IntroductionDespite improvement in progression-free survival with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) as maintenance therapy for ovarian cancer, many patients will eventually progress on therapy. Oligoprogression is uniquely suited to considerations of local consolidation therapy in this setting, but not commonly used in ovarian cancer. In this study we evaluated the proportion of patients on PARPi maintenance who developed limited sites of disease, the location of progression, and their natural history.MethodsFrom January 2006 to December 2020, natural language processing software (DEEP6AI) was used to identify 58 patients with ovarian cancer treated with PARPi maintenance after complete or partial response after surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy at our institution. Patients were assessed for presence and location of recurrence based on radiologic findings.ResultsThe median patient age was 65 (IQR 57–71) years. Patients had a median of two lines of chemotherapy prior to starting PARPi. With a median follow-up of 48 (range 12–149) months, 32 (55%) patients had a recurrence on maintenance olaparib and 11 (34%) patients developed oligoprogression (≤3 sites). For the 11 patients with oligoprogression, three patients developed recurrence in one site, five in two sites, and three in three sites. The sites of oligoprogression were pelvic/periaortic nodal (27%), peritoneal (27%), liver (27%), lung/mediastinal (14%), and brain (5%). The median progression-free survival for the entire cohort was 6.0 months (95% CI 4.2 to 7.8); median overall survival was not met. There were no significant differences in overall survival (p=0.81) or progression-free survival (p=0.95) between patients with and without oligoprogression.ConclusionsOne-third of patients on PARPi maintenance experienced oligoprogression defined as limited to ≤3 sites. These patients may benefit from local consolidation therapy. A larger dataset is needed to validate these findings to assess if trials investigating local therapy for these patients is of value.

Purpose To assess whether six courses of paclitaxel are effective as consolidation treatment in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer who are in complete response after first-line paclitaxel/platinum–based chemotherapy. Patients and Methods Patients with stages IIb to IV disease in clinical or pathologic complete response after six courses of paclitaxel/platinum–based chemotherapy were randomly allocated to either observation (ie, control) or six courses of paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 every 3 weeks (ie, maintenance). Results Two hundred patients were randomly assigned from March 1999 to July 2006. Because of the low accrual rate, an unplanned interim analysis of futility according to the Bayesian approach was performed. Grade 2 or greater motor neurotoxicity and sensory neurotoxicity were reported in 11.3% and 28.0% of the paclitaxel-arm patients, respectively. After a median follow-up of 43.5 months, 107 patients (53%) had experienced relapse, and 48 patients (24%) had died. Two-year progression-free survival rates were 54% (95% CI, 43% to 64%) and 59% (95% CI, 49% to 69%; P = not significant) in the control and maintenance arms, respectively. Corresponding 2-year overall survival rates were 90% (95% CI, 84% to 97%) and 87% (95% CI, 80% to 94%; P = not significant), respectively. The Cox model showed that residual disease after initial surgery (macroscopic v no macroscopic residuum; hazard ratio [HR], 1.91; 95%CI, 1.21 to 3.03) and stage (IIIc to IV v others; HR, 3.10; 95% CI, 1.13 to 8.48) were independent prognostic factors for progression-free survival, whereas the treatment arm (maintenance v control) had no prognostic relevance. Conclusion A consolidation treatment with six cycles of paclitaxel does not prolong progression-free survival or overall survival in patients in complete response after first-line paclitaxel/platinum–based regimens.

IntroductionThe role of cytoreductive surgery in the poly-ADP ribose polymerase inhibitors era is not fully investigated. We evaluated the impact of surgery performed prior to platinum-based chemotherapy followed by olaparib maintenance in platinum-sensitive BRCA-mutated recurrent ovarian cancer.MethodsThis retrospective study included platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer BRCA-mutated patients from 13 Multicenter Italian Trials in Ovarian cancer and gynecological malignancies centers treated between September 2015 and May 2019. The primary outcomes were progression-free survival and overall survival. Data on post-progression treatment was also assessed.ResultsAmong 209 patients, 72 patients (34.5%) underwent cytoreductive surgery followed by platinum-based chemotherapy and olaparib maintenance, while 137 patients (65.5%) underwent chemotherapy treatment alone. After a median follow-up of 37.3 months (95% CI: 33.4 to 40.8), median progression-free survival in the surgery group was not reached, compared with 11 months in patients receiving chemotherapy alone (P<0.001). Median overall survival was nearly double in patients undergoing surgery before chemotherapy (55 vs 28 months, P<0.001). Post-progression therapy was assessed in 127 patients: response rate to chemotherapy was 29.2%, 8.8%, and 9.0% in patients with platinum-free interval >12 months, between 6 and 12 months, and <6 months, respectively.ConclusionCytoreductive surgery performed before platinum therapy and olaparib maintenance was associated with longer progression-free survival and overall survival in BRCA-mutated platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer patients. In accordance with our preliminary results, the response rate to chemotherapy given after progression during olaparib was associated with platinum-free interval.

