Abstract Background: Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (PLD) could improve the survival rate of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer in previous meta-analysis studies. The aim of the present meta-analysis was to further update the role of PLD in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer.Methods: Literature search was performed by using the electronic databases Medicine, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane library until 27 July 2020. We only restricted the randomized clinical trials. Study specific hazard ratios and 95% confidence level (HR/95% CI), risk ratios and 95% confidence level (RR/95% CI), were pooled using a random effect model. Results: 10 studies (12 trials) were included after screening of 940 articles. We categorized the eligible studies into two groups: the doublet regimens (four trials, 1767 patients) resulted that PLD plus carboplatin(carbo) provided superior progression free survival (PFS) (HR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.74-0.97) and similar overall survival (OS) (HR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.88-1.14) compared PAC plus carbo. PLD plus carboplatin was associated with significantly more anemia and Thrombocytopenia, other side effects well-tolerated. In platin resistant patients, the monotherapy regimens (eight trials, 1980 patients) resulted that PLD had similar PFS (HR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.90–1.16) and OS (HR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.77–1.01) to other monotherapies. PLD alone was more associated with mucositis/stomatitis and hand-foot syndrome, other side effects well-tolerated.Conclusion: In platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer, PLD plus carbo is more effective than PAC plus carbo. In platinum-resistant or refractory recurrent ovarian cancer, PLD has similar survival to others monotherapies. For side effects, PLD plus carbo or monotherapy chemotherapy both were well-tolerated.

Abstract Background Previous meta-analysis studies suggested that pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) may improve the survival rate of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer. The aim of the present meta-analysis, then, was to further update the role of PLD in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer. Methods We performed a literature search using the electronic databases Medicine, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library to 27 July 2020. We only restricted the randomized clinical trials. Study-specific hazard ratios and 95% confidence interval (HR/95% CI) and risk ratios and 95% confidence interval (RR/95% CI) were pooled using a random-effects model. Results Ten studies (12 trials) were included after screening 940 articles. We categorized the eligible studies into two groups: the doublet regimens (four trials, 1767 patients) showed that PLD plus carbo provided superior progression-free survival (PFS) (HR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.74–0.97) and similar overall survival (OS) (HR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.88–1.14) compared to paclitaxel (PAC) plus carboplatin (carbo). PLD plus carbo was associated with significantly more anemia and thrombocytopenia, and other side effects were well tolerated. The monotherapy regimens (eight trials, 1980 patients) showed that PLD possessed a similar PFS (HR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.90–1.16) and OS (HR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.77–1.01) relative to other monotherapies. PLD alone was also more associated with mucositis/stomatitis and hand-foot syndrome, while other side effects were well tolerated. Conclusions In platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer, PLD plus carbo was more effective than PAC plus carbo, while in platinum-resistant or -refractory recurrent ovarian cancer, PLD exhibited similar survival to other monotherapies. Regarding side effects, PLD plus carbo and mono chemotherapy were both well tolerated.

BackgroundPegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) is an active and well-tolerable treatment in ovarian cancer relapse, either alone or in combination with other drugs. No data are available on the possibility to rechallenge PLD treatment in long survivor patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, as evaluated for platinum agent, paclitaxel and gemcitabine. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anti-tumor activity and the toxicity profile of re-challenge of PLD in recurrent ovarian cancer patients.MethodsData on 27 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer treated in the last ten years (2007-2017) with palliative PLD rechallenge were included in this multicenter retrospective Italian study.ResultsThe objective response rate to PLD re-treatment were complete response in 19%, partial response in 30% and stable disease in 37%. Only 1 case of G4 hematological toxicity was reported. No patient experienced severe cardiac impairment (G2-4).ConclusionPLD rechallenge represents an active and safe possibility of treatment for long survivor ovarian cancer patients.

PurposeThe objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of trabectedin plus pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) with that of PLD alone in women with recurrent ovarian cancer after failure of first-line, platinum-based chemotherapy.Patients and MethodsWomen ≥ 18 years, stratified by performance status (0 to 1 v 2) and platinum sensitivity, were randomly assigned to receive an intravenous infusion of PLD 30 mg/m2followed by a 3-hour infusion of trabectedin 1.1 mg/m2every 3 weeks or PLD 50 mg/m2every 4 weeks. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) by independent radiology assessment.ResultsPatients (N = 672) were randomly assigned to trabectedin/PLD (n = 337) or PLD (n = 335). Median PFS was 7.3 months with trabectedin/PLD v 5.8 months with PLD (hazard ratio, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.65 to 0.96; P = .0190). For platinum-sensitive patients, median PFS was 9.2 months v 7.5 months, respectively (hazard ratio, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.56 to 0.95; P = .0170). Overall response rate (ORR) was 27.6% for trabectedin/PLD v 18.8% for PLD (P = .0080); for platinum-sensitive patients, it was 35.3% v 22.6% (P = .0042), respectively. ORR, PFS, and overall survival among platinum-resistant patients were not statistically different. Neutropenia was more common with trabectedin/PLD. Grade 3 to 4 transaminase elevations were also more common with the combination but were transient and noncumulative. Hand-foot syndrome and mucositis were less frequent with trabectedin/PLD than with PLD alone.ConclusionWhen combined with PLD, trabectedin improves PFS and ORR over PLD alone with acceptable tolerance in the second-line treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer.
