We carried out a phase II nonrandomized study to examine the level of activity of oxaliplatin, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide in a patient population with relapsed ovarian cancer pretreated with platinum derivatives and paclitaxel. Patients received oxaliplatin (85 mg/m2), pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (30 mg/m2), and cyclophosphamide (750 mg/m2). A total of 49 patients (39 assessable for toxicity and response) were enrolled in this trial. Neutropenia grade 3 was observed in six patients (15%) and anemia grade 3 in one patient (0.2%). Fatigue grade 1–2 occurred in 26 patients (66%), nausea/vomiting grade 1 in 23 patients (58%), and alopecia grade 1–2 in 19 patients (48%). Twenty-one (53%) patients experienced grade 1–2 peripheral neuropathy. The overall response rate was 46% (95% CI 23.6–68.7). Median progression-free survival was 28 weeks (range 12–52 weeks) and median survival was 45 weeks (range 26–136+ weeks). The mean duration of response was 34 weeks (range 16–52 weeks). In platinum-resistant and -refractory ovarian cancer patients, the overall response rate was 37% (CI 95% 14.4–60.8) with a progression-free survival of 28 weeks (range 12–52 weeks) and a median survival of 42 weeks (range 28–84 weeks). This combination chemotherapy is generally well tolerated and is an active second-line regimen against ovarian cancer.

Purpose Ovarian cancer (OC) patients experiencing progressive disease (PD) within 6 months of platinum-based therapy in the primary setting are considered platinum resistant (Pt-R). Currently, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) is a standard of care for treatment of recurrent Pt-R disease. On the basis of promising phase II results, gemcitabine was compared with PLD for efficacy and safety in taxane-pretreated Pt-R OC patients. Patients and Methods Patients (n = 195) with Pt-R OC were randomly assigned to either gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 (days 1 and 8; every 21 days) or PLD 50 mg/m2 (day 1; every 28 days) until PD or undue toxicity. Optional cross-over therapy was allowed at PD or at withdrawal because of toxicity. Primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). Additional end points included tumor response, time to treatment failure, survival, and quality of life. Results In the gemcitabine and PLD groups, median PFS was 3.6 v 3.1 months; median overall survival was 12.7 v 13.5 months; overall response rate (ORR) was 6.1% v 8.3%; and in the subset of patients with measurable disease, ORR was 9.2% v 11.7%, respectively. None of the efficacy end points showed a statistically significant difference between treatment groups. The PLD group experienced significantly more hand-foot syndrome and mucositis; the gemcitabine group experienced significantly more constipation, nausea/vomiting, fatigue, and neutropenia but not febrile neutropenia. Conclusion Although this was not designed as an equivalency study, gemcitabine and PLD seem to have a comparable therapeutic index in this population of Pt-R taxane-pretreated OC patients. Single-agent gemcitabine may be an acceptable alternative to PLD for patients with Pt-R OC.

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.

Abstract Patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) typically have responses to initial cytotoxic or steroid based therapy. Disease relapse occurs in all patients. As high as 90% of patients with relapsed or refractory disease will have over-expression of the multi-drug resistance (MDR) gene. Pharmacokinetic data suggest that prolonged exposure to high concentrations of doxorubicin can overcome MDR. Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin can theoretically achieve this goal as the angiogenic activity of the MM bone marrow is significantly increased. We proceeded with a phase II trial to evaluate the response rate of patients with relapsed or refractory MM (R/R-MM) to the DVd regimen. Eligible patients had clinically active R/R-MM following at least one prior cytotoxic based treatment regimen. Patients received intravenous (IV) pegylated liposomal doxorubicin 40 mg/m2 day 1, vincristine 2 mg day 1 and oral or IV dexamethasone 40 mg daily days 1–4. Cycles were repeated every 28 days for a minimum of 6 cycles and 2 cycles after best response. Myeloma parameters were measured at the start of each cycle. SWOG criteria were used to determine response. Thirty-five patients (21 male and 14 female) with R/R-MM clinically active disease were enrolled. Median age was 59 years (range 43–87). Patients received a median of 2 (range 1–4) prior cytotoxic based treatments. All patients received at least one cycle of treatment (median=5; range 1–12) and were evaluable for response. Ten (29%) patients responded to therapy; 5 partial responses (PR > 50%) and 5 responses (R > 75%) were observed after a median of 2 cycles (range 1–9). Median progression free survival of responding patients (PR + R) was 4.5 mos. (range 0.67–44.8). Patients achieving R had a median progression free survival of 32.5 mos. (3.0–44.8). Thirteen (37%) patients had stable disease (SD) for a median of 1.4 mos. (range 0.8–9.9). Twelve (34%) patients had progressive disease after a median of 1 cycle (range 1–5). The most common toxicities were hematologic; there were four occurrences of febrile neutropenia. Three patients experienced grade 3 constipation and one grade 3 palmar-plantar erythrodysethesia was observed. This study suggests that in patients with R/R-MM, DVd alone yields response rates similar to bortezomib with patients achieving an R experiencing a durable plateau phase. Ongoing studies of DVd in combination with thalidomide or CC-5013 in patients with R/R-MM have resulted in higher and better quality response rates (comparable to autologous SCT) translating to a durable progression free survival. We would not recommend the DVd regimen in patients with R/R-MM without the addition of an immune modulator such as thalidomide.