Early Stage Ovarian Cancer

Abstract Background Laparoscopy has been widely used for patients with early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (eEOC). However, there is limited evidence regarding whether survival outcomes of laparoscopy are equivalent to those of laparotomy among patients with eEOC. The result of survival outcomes of laparoscopy is still controversial. The aim of this meta-analysis is to analyze the survival outcomes of laparoscopy versus laparotomy in the treatment of eEOC. Methods According to the keywords, Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Clinicaltrials.gov were searched for studies from January 1994 to January 2021. Studies comparing the efficacy and safety of laparoscopy versus laparotomy for patients with eEOC were assessed for eligibility. Only studies including outcomes of overall survival (OS) were enrolled. The meta-analysis was performed using Stata software (Version 12.0) and Review Manager (Version 5.2). Results A total of 6 retrospective non-random studies were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled results indicated that there was no difference between two approaches for patients with eEOC in OS (HR = 0.6, P = 0.446), progression-free survival (PFS) (HR = 0.6, P = 0.137) and upstaging rate (OR = 1.18, P = 0.54). But the recurrence rate of laparoscopic surgery was lower than that of laparotomic surgery (OR = 0.48, P = 0.008). Conclusions Laparoscopy and laparotomy appear to provide comparable overall survival and progression-free survival outcomes for patients with eEOC. Further high-quality studies are needed to enhance this statement.

ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to report on the oncologic outcome of the disease spread to celiac lymph nodes (CLNs) in advanced-stage ovarian cancer patients.MethodsAll patients who had CLN resection as part of their cytoreductive surgery for epithelial ovarian, fallopian, or primary peritoneal cancer were identified. Patient demographic data with particular emphasis on operative records to detail the extent and distribution of the disease spread, lymphadenectomy procedures, pathologic data, and follow-up data were included.ResultsThe median follow-up was 26.3 months. The median overall survival values in the group with positive CLNs and in the group with negative CLNs were 26.9 months and 40.04 months, respectively. The median progression-free survival values in the group with metastatic CLNs and in the group with negative CLNs were 8.8 months and 20.24 months, respectively (P = 0.053). Positive CLNs were associated with progression during or within 6 months after the completion of chemotherapy (P = 0.0044). Tumor burden and extensive disease distribution were significantly associated with poor progression-free survival, short-term progression, and overall survival. In multivariate analysis, only the CLN status was independently associated with short-term progression.ConclusionsDisease in the CLN is a marker of disease severity, which is associated to a high-risk group of patients with presumed adverse tumor biology, increased risk of lymph node progression, and worst oncologic outcome.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of hu3S193, a humanized anti-Lewis-Y monoclonal antibody, as a consolidation strategy in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer who achieved a second complete response after salvage platinum-doublet chemotherapy.MethodsThis single-arm phase II study accrued patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer with Lewis-Y expression by immunohistochemistry who had achieved a second complete response after five to eight cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients received intravenous infusions of hu3S193, 30 mg/m2 every 2 weeks starting no more than 8 weeks after the last dose of chemotherapy and continuing for 12 doses, until disease progression, or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival of the second remission. Secondary objectives were safety and pharmacokinetics.ResultsTwenty-nine patients were enrolled. Most had a papillary/serous histology tumor (94%), stage III disease at diagnosis (75%), and five (17%) underwent secondary cytoreduction before salvage chemotherapy. Two patients were not eligible for efficacy but were considered for toxicity analysis. Eighteen patients (62%) completed the full consolidation treatment while nine patients progressed on treatment. At the time of analysis, 23 patients (85%) of the eligible population had progressed and seven of these patients (26%) had died. Median progression-free survival of the second remission was 12.1 months (95% CI: 10.6–13.9), with a 1-year progression-free survival of the second remission rate of 50.1%. The trial was terminated early since it was unlikely that the primary objective would be achieved. The most commonly reported treatment-related adverse events were nausea (55%) and vomiting (51%).ConclusionsHu3S193 did not show sufficient clinical activity as consolidation therapy in patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer who achieved a second complete response after platinum-based chemotherapy.Trial registrationNCT01137071.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to reveal the prognostic values of prior local therapy in first-line therapy using androgen receptor-axis targeting agents (abiraterone or enzalutamide) or docetaxel for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Methods The study included 303 patients treated with first-line therapy for non-metastatic and metastatic CRPC. The association between prior local therapy and therapeutic outcome including progression-free survival and overall survival was investigated by univariate and multivariate analyses as well as propensity score-matched analysis. Results In univariate analysis, local prior therapy was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio, 0.56, 95% confidence interval, 0.40–0.79; P = 0.0009). Overall survival, but not progression-free survival, was better among patients with prior local therapy compared with patients without prior local therapy even after multivariate analysis and propensity score-matched analysis. Conclusions This study robustly indicated that prior local treatment was prognostic for overall survival among patients with CRPC. This finding is useful to predict patient prognosis in CRPC.

