Aim: To assess real-world occurrence of common clinical trial-reported adverse events (AE) among patients with recurrent ovarian cancer initiating niraparib 200 mg/day. Materials & methods: This retrospective observational study used physician-extracted anonymized medical record data of eligible patients initiating niraparib 200 mg/day after platinum-based chemotherapy. Results: Of 153 patients, 57 (37%) experienced ≥1 of the three most common all-grade AEs within 3 months after niraparib initiation: nausea (16%; grade 3/4: 2%), thrombocytopenia (14%; grade 3/4: 3%) and fatigue (24%; grade 3/4: 3%). In the ENGOT-OV16/NOVA trial, these respective AEs occurred in 74, 61 and 59% of patients. Conclusion: Incidence of common clinical trial-reported AEs was lower among patients initiating niraparib 200 mg/day in real-world practice versus patients initiating niraparib 300 mg/day in ENGOT-OV16/NOVA.

Background: Olaparib maintenance therapy has shown efficacy and tolerability in patients with platinum-sensitive, high-grade serous recurrent ovarian cancer (HSROC) with BRCA1/2 mutation (BRCAm). Our aim was to present real-world experience with olaparib in Korea. Method: We included HSROC patients with BRCAm treated with olaparib maintenance at four institutions in Korea between 2016 and 2018. Medical records were reviewed for clinico-pathologic characteristics, objective response, survival outcomes, and safety. Results: One hundred HSROC patients with BRCAm were included. BRCA1 mutation was present in 71 patients (71.0%), and BRCA2 mutation was present in 23 patients (23.0%). In terms of the best objective response with olaparib maintenance in 53 patients with partial remission from most recent chemotherapy, complete remission occurred in 12 (22.6%) and partial remission in four (7.5%), while 33 patients (62.3%) had stable disease. The 24 month progression-free survival was 42.4%, and 24 month overall survival was 82.1%. Grade 3 or more adverse events were as follows: anemia in 14 patients (14.0%), neutropenia in seven patients (7.0%), thrombocytopenia in two patients (2.0%), oral mucositis in one patient (1.0%), and soft tissue infection in one patient (1.0%). Conclusions: The safety and effectiveness of olaparib maintenance treatment in a real-world study were consistent with those reported in previous clinical trials.

BackgroundTrabectedin (T) plus pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) is approved for treatment of platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC). Despite the recommendations and guidelines, variations in managing T/PLD administration in routine clinical practice cannot be excluded. We aimed at setting up an Italian survey collecting data about management of T/PLD administration in ROC patients.MethodsWe carried out the development of a questionnaire-based survey on routine clinical practice in the management of ROC patients administered T/PLD. The survey registered the physicians’ approach to modification/discontinuation of treatment, type of modifications, reasons why, and so on. The survey was transmitted to medical oncologists and gynecologic oncologists practicing in national centers/institutions.ResultsFifty-eight Italian centers/institutions returned the compiled questionnaire; participants practiced at community cancer centers or hospitals (56.9%), academic institutions (36.2%), and other settings (private clinics, etc) (6.9%). There was no statistically significant difference in the distribution of practice setting according to geographic areas. Most responders were medical oncologists (84.5%) and were members (82.8%) of at least 1 scientific society or cooperative group. Almost 31.5% of responders reported interruption of the whole treatment, mostly because of toxicity (41.2%), followed by patients’ choice (29.4%), or achievement of clinical benefit (23.5%). Dose reduction was referred by 47.4% of responders. Reduction of dose for both drugs was referred by 88.5% of responders, and the extent of dose reduction ranged between 10% and 30%.ConclusionsThis survey highlights the gaps in transposing evidence-based or consensus guidelines in the real-world management of T/PLD administration; these findings could be useful in order to focus the attention on specific knowledge and/or experience gaps and plan pertinent educational programs.
