Gemcitabine and oxaliplatin have shown single-agent activity in relapsed ovarian cancer. This combination was used to determine response rates, time-to-event efficacy measures, and toxicity in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer. Patients with prior platinum-based chemotherapy who had measurable lesions and/or elevated CA-125 levels were identified as group A (platinum-refractory/platinum-resistant patients) and group B (platinum-sensitive patients). All patients received gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 and oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 on day 8 every 21 days for up to eight cycles. Seventy-five patients (21 in group A and 54 in group B), with a median age of 58 years (range, 37–78), were enrolled. A median of six cycles (range, 1–8) was administered. By intent-to-treat analysis, 15 patients with measurable disease achieved partial response for an overall best response rate of 20.0% (9.5% in group A and 24.1% in group B). CA-125 response was observed in 48.4% patients (30.0% in group A and 57.1% in group B). Median time to progressive disease was 7.1 months (95% CI, 5.6–9.0 months) with 5.0 months in group A and 8.3 months in group B. Median overall survival was 17.8 months (95% CI, 12.9–21.3 months) with 9.2 months for group A and 20.0 months for group B. Major grade 3/4 toxicities were neutropenia (61.3%), leukopenia (24.0%), nausea (16.0%), and vomiting (22.7%). We conclude that the combination of oxaliplatin and gemcitabine is active in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, but the regimen is unsatisfactory for further study due to modest response and relatively high toxicity.

Objectives:Most patients with ovarian cancer are candidates for second-line or salvage treatments often for prolonged periods. Patients with platinum-sensitive disease can benefit from a platinum retreatment with a likelihood of response dependents on the treatment-free interval. Alternative agents and combination chemotherapy are potential therapeutic approaches. At our institution, we carried out a phase II trial to evaluate feasibility, efficacy, and toxicity of gemcitabine and vinorelbine combination in recurrent ovarian carcinoma. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of this combination in patients with platinum-sensitive disease.Patients and Methods:Patients with platinum-sensitive disease recurring after 1 or more lines of platinum-based chemotherapy were included. Vinorelbine at 25 mg/m2followed by gemcitabine at 1000 mg/m2was administered intravenously on days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks. Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors and cancer antigen 125 test (CA-125 Kinetics [Rustin criteria]) were adopted to classify responses. Toxicity was assessed according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria.Results:Thirty-nine patients were eligible. Platinum-free interval (PFI) was 6 to 12 months in 13 patients (33.3%; PFI 6-12) and more than 12 months in 26 patients (66.7%; PFI > 12). The overall response rate was 48.7%, with 6 complete responses. Median response duration was 38 weeks. The response rate was 23% in PFI 6-12 and 62% in PFI >12. The most frequently observed toxicity was hematological, with 23% of the patients having grade 3 or 4 neutropenia.Conclusions:Gemcitabine and vinorelbine combination is effective and well tolerated in recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer. It may represent an option in the management of these patients because the chronic nature of the disease.

5558 Background: For ovarian cancer (OC) patients with platinum-sensitive recurrence the addition of new biologic agents to chemotherapy may improve survival. Panitumumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody specific to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The purpose of this trial was to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of panitumumab in the combination with carboplatin-based chemotherapy in relation to the respective standard combination in patients with a KRAS wildtype with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer (NCT01388621). Methods: Major eligibility criteria were pretreated platinum-sensitive epithelial ovarian/ fallopian/ peritoneal cancer and no more than 2 prior treatments for this disease. Only patients with measurable disease or elevated CA125 and with KRAS wild type were eligible. Patients were treated with Carboplatin AUC4/Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m² or Carboplatin AUC5/PLD 40 mg/m² and randomized to panitumumab 6 mg/kg day 1 and day 15, every 3 or 4 weeks. Tumor assessment was performed at baseline and at every third cycle according to CT-scan and CA-125 criteria. Results: In this multi-institutional phase II trial 102 patients were randomized and 96 enrolled for the final analysis. Progression-free survival in the intention-to-treat population (N=96) was 9.5 vs. 10.7 months (HR 0.829, 95%CI of 8.5-11.6 months vs 8.5-13.1 months) for the experimental vs. standard arm, p=0.45. Data of overall survival are not jet evaluable. The most common treatment related grade 3+ toxicities included hematologic toxicity (54%), skin reactions (18%) and gastrointestinal events (16%). Conclusions: The addition of panitumumab to platinum-based chemotherapy for recurrent ovarian cancer does not influence efficacy and progression-free survival in platinum sensitive patients, while no new additional toxicity aspects for panitumumab were evaluated. Clinical trial information: NCT01388621.

