16036 Background: Despite improvement in surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy most pts with ovarian cancer (OC) experience a relapse within 2 years after first diagnosis. For primary OC a standard concensus on optimal staging and surgical guidelines is established. The role of radical tumor debulking surgery in ROC is not clearly defined. Aim of this study was to analyze clinical parameters for prediction of operability and impact on overall survival in ROC. Methods: Within the framework of the international project “Tumor bank Ovarian Cancer“ (TOC) a systematic prospective surgical and histomorphological tumor documentation for ROC was performed. Results: Between september 2000 and december 2006, 307 multivisceral operations on 254 pts with ROC were performed consecutively in our department. Median age was 55 years (19–83), median follow-up 15 months (1–75). 34.8% of pts experienced first relapse of OC. Overall, 96.3% of pts received a platinum-based first-line chemotherapy, whereas 73.4% were platinum sensitive. In 55% of pts first relapse surgery was performed. In 41.4% of pts complete macroscopic tumor resection was achieved, associated with a significantly better recurrence-free (median 20.6 vs 13.2, p=0.001) and overall survival (median 42 vs 12 months, p<0.001) compared to pts with any postoperative residual tumor. In multivariate analysis, complete tumor resection was associated with the absence of tumor burden in the upper abdomen (p=0.001) and absence of ascites (p=0.05). Prognostic factors for postoperative survival were: tumor resection (0 cm vs > 0 cm, p<0.001), intraoperative volume of ascites (0 ml vs > 0 ml, p=0.006) and response to platinum-based first-line therapy (platinum sensitive vs platinum-resistant, p=0.006). Conclusions: Radical tumor debulking in patients with ROC is associated with a low postoperative morbidity and mortality. Complete mascroscopic tumor resection is correlated with a significant better long-term prognosis and influenced by tumor spread and presence of ascites. Pts with ROC will not benefit from multivisceral cytoreductive surgery in case of platinum resistance to first-line chemotherapy, presence of intraoperative ascites and postoperative residual tumor.

Abstract Objectives: To assess the clinical value of early clearance of HE4 and CA125 for platinum sensitivity and prognosis in patients with ovarian cancer.Method: HE4 and CA125 value including clinical data of 89 patients with ovarian cancer were collected. The clearance of HE4 and CA125 were assessed base on the platinum sensitivity, two-year PFS, PFS and OS.Results: 16 patients were classified as platinum resistant and 73 as platinum sensitive according to the response to platinum-base chemotherapy. When HE4 clearance after 3rd cycle chemotherapy or CA125 clearance after 1st cycle chemotherapy, it gave the highest AUC of 0.788, with 100% of sensitivity and 57.5% of specificity respectively between platinum resistant and platinum sensitive group. In addition, 59 patients were classified as two-year PFS group and 30 as not achieved two-year PFS group according to obtaining two-year PFS or not. It gave the highest AUC of 0.730, with 83.3% of sensitivity and 62.7% of specificity respectively when HE4 clearance after 3rd cycle chemotherapy or CA125 clearance after 1st cycle. The prolonged PFS and OS were significantly associated by the clearance of HE4 after 3rd cycle chemotherapy (p<0.0001, p<0.0001) as well as CA125 after 1st cycle chemotherapy (p<0.0001, p<0.0001).Conclusions: Our data suggested that the early clearance of HE4 and CA125 could predict platinum response and prognosis in patients with ovarian cancer. Monitoring the HE4 and CA125 during first-line chemotherapy might be helpful in predicting platinum sensitivity and risk to progress and relapse.

15025 Background: In the past years the concept of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and interval laparotomy has emerged for patients with advanced ovarian cancer and unfavorable prognosis (e.g. diffuse peritoneal carcinosis). In a recent study on neoadjuvant chemotherapy higher tumor resection rates and longer median survival were demonstrated in patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma and ascites >500ml. Most studies use three cycles of preoperative chemotherapy. However, chemoresistant tumorclones may be induced by increasing number of preoperative chemotherapy cycles. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the optimal number of cycles prior to interval laparotomy. Methods: 67/73 patients with advanced serous ovarian carcinoma (FIGO IIIc n = 48, FIGO IV n = 19) and ascites >500ml were randomized into two arms, receiving either 2 (n = 33) or 3 (n = 34) cycles of Carboplatin (AUC5) and Docetaxel (75mg/m2) before interval laparotomy. Postoperatively, they received either 4 or 3 additional cycles. Response rate and postoperative residual tumor were evaluated. Results: Surgical response was assessed during interval laparotomy. At present 32 patients underwent tumordebulking. Partial remission was observed in 28/32 patients irrespective of the number of preoperative chemotherapy cycles. Two patients in each arm showed stable disease. Optimal cytoreduction was achieved in 25/32 patients. No severe adverse events were reported. Six of 73 patients were not eligible. Two patients were excluded due to therapy-unrelated events. In 4 patients ovarian cancer was excluded by laparoscopy prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval laparotomy was safe and well tolerated. Diagnostic laparoscopy prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy allowed differentiation of primary ovarian cancers from tumors of other origin. In these cases laparotomy could be circumvented. Optimal tumor reduction was achieved in a significant number of patients. Response rate and postoperative residual tumor were essentially the same in both arms. Our data indicate that two cycles of preoperative chemotherapy may be the preferential choice of therapy for future studies. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