Introduction: Bevacizumab-containing therapy is considered a standard-of-care front-line option for stage IIIB–IV ovarian cancer based on results of randomized phase 3 trials. The multicenter non-interventional ENCOURAGE prospective cohort study assessed treatment administration and outcomes in the French real-world setting.Patients and Methods: Eligible patients were aged ≥ 18 years with planned bevacizumab-containing therapy for newly diagnosed ovarian cancer. The primary objective was to assess the safety profile of front-line bevacizumab in routine clinical practice; secondary objectives were to describe patient characteristics, indications/contraindications for bevacizumab, treatment regimens and co-medications, follow-up and monitoring, progression-free survival, and treatment at recurrence. In this non-interventional study, treatment was administered as chosen by the investigator and participation in the trial had no influence on the management of the disease.Results: Of 1,290 patients screened between April 2013 and February 2015, 468 were eligible. Most patients (86%) received bevacizumab 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks or equivalent, typically with carboplatin (99%) and paclitaxel (98%). The median duration of bevacizumab was 12.2 (range 0–28, interquartile range 6.9–14.9) months; 8% of patients discontinued bevacizumab because of toxicity. The most common adverse events were hypertension (38% of patients), fatigue (35%), and bleeding (32%). There were no treatment-related deaths. Most physicians (90%) reported blood pressure measurement immediately before each bevacizumab infusion and almost all (97%) reported monitoring for proteinuria before each bevacizumab infusion. Median progression-free survival was 17.4 (95% CI, 16.4–19.1) months. The 3-year overall survival rate was 62% (95% CI, 58–67%). The most commonly administered chemotherapies at recurrence were carboplatin and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin.Discussion: Clinical outcomes and tolerability with bevacizumab in this real-life setting are consistent with randomized trial results, notwithstanding differences in the treated patient population and treatment schedule.Clinical Trial Registration:ClinicalTrials.gov, Identifier NCT01832415.

TPS5601 Background: A standard non-platinum based treatment option in patients with relapsed ovarian cancer is bevacizumab in combination with paclitaxel or pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, but responses are still short-lived. Checkpoint-inhibitors as single agent have limited activity in ovarian cancer. However, the role of the checkpoint-inhibitor like atezolizumab, in addition to chemotherapy and bevacizumab in ovarian cancer is so far undefined. Methods: AGO-OVAR 2.29 is a randomized (1:1), double blinded, phase III trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab and chemotherapy (weekly paclitaxel or pegylated liposomal doxorubicin) compared with placebo plus bevacizumab and chemotherapy in patients with recurrent ovarian-, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer with 1st or 2nd relapse within 6 months after platinum-based chemotherapy or 3rd relapse. A tumor biopsy available at study entry for PD-L1 testing is mandatory. Patients are treated with chemotherapy plus bevacizumab +/- atezolizumab/placebo until progression or prohibitive toxicity. Co-primary endpoints are overall survival and progression-free survival. It is planned to randomize 664 patients. A safety interim analysis will be done when 24 patients have been randomized and completed at least cycle 1. As of 1st February 2019, 24 patients have been randomized. Clinical trial information: NCT03353831.

Among the pharmaceutical options available for treatment of ovarian cancer, increasing attention has been progressively focused on pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD), whose unique formulation prolongs the persistence of the drug in the circulation and potentiates intratumor accumulation. Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) has become a major component in the routine management of epithelial ovarian cancer. In 1999 it was first approved for platinum-refractory ovarian cancer and then received full approval for platinum-sensitive recurrent disease in 2005. PLD remains an important therapeutic tool in the management of recurrent ovarian cancer in 2012. Recent interest in PLD/carboplatin combination therapy has been the object of phase III trials in platinum-sensitive and chemonaïve ovarian cancer patients reporting response rates, progressive-free survival, and overall survival similar to other platinum-based combinations, but with a more favorable toxicity profile and convenient dosing schedule. This paper summarizes data clarifying the role of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) in ovarian cancer, as well as researches focusing on adding novel targeted drugs to this cytotoxic agent.

