6045 Background: Single agent immunotherapy (IO) has shown only modest clinical activity for the treatment of ovarian cancer. The combination of anti-programmed death-1 and PARP inhibitors showed promising activity in early trials. Here, we report the results of an open-label, parallel arm, dose escalation study of tremelimumab (T) alone or in combination with olaparib (O) in patients (pts) with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Methods: Pts with recurrent/persistent EOC who had progression < 12 months from last platinum exposure were enrolled. Prior therapy with IO (except anti-CTLA-4) or PARP inhibitor was allowed. Pts were randomized to either T 10mg/kg every 4 weeks (wks) x 7 then every 12 wks (Arm A) or T with O twice daily at three planned dose levels (Arm B). The primary objectives were safety, pharmacodynamic (PD) change in CD4+ICOShi peripheral T cells by flow cytometry, and identification of the optimal dose combination of T with O. Secondary objectives included 6-month progression-free survival (PFS6) and objective response rate (ORR). Results: A total of 24 pts were treated, 12 on Arm A, and 12 on two Arm B dose levels. Pts had a median age of 60 years (range 44-81). Histologic subtypes included high-grade serous EOC (20 pts, 83%), clear cell (3 pts, 13%), and moderately-differentiated adenocarcinoma (1 pt, 4%). BRCA1 mutation (mt) was present in 2 cases, BRCA2 mt in 1. Median number of prior regimens was 3.5 (range 1-9). Most adverse events (AEs) were attributable to T, the most common grade 3 toxicities were rash (13%), immune-mediated hepatitis (8%), and colitis (8%). No grade ≥4 toxicities were identified. Immune-mediated AEs also included acute kidney injury, hypophysitis, and hypothyroidism. No dose limiting toxicities were identified on Arm B. Two pts in Arm B had >PFS6. Of 20 pts evaluable for response, there was 1 partial response (Arm B), and 9 pts had stable disease (6 on Arm A, 3 on Arm B). Mean percentage of CD4+ICOShi T cells was significantly increased on Days 15 and 22 compared to Day 1 at both T dose levels (Table).T at 3 mg/kg with O at 150mg is the optimal dose of those tested. Conclusions: T and T with O was tolerable, with modest clinical activity in this pt population. AEs were as expected, and peripheral CD4+ICOShi T cells increased on therapy. Clinical trial information: 02485990. [Table: see text]

Introduction: In advanced epithelial ovarian cancer, there is a survival benefit for patients who achieve optimalcytoreduction. Suboptimallycytoreduced patients are at risk of the increased morbidity of a surgery without associated survival benefit. Predicting which patients can undergo optimal cytoreduction represents a critical decision-making point. Present study analyses the predictors, pre operative (clinical and radiologic) and intraoperative of suboptimal debulking. Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted at Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences from March 2013 to May 2015. All the patients with clinically (physical examination, laboratory and imaging results) diagnosed Stage IIIc epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma (PPC) who were planed for primary debulking surgery were included. The demographic data and details of tumor markers, radiological investigations including CT scan, intra operative findings and histopathologic details were collected. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS v20.0. Results: 36 patients fit the inclusion criteria. Gross ascites wasthe clinical parameter found to be associated with suboptimal debulking. CT scan had low sensitivity (35-53%) in diagnosing small bowel mesenteric and porta hepatis disease and high sensitivity in diagnosing diffuse peritoneal thickening, omental disease, diaphragmatic and nodal disease. On univariate analysis diffuse peritoneal thickening and small bowel serosa and mesenteric disease were significantly consistent with sub optimal debulking. Conclusion: Finding out disease at the sites which are associated with suboptimal debulking (diffuse peritoneal thickening, smallbowel mesenteric and serosal disease) pre operatively or at the beginning of surgery can predict optimal debulking and can help avoid un necessary surgery.

Recent robust data allow for omitting lymph node dissection for patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and without any suspicion of lymph node metastases, without compromising recurrence-free survival (RFS), nor overall survival (OS), in the setting of primary surgical treatment. Evidence supporting the same postulate for patients undergoing complete cytoreductive surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is lacking. Throughout a systematic literature review, the aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of lymph node dissection in patients undergoing surgery for advanced-stage EOC after NACT. A total of 1094 patients, included in six retrospective series, underwent either systematic, selective or no lymph node dissection. Only one study reveals a positive effect of lymphadenectomy on OS, and two on RFS. The four remaining series fail to demonstrate any beneficial effect on survival, neither for RFS nor OS. All of them highlight the higher peri- and post-operative complication rate associated with systematic lymph node dissection. Despite heterogeneity in the design of the studies included, there seems to be a trend showing no improvement on OS for systematic lymph node dissection in node negative patients. A well-conducted prospective trial is mandatory to evaluate this matter.