5514 Background: Primary surgery followed by platinum-taxane chemotherapy is the standard therapy of advanced ovarian cancer. It is not clear, whether the time interval between surgery and start of first line chemotherapy (time to chemo - TTC) has an impact on the clinical outcome. Methods: Individual patient data meta-analysis of three prospective randomized AGO-OVAR/GINECO trials (AGO OVAR 3, 5, and 7) conducted between 1995 and 2002 to investigate platinum-taxane based chemotherapy regimens in advanced ovarian cancer. Cox proportional hazard models were applied to evaluate the prognostic impact of different variables on survival; TTC was introduced as a continuous variable. Results: A total of 3,326 patients were analyzed. Chemotherapy was started within 8 weeks after surgery. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 17.91 months (95% CI: 17.15–18.73 months) and median overall survival (OS) 37.83 months (95% CI: 36.57–38.90 months). The median TTC was 19 days (95% CI: 18–19 days, range 1–56 days). By multivariate analysis of the total cohort, there was no significant association between TTC and PFS (p = 0.131) or OS (p = 0.372). In the subgroup of patients with no residual tumor after debulking surgery (n = 1.101), a significant and independent correlation between early start of chemotherapy and improved overall survival was observed (p = 0.022). Conclusions: Our analysis represents the largest study investigating treatment delivery and outcome in ovarian cancer. The time interval between primary surgery and start of first line chemotherapy seems to have no general impact in all patients. However, it could be demonstrated for the first time that a delayed start of chemotherapy was independently associated with decreased overall survival in patients with complete surgical debulking. As previously shown for other biological factors in ovarian cancer, the presence of residual tumor after surgery seems to prevail over the prognostic impact of therapy initiation.

TPS6102 Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) is associated with the highest mortality rates among gynecological malignancies, with most patients being diagnosed in advanced stages. The most common histological subtype is high grade serous OC, which is characterized by deficiency in homologous recombination. Debulking surgery, followed by platinum based chemotherapy and bevacizumab (bev), followed by maintenance therapy with bev, is the standard therapy for advanced BRCA wild type (BRCAwt) OC patients in Germany. BRCA mutant patients will receive maintenance with olaparib, according to SOLO1 data. The anticancer effects of PARP inhibitors (PARPi) seem to be increased by the addition of antiangiogenic drugs. Preclinical data showed increased HRD in tumors pretreated with bev, and clinical trials showed a benefit of the combination of antiangiogenic drugs and PARPi vs. PARPi alone. NOGGO Ov-42/MAMOC trial (NCT04227522) is a phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled study evaluating rucaparib maintenance following bevacizumab maintenance for the treatment of advanced primary high grade BRCAwt OC. Methods: 190 patients with histologically confirmed advanced (FIGO stage IIIA- IV of the 2014 FIGO classification) high grade serous or high grade endometrioid (based on local histopathological findings) OC, fallopian tube cancer, primary peritoneal cancer or clear cell carcinoma of the ovary will be randomized 2:1 to receive either rucaparib 600mg BID or placebo as maintenance therapy following first line chemotherapy with 6 cycles of Carboplatin/Paclitaxel and at least 12 cycles of bev, given together with chemotherapy and as maintenance. Only BRCAwt patients will be included in the trial. Randomization is stratified by surgery planned timepoint (neoadjuvant vs. adjuvant), surgical outcome (no residual tumor mass vs. residual tumor mass), response to chemotherapy followed by bev (CR/NED vs. PR/SD) and study center. Treatment will continue for 24 months or until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal. Primary endpoint is PFS in BRCAwt patients per RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints are PFS2, quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30/OV28, FSI, SF-12, PROC-CTCAE, every day memory questionnaire), daily activity, time to next medical intervention, time to next subsequent therapy, safety assessments and OS. Clinical trial information: NCT04227522.