AbstractBackgroundRecurrent, platin-resistant ovarian cancer (rPROC) has a poor survival. Even with the AURELIA trial, which is the best available treatment today, progression-free survival (PFS) is still only 6.7 months from the start of the second-line chemotherapy. Innovative, effective therapies are urgently needed. Pressurized Intra-Peritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a novel drug delivery system for administering drugs into the abdomen. PIPAC with cisplatin and doxorubicin (PIPAC C/D) may be safely used at an intraperitoneal dose of 10.5 mg/m2 and 2.1 mg/m2, respectively. Systemic toxicity of this therapy is low. In a phase II trial with 53 women, 62 % patients had an objective tumor response. Tumor regression on histology was observed in 76 % patients who underwent all three PIPACs. Randomized phase III studies are now required to evaluate the effect of PIPAC C/D compared to other standard treatments (sequential or simultaneous applications with systemic chemotherapy).MethodsThe present phase III study is a prospective, open, randomized, multicentric pivotal trial. A total of 244 patients will be randomly assigned (1:1) to the control (A) or to the experimental (B) group. Group A: Systemic palliative chemotherapy, physician’s best choice (monotherapy consisting of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin or topotecan or gemcitabine or paclitaxel weekly. Bevacizumab can be used in combination with paclitaxel, topotecan, or pegylated liposomal doxorubicin). Group B: Intraperitoneal chemotherapy, 3×PIPAC C/D, performed every 6 weeks. Combination with systemic therapy is not allowed. Treatment is continued until disease progression, death, or patient refusal. In case of progression, no recommendation for further therapy is given by protocol. Patients are allowed to receive PIPAC C/D or systemic chemotherapy after study termination. The primary endpoint is PFS (according to RECIST v1.1) or death from any cause. The co-primary endpoint is the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measured as the global health status (GHS, QLQ-30 of EORTC). Secondary outcomes comprise overall survival, safety (CTCAE 5.0), and tumor response according to peritoneal regression grading score (PRGS).DiscussionWe expect PIPAC C/D to control peritoneal disease and preserve the QoL on this subset of patients.Trial registrationThe EudraCT number 2018-003664-31

IntroductionPegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) is currently the reference treatment for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. The combination of PLD and gemcitabine and the administration of gemcitabine at a fixed dose rate infusion (FDRI) seem to have additive activity in this disease setting. We have launched a phase Ib study with the combination of FDRI gemcitabine followed by PLD in recurrent ovarian cancer with a platinum-free interval of less than 1 year, with parallel pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic studies.MethodsThe starting dose of gemcitabine was 1500 mg/m2, 10 mg/m2per minute, every 2 weeks (±250 mg gemcitabine titration depending on toxicity), followed by PLD 35 mg/m2every 4 weeks. Gemcitabine pharmacokinetics and equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1, deoxycytidine kinase, and ribonucleotide reductase M1 gene expression levels were studied.ResultsThirty-five patients were treated at 3 different dose levels (DL). Dose level 1 was not tolerated. Nonfrail patients continued to be treated at DL-1 (G 1250 mg/m2on day 1 and PLD 35 mg/m2on days 1 and 15). Of 10 evaluable nonfrail patients, 4 displayed dose-limiting toxicity. Frail patients were treated at DL-2 (G 1250 mg/m2on day 1 and PLD 35 mg/m2on days 1 and 15). Of the 12 evaluable frail patients, 3 developed dose-limiting toxicity. Neutropenia, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia and stomatitis were the most common toxicities. The response rate was 42.8% (95% confidence interval [CI], 34.5%-51.1%), with 17.1% (6/35) complete responses and 25.7% (9/35) partial responses. The median progression-free survival was 7.7 months (95% CI, 2.2-13.1). The median overall survival was 13.9 months (95% CI, 9.4-18.4). The administration of PLD after gemcitabine did not influence gemcitabine pharmacokinetics or its metabolites. The addition of PLD to gemcitabine caused a larger and longer induction of the ribonucleotide reductase M1 gene. Patients with higher baseline levels of deoxycytidine kinase had longer progression-free survival.ConclusionThe recommended dose for a phase II study of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer having poor prognosis is PLD, 35 mg/m2on day 1, and gemcitabine, 1000 mg/m2on days 1 and 15 delivered at an FDRI of 10 mg/m2per minute in 28-day cycles.