e16543 Background: Dose-dense therapy and administration of sequential non-platinum agents in PROC plays a role in reverting platinum-resistance and may improve the prognosis of such patients over years (Bamias A, 2013). The PFI extension is one of the current strategies to improve survival in partially platinum-sensitive (PPS) ROC, with a PFI 6-12 months (Poveda A, 2011). Trabectedin is a minor groove DNA-binder, which may play a role in reverting platinum resistance in patients with PROC and PPS ROC. Methods: Trabectedin 1.1-1.5 mg/m2as single agent was given as a 3-h infusion every 3 weeks with antiemetic and steroid premedication. Tumor response was assessed every 12 weeks. Results: Overall, 27 patients (24 with PROC and 3 with PPS ROC) treated from 2003 to 2013 in a single institution were included in the analysis. The patients had a median age of 63 years (range 45-81), most had serous-papillary (67%), clear-cell (11%), endometrioid (7%) and other (15%) histological subtypes and received a median of 5 prior chemotherapy lines (range: 1-9), 89% of whom also received other non-platinum agents. A median of 4.9 trabectedin cycles (range 1-14) was given. The overall response rate (ORR) was 15%, with a median duration of response of 16.5 weeks (range 5.86-44.43), while 41% of patients achieved stable disease (SD) lasting ≥4 months as best response. Thirteen of 27 patients were retreated with platinum-based chemotherapy after progression with trabectedin treatment. The ORR to platinum retreatment was 54% (n = 7) and SD was achieved in 8% (n = 1) of these patients, for an overall clinical benefit of 61%. Conclusions: Intercalation of a non-platinum therapy with trabectedin prior to subsequent platinum rechallenge may contribute to prolong PFI and to re-sensitize the patients with PROC and PPS ROC to further platinum-based therapies leading to a significant clinical benefit. Further prospective studies are warranted to determine the contribution of sequential treatments with trabectedin in patients with PROC and PPS ROC.

Ovarian cancer is the seventh most common type of cancer and the fifth leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide. The current usual therapeutic approach in this disease includes optimal cytoreductive therapy followed by platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy, along with neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to surgery in selected cases. The platinum-free interval (PFI) continues to be the most useful tool to assist in the selection of the subsequent therapy and to predict response to treatment. The combination of trabectedin and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) is useful in patients with partially platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer, in patients who have previously received two or more platinum-based chemotherapy regimens, in patients who have already experienced a platinum-induced hypersensitivity reaction and in patients who have previously failed to respond to a platinum-based treatment. Case Presentation: A 64-years-old postmenopausal woman with pain, abdominal distension, and an altered intestinal transit and with partially platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer, was successfully treated with a second line of trabectedin chemotherapy in combination with PLD, followed by trabectedin in monotherapy. This case proves the effectiveness of the combination of trabectedin and PLD and demonstrates how the administration of trabectedin, even in monotherapy, allows to maintain an adequate clinical response with good tolerance to the treatment during more than two years of drug administration.

Background:OVO5/EORTC 55855, a study punitively refuting the value of CA-125 in the follow-up of ovarian cancer patients, has many deficiencies, including a heterogeneous ovarian cancer patient population, no control of initial treatment regimens, and no control of subsequent surgery or chemotherapeutic management for recurrence. Recent studies suggest a role for prompt surgery in selected cases of recurrent ovarian cancer with CA-125 elevations, a role for tamoxifen in managing rising CA-125 levels in patients without evidence of disease and the use of platinum doublets for treating recurrent platinum-sensitive disease, none of which were incorporated into OVo5/EORTC 55955.Case:A patient with advanced stage ovarian cancer presenting with a CA-125 level of 2000 U/mL, who is initially treated with surgery followed by chemotherapy and has a normal CT scan and normal CA-125 at completion of her initial chemotherapy.Conclusion:This patient remains at a very high risk for recurrence. I would continue to monitor this patient with serial CA-125 levels to identify recurrent cancer and consider initiating treatment before it is clinically obvious.

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.

