5533 Background: In Study 19 (NCT00753545), a RCT in 265 pts with PSR SOC, the oral PARP inhibitor olaparib significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) vs placebo (PBO), with the greatest benefit seen in pts with a BRCA1/2 mutation ( BRCAm); an interim overall survival (OS) analysis suggested an advantage for olaparib-treated pts (DCO: Sep 30, 2015; Ledermann et al, 2016). We report a planned final analysis of the long-term benefit of olaparib in pts with PSR SOC in Study 19. Methods: Pts who had received ≥2 prior regimens of platinum-based chemotherapy and were in response to their most recent regimen received olaparib (400 mg bid; capsules) or PBO until disease progression. Retrospective germline or tumor testing resulted in a known BRCAm status for 254/265 pts (96%). Results: At final DCO (May 9, 2016) median OS follow-up was 78.0 months. A long-term treatment benefit and the final hazard ratio (HR) for OS vs PBO (unadjusted for crossover: 13% of PBO pts – full analysis set [FAS]; 23% of PBO pts – BRCAm subgroup) is shown (Table). Details of BRCAwt pts on treatment for ≥6 years will be presented. No new safety signals or changes in olaparib tolerability profile were seen. Conclusions: The Study 19 final analysis shows that olaparib provides clinically significant, long-term treatment benefit in pts with PSR SOC. A durable benefit was seen in ≥10% of BRCAm and BRCAwt pts, who continued to receive and benefit from olaparib for ≥6 years–unprecedented in the relapsed ovarian cancer setting. Olaparib is well tolerated in this pt population and the analysis suggests olaparib confers an OS benefit in BRCAm pts. Clinical trial information: NCT00753545. [Table: see text]

The adverse prognosis of most patients with ovarian cancer is related to recurrent disease caused by resistance to chemotherapeutic and targeted therapeutics. Besides their direct activity against tumor cells, monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) also influence the antitumoral activity of immune cells, which has important implications for the design of immunotherapies. In this preclinical study, we treated different ovarian cancer cell lines with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) TKIs and co-incubated them with natural killer (NK) cells. We studied treatment-related structural and functional changes on tumor and immune cells in the presence of the anti-EGFR antibody cetuximab and investigated NK-mediated antitumoral activity. We show that long-term exposure of ovarian cancer cells to TKIs leads to reduced responsiveness of intrinsically sensitive cancer cells over time. Inversely, neither long-term treatment with TKIs nor cetuximab could overcome the intrinsic resistance of certain ovarian cancer cells to anti-EGFR agents. Remarkably, tumor cells pretreated with anti-EGFR TKIs showed increased sensitivity towards NK cell-mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). In contrast, the cytokine secretion of NK cells was reduced by TKI sensitization. Our data suggest that sensitization of tumor cells by anti-EGFR TKIs differentially modulates interactions with NK cells. These data have important implications for the design of chemo-immuno combination therapies in this tumor entity.

Objective.Chemotherapy is the routine method for treating many cancers, but long-term treatment may result in developing resistance to the drugs. The aim of this study was to identify whether noncoding RNAs play a role in drug resistance and how they affect drug resistance.Materials and Methods.The expression levels of miR-221 in different lung cancer cell lines H226, H1299, and A549 were measured. H1299 and A549 cell lines were transfected to overexpress and downexpress miR-221, and cell viability and cell senescence were determined. The PTEN/Akt pathway was then examined by real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis.Results. MiR-221 together with proteins MDR1 and ABCG2 was upregulated in Cisplatin-resistant A549 lung cancer cells. Anti-miR-221 inhibits proliferation and induces senescence in lung cancer cells. PTEN/Akt pathway axis was identified as a target of drug resistance induced by miR-221.Conclusion. Our results revealed that miR-221 is an important regulator for chemotherapy sensitivity and showed miR-221 as a potential target for drug sensitization.