e13111 Background: First large Russian ovarian cancer observational study was conducted in 2014-2018. Methods: A total of 500 patients in 29 sites in Russia with newly diagnosed ovarian, peritoneal and fallopian tube cancer was enrolled (NCT02122588). The primary objective was to describe treatment approaches in the first line treatment. 141 patients (pts) with BRCA1/2 mutations (BRCA1/2mt) detected by NGS in blood and tissue were observed prospectively during at least 2 years. Results: Rate of BRCA1/2 mutations in Russian population is high – 28.4% (141 from 496 available for any testing). 77.6% (388/500) underwent biomarkers blood testing prior to treatment. CA-125 was positive in 99.7% (387/388), 15.2% (59/388) of pts had positive CA19-9, CA72-4 - in 2.3% (9/388). Positive CEA was presented in 15.2% (59/388). This marker was detected more frequently in BRCA2mt pts subgroup (28.0% (7/25)) than in BRCA1mt pts: 9.0% (8/90) (p = 0.05). 26.6% (133/500) of all study population had an oncology family history; 44.0% (62/141) BRCA1/2mt pts had relatives with oncological diseases and 19.7% (70/355) in BRCA wild type pts (p = 0.0001). 98.6% (139/141) of BRCA1/2mt pts received first line therapy. Objective response rate was registered in 79.8% (111/139) pts. Progression after platinum based regimens was observed in 53.6% (59/110) BRCA1mt pts and 44.8% (13/29) BRCA2mt pts. 35.6 % (21/59) of BRCA1mt pts had platinum-refractory and platinum-resistant relapses, while 15.4% in BRCA2mt subgroup (2/13) (p = 0.64). Platinum-sensitive relapses were in 64.4% (38/59) BRCA1mt pts and 84.6% BRCA2mt (11/13) (p = 0,64). Median PFS in BRCA1/2mt pts was 25.5 months. Among BRCA1/2mt pts underwent cytoreduction median PFS in subgroup without visible residual tumor was 36.4 months and in subgroup with residual tumor < 1 cm 15.3 months. Conclusions: In this large-scale prospective non-interventional study diagnostics and treatment approaches in Russian ovarian cancer pts were evaluated and high frequency of BRCA1/2mt was observed. Pts with BRCA1/2mt had better prognosis and most of them had platinum-sensitive relapses after first line chemotherapy that allowed platinum-based regimen rechallenge.

Background. According to randomized clinical trial SOLO1 olaparib statistically significantly improves progression-free survival versus placebo as a maintenance monotherapy in patients aged 18 and over with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer with BRCA mutations, who had response to first-line chemotherapy. As the data on overall survival (OS) in this trial remains interim it is still uncertain whether treatment with olaparib can provide any benefits in terms of OS.Objective: to evaluate a long-term OS for olaparib versus placebo as a maintenance monotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer with BRCA mutations, who had response to first-line chemotherapy.Materials and methods. A 10-year mathematic model of disease progression and survival on olaparib versus placebo was developed. Modelling was based on data on progression-free survival from SOLO1 trial and data on OS after platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant relapses from OCEANS and AURELIA trials. Additionally, patients who haven’t been treated with olaparib after first-line therapy in base-case scenario were assumed to get olaparib as a second-line treatment after platinum-sensitive relapse; mortality modelling for these patients was based on data from SOLO2 trial.Results. Median OS for olaparib was 107 months versus 66 months for placebo. 46 % of patients treated with olaparib were alive by the end of 10-year modelling period, but only 28 % patients from the placebo group. Hazard ratio of death for olaparib versus placebo was 0.64 (95 % confidence interval 0.49–0.84). Probabilistic sensitivity analysis showed robustness of these results.Conclusion. Using olaparib as a maintenance therapy in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer with BRCA mutations, who had response on first line chemotherapy, statistically significantly reduces risk of death by 36 %, compared to placebo.

First-line chemotherapy for ovarian cancer during the past decade has evolved toward the use of carboplatin and paclitaxel combinations. This has been based on randomized trials showing that combinations of these two drugs lead to a outcome similar to that obtained using cisplatin and paclitaxel (that had, in turn, proven superior in progression-free survival and overall survival to cisplatin and cyclophosphamide) but with less toxicity. Surprisingly, taxane–platinum combinations were not superior to control arms in two studies (ICON3 and GOG-132) utilizing carboplatin or cisplatin as the comparators. This has renewed interest in the role of single agents in first-line chemotherapy – a concept also supported by a number of prior clinical trials with single-agent platinum compounds yielding results not inferior to combinations. Early ‘pre-emptive’ crossover (prior to the stipulated clinical progression) to paclitaxel or a paclitaxel-containing regimen, however, occurred in 24% of patients initially treated with cisplatin on GOG-132. This has led to the interpretation of this trial as a combination versus sequential design. Although not subscribing to this interpretation, the results of GOG-132 and ICON3 not only raise doubts over a clear superiority of combinations over single agents but also lead to a consideration of sequential treatment designs for first line. Advantages of such designs are: (a) ability to provide ‘dose-dense’ platinums followed by ‘dose-dense’ paclitaxel and, perhaps, other drugs; and (b) the potential of acquiring biological data linked to the antitumor effects of a specific drug. Mathematical modeling and recent positive results in breast cancer adjuvant therapy support the use of ‘dose-dense’ strategies, and these should be considered in the design of future trials in ovarian cancer.
