefit by the addition of a maintenance treatment with niraparib, irrespective of BRCA or HRD status, in patients with advanced high-grade ovarian cancers; and, a significant benefit of the combination of olaparib and bevacizumab compared with bevacizumab monotherapy in HRD positive patients. However, it is unclear whether a PARP inhibitor monotherapy is sufficient, or if the addition of bevacizumab is needed. This trial will investigate if the treatment strategy of carboplatin/paclitaxel/bevacizumab/niraparib is superior to the treatment of carboplatin/paclitaxel/niraparib in an all-comer population. Adding bevacizumab to chemotherapy followed by niraparib maintenance improves progression-free survival in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer. AGO-OVAR 28/ENGOT-ov57 is an international, multicenter, randomized, prospective phase III trial within the the European Network for Gynecological Oncological Trial (ENGOT), led by the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Gynäkologische Onkologie (AGO) study group. All patients should have completed the first cycle of chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) as part of the Study Run-In-Period. Prior to day 1 of cycle 2, patients with a valid central tumor BRCA (tBRCA) test result were randomized in a 1:1 ratio into either: Arm 1, to receive five additional cycles of carboplatin and paclitaxel q21d, followed by niraparib for up to 3 years; or Arm 2, to receive five additional cycles of carboplatin and paclitaxel plus bevacizumab q21d, followed by bevacizumab q21d (for up to 1 year), and niraparib for up to 3 years. The trial population is composed of adult patients with newly diagnosed, advanced high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer FIGO III/IV (except FIGO IIIA2 without nodal involvement). Patients who are scheduled for neoadjuvant chemotherapy and interval debulking surgery are also eligible for the trial. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival. The study plans to recruit 970 patients (485 patients in each arm). The Last-Patient-In is expected to be enrolled in September 2024, with presentation of the primary endpoint in 2028.

Final results from GCIG/ENGOT/AGO-OVAR 12, a randomised placebo-controlled phase III trial of nintedanib combined with chemotherapy for newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer

AGO-OVAR 12 investigated the effect of adding the oral triple angiokinase inhibitor nintedanib to standard front-line chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer. At the primary analysis, nintedanib demonstrated significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS; primary end point) compared with placebo. We report final results, including overall survival (OS). Patients with primary debulked International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IIB-IV newly diagnosed ovarian cancer were randomised 2:1 to receive carboplatin (area under the curve 5 or 6) plus paclitaxel (175 mg/m2 ) on day 1 every 3 weeks for six cycles combined with either nintedanib 200 mg or placebo twice daily on days 2-21 every 3 weeks for up to 120 weeks. Between December 2009 and July 2011, 1366 patients were randomised (911 to nintedanib, 455 to placebo). Disease was considered as high risk (FIGO stage III with >1 cm residuum, or any stage IV) in 39%. At the final analysis, 605 patients (44%) had died. There was no difference in OS (hazard ratio 0.99, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.83-1.17, p = 0.86; median 62.0 months with nintedanib versus 62.8 months with placebo). Subgroup analyses according to stratification factors, clinical characteristics and risk status showed no OS difference between treatments. The previously reported PFS improvement seen with nintedanib did not translate into an OS benefit in the non-high-risk subgroup. Updated PFS results were consistent with the primary analysis (hazard ratio 0.86, 95% CI 0.75-0.98; p = 0.029) favouring nintedanib. The safety profile was consistent with previous reports

Updated progression-free survival and final overall survival with maintenance olaparib plus bevacizumab according to clinical risk in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer in the phase III PAOLA-1/ENGOT-ov25 trial

International audienceObjective In the PAOLA-1/ENGOT-ov25 trial ( NCT02477644 ), adding maintenance olaparib to bevacizumab provided a substantial progression-free survival benefit in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD)-positive tumors, irrespective of clinical risk. Subsequently, a clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival was reported with olaparib plus bevacizumab in the HRD-positive subgroup. We report updated progression-free survival and overall survival by clinical risk and HRD status. Methods Patients in clinical response after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy plus bevacizumab received maintenance olaparib (up to 24 months) plus bevacizumab (up to 15 months in total) or placebo plus bevacizumab. This post hoc analysis evaluated 5-year progression-free survival and mature overall survival in patients classified by clinical risk and HRD status. Results Of 806 randomized patients, 74% were higher-risk and 26% were lower-risk. In higher-risk HRD-positive patients, the hazard ratio (HR) for progression-free survival was 0.46 (95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.34 to 0.61), with 5-year progression-free survival of 35% with olaparib plus bevacizumab versus 15% with bevacizumab alone; and the HR for overall survival was 0.70 (95% CI 0.50 to 1.00), with 5-year overall survival of 55% versus 42%, respectively. In lower-risk HRD-positive patients, the HR for progression-free survival was 0.26 (95% CI 0.15 to 0.45), with 5-year progression-free survival of 72% with olaparib plus bevacizumab versus 28% with bevacizumab alone; and the HR for overall survival was 0.31 (95% CI 0.14 to 0.66), with 5-year overall survival of 88% versus 61%, respectively. No benefit was seen in HRD-negative patients regardless of clinical risk. Conclusion This post hoc analysis indicates that in patients with newly diagnosed advanced HRD-positive ovarian cancer, maintenance olaparib plus bevacizumab should not be limited to those considered at higher risk of disease progression. Five-year progression-free survival rates support long-term remission and suggest an increased potential for cure with particular benefit suggested in lower-risk HRD-positive patients