5032 Background: DMXAA (AS1404) is a small-molecule vascular disrupting agent, which in animal models shows additive or supra-additive effects with cytotoxics, including taxanes and platinum agents. This phase II study evaluated DMXAA in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer patients with a progression-free interval of more than 6 months after response to platinum-based chemotherapy. Methods: Patients had first diagnosed disease FIGO stage Ic-IV, with presence of recurrent disease confirmed by imaging. Patients were randomised 1:1 to receive up to 6 cycles of carboplatin (AUC 6 mg/ml × min) and paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) with or without DMXAA (1200 mg/m2). Safety assessments included EKG, adverse events, laboratory screens and ophthalmic exam. Efficacy endpoints are objective response rates, time to progression, duration of response and stable disease, and median and 1-year survival. Results: 55 patients have been enrolled to date from a planned total of ∼70. Initial safety findings in the two arms are comparable. Preliminary investigator-assessed RECIST response data show the following unconfirmed outcomes: of 17 patients in the DMXAA arm, there are 10 with partial responses (PRs), 7 with stable disease (SD) and 0 with progressive disease (PD); of 14 patients in the control arm, there are 8 PRs, 6 SDs and 0 PDs. Conclusions: Initial safety findings suggest that addition of DMXAA to standard doses of carboplatin and paclitaxel did not add significantly to toxicity. Efficacy assessments are ongoing to determine the value of the triple combination in recurrent ovarian cancer. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

TPS5112 Background: Most women with ovarian cancer have disease recurrence after responding to their first treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy and are considered to have platinum-sensitive disease if the relapse-free period is more than 6 months. Although CbP is standard first-line chemotherapy for ovarian cancer, patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent disease are often retreated with CbP. Ombrabulin (AVE8062) is a vascular disrupting agent and analogue of combretastatin A4 that damages established tumor vasculature causing tumor necrosis and has synergistic antitumor activity with platinum agents in tumor models in vivo (Cancer Sci. 2003;94:200). A phase I study showed that treatment with vivo ombrabulin plus CbP is feasible in patients with advanced solid tumors (NCI-AACR-EORTC 2010;Abs 386). We initiated OPSALIN, a phase II randomized trial, to evaluate whether the addition of ombrabulin to CbP improves outcomes in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer (NCT01332656; EFC10260). Methods: Eligibility criteria include age of at least 18 years, ECOG PS 0–2, measurable carcinoma of the ovarian epithelium, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneum that is platinum sensitive, and completion of only one previous line of platinum-based chemotherapy. Exclusion criteria include uncontrolled brain metastases, peripheral neuropathy >grade 1, and a prior history of cardiovascular disease. Patients are being randomized (1:1) to receive either ombrabulin 35mg/m2 or placebo plus CbP every 3 weeks. Assigned treatment will continue until disease progression or death, unacceptable toxicity, or consent withdrawal. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival stratified by the time of first disease recurrence (6–12 months or >12 months). Secondary endpoints include safety, response rate, overall survival, pharmacokinetics, and analysis of predictive/prognostic biomarkers. Planned randomization is a total of 150 patients at approximately 45 sites globally. Sixty-five patients have been randomized as of January 2012.

Increased Risk

TPS5602 Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer, accounting for ≈185,000 deaths worldwide in 2018. Most patients (pts) initially respond to platinum-based chemotherapy (chemo), but more than 50% of pts recur. Pts who recur in ≤6 months have platinum-resistant OC (PROC), which is associated with poor prognosis. Standard therapy for PROC includes chemo ± bevacizumab (bev). However, many pts receive single-agent chemo, which demonstrates limited response and survival (≈12% ORR, 3-4 mo PFS, ≈12 mo OS). Therefore, there is an urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies. Tissue factor (TF) is a novel oncogenic target expressed in OC. Tisotumab vedotin (TV) is a first-in-class antibody drug conjugate comprising a TF-targeted fully human monoclonal antibody conjugated to the microtubule-disrupting agent monomethyl auristatin E. TV has shown encouraging antitumor activity and a manageable safety profile in PROC in the multicohort phase 1/2 innovaTV 201 study. innovaTV 208 is a multicenter, open-label, phase 2 trial with a safety run-in phase for a dose-dense regimen (DDR) evaluating the efficacy and safety of TV in pts with PROC. Methods: innovaTV 208 will enroll ≈142 adult pts with platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer; measurable disease by RECIST v1.1; and ECOG score 0-1. Eligible pts must have received bev-containing treatment for OC. Pts with platinum-refractory disease, increased risk of bleeding, active ocular surface disease, or grade > 1 peripheral neuropathy will be excluded. A safety run-in phase for the DDR will be performed in up to 12 pts who received ≤5 prior treatment regimens for PROC. In the DDR, TV will be given at previously decided lower doses IV 3Q4W for the same dose intensity as the standard 1Q3W dose; the primary endpoint is incidence of DLTs. In phase 2, pts who received ≤1 prior cytotoxic chemo regimen for PROC will be randomized to receive TV administered as IV 1Q3W or as IV 3Q4W, if shown to be tolerable. The primary endpoint for phase 2 is confirmed ORR by RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints include DOR, time to response, DCR, CA-125 response rate by GCIG criteria, PFS, OS, pharmacokinetics, and safety. Clinical trial information: NCT03657043.