CD44, a surface marker for cancer stem cells, interacts with PKM2, a key regulator of aerobic glycolysis, and enhances the glycolytic phenotype of cancer cells leading to antioxidant protection and macromolecules’ synthesis. To clarify the clinical importance of this “cross-talk” as a mechanism of drug resistance, we assessed the expression both of PKM2 and of CD44 in cancer cells of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) treated with platinum-based treatment. One hundred and seventy-one patients with EOC were assessed for PKM2mRNA expression and PKM2 and CD44 proteins detection. Associations with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed with Kaplan–Meier and adjusted Cox regression models. PKM2mRNA and protein as well as CD44 protein were detectable in the majority of patients. Positive correlation between PKM2 and CD44 protein expression was observed (Spearman rho = 0.2, p = 0.015). When we used the median to group patients into high versus low expression, high PKM2mRNA and protein levels were significantly associated with lower progression-free survival (PFS; p = 0.003 and p = 0.002, respectively) and shorter overall survival (OS; p ≤ 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively). However, high CD44 protein expression was significantly correlated only with shorter OS (p = 0.004). Moreover, patients with both high PKM2 and CD44 protein levels experienced shorter PFS and OS (p = 0.007 and p = 0.003, respectively) compared to patients with low expression of both proteins. Finally, higher PKM2mRNA and protein expression as well as CD44 protein expression (HR: 2.16; HR: 1.82; HR: 1.01, respectively) were independent prognostic factors for decreased median OS (mOS), whereas only PKM2 protein expression (HR: 1.95) was an independent prognostic factor for decreased median PFS (mPFS). In conclusion, PKM2 expression is a negative prognostic factor in EOC patients, but the interaction between CD44 and PKM2 that may be implicated in EOC platinum-resistance needs further investigation.

PURPOSE In the ENGOT-OV16/NOVA trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01847274 ), maintenance therapy with niraparib, a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor, prolonged progression-free survival in patients with platinum-sensitive, recurrent ovarian cancer who had a response to their last platinum-based chemotherapy. The objective of the study was to assess the clinical benefit and patient-reported outcomes in patients who had a partial response (PR) and complete response (CR) to their last platinum-based therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 553 patients were enrolled in the trial. Of 203 patients with a germline BRCA mutation (g BRCAmut), 99 had a PR and 104 had a CR to their last platinum-based therapy; of 350 patients without a confirmed g BRCAmut (non–g BRCAmut), 173 had a PR and 177 had a CR. Post hoc analyses were carried out to evaluate safety and the risk of progression in these patients according to g BRCAmut status and response to their last platinum-based therapy. Ovarian cancer–specific symptoms and quality of life were assessed using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–Ovarian Symptom Index. RESULTS Progression-free survival was improved in patients treated with niraparib compared with placebo in both the g BRCAmut cohort (PR: hazard ratio [HR], 0.24; 95% CI, 0.131 to 0.441; P < .0001; CR: HR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.160 to 0.546; P < .0001) and the non–g BRCAmut cohort (PR: HR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.230 to 0.532; P < .0001; CR: HR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.383 to 0.868; P = .0082). The incidence of any-grade and grade 3 or greater adverse events was manageable. No meaningful differences were observed between niraparib and placebo in PR and CR subgroups with respect to patient-reported outcomes. CONCLUSION Patients achieved clinical benefit from maintenance treatment with niraparib regardless of response to the last platinum-based therapy.
