PURPOSE We performed a pilot phase II study to evaluate the potential for delivery of rapidly sequenced high-dose chemotherapy treatments rescued with autologous peripheral-blood progenitor cells (PBP) in patients with previously untreated, advanced ovarian cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS A single cycle of mobilization was used, primed with cyclophosphamide (CPA)/paclitaxel (Txl) and filgrastim (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor [G-CSF]), followed by three cycles of high-dose carboplatin (CBDCA)/Txl and one cycle of high-dose melphalan (MEL), each rescued by PBP. We then analyzed the outcome for a total of 56 consecutive patients treated with high-dose chemotherapy as part of this program. RESULTS In the phase II pilot, 21 patients were enrolled. There were no treatment-related deaths through 98 high-dose treatments, although 34 treatments were complicated by hospitalization, primarily for neutropenic fever. Seventy-six percent of patients experienced grade 3 to 4 gastrointestinal toxicity and 62% experienced grade 2 to 3 neuropathy. Five of 15 (33%) patients who underwent second-look surgery attained a pathologic complete response. In the overall analysis, 56 patients were reviewed. Forty-four patients were assessable for response by second-look surgery or clinical progression. Fifteen of 44 patients achieved a pathologic complete response (34%). The pathologic complete response rate in optimal-disease patients was 12 of 22 (55%), while only three of 22 (13%) suboptimal stage III and IV patients achieved a pathologic complete response. CONCLUSION The Gynecologic Oncology Group has initiated a pilot phase II trial of this approach in patients with optimally debulked stage III ovarian cancer. There is no evidence to support the use of this or other aggressive regimens outside of a clinical trial.

PURPOSE Topotecan is a topoisomerase I inhibitor with preclinical activity against various tumor types. We conducted a large multicenter phase II study with topotecan in ovarian cancer in patients who had failed to respond to one prior cisplatin-based chemotherapeutic regimen. PATIENTS AND METHODS Topotecan 1.5 mg/m2/d was administered intravenously by 30-minute infusion for 5 days repeated every 3 weeks. As the cisplatin-free interval relates to response in subsequent treatment, patients were stratified in subgroups, ie, cisplatin-refractory, cisplatin-resistant, and cisplatin-sensitive. RESULTS One-hundred eleven patients entered the study. Nineteen patients were considered to be ineligible; 92 patients were assessable for response. A total of 552 courses were given (median, four per patient; range, one to 17). The major toxicities were leukocytopenia and neutropenia, which were grade 3 to 4 in 54.2% and 69.1% of courses, respectively, but with only 4.3% of these being grade 4 neutropenia plus fever or infectious complications. Prophylactic granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) was given in 20.5% of courses to maintain dose-intensity. Other relatively frequent side effects were alopecia (82%), nausea (36.4%), and vomiting (17.5%). The overall response rate was 16.3%, with one complete response (CR) and 14 partial responses (PRs). In the cisplatin-refractory, cisplatin-resistant, and cisplatin-sensitive strata, the response rates were 5.9%, 17.8%, and 26.7%, respectively. The median duration of time of documented response was 21.7 weeks (range, 4.6 to 41.9). CONCLUSION Topotecan in a daily-times-five schedule is an effective regimen as second-line treatment in ovarian cancer. Further investigations of topotecan in ovarian cancer, including first-line use and combination with other active agents, are indicated.

15009 Background: Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) has been shown to be involved in several steps of ovarian onset and progression and its overepression is associated with a poor chance of response to chemotherapy and poor prognosis in ovarian cancer. Celecoxib, an orally active selective COX-2 inhibitor, has been tested for its ability to potentiate the activity of carboplatin in treatment of heavily pretreated recurrent ovarian cancer patients. Methods: A phase II study was planned, considering the regimen active if at least 12 responses were observed among the 43 enrolled patients. Celecoxib (400 mg/die), and carboplatin (5 AUC) q28 were administered, until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Response was assessed by RECIST and also by Rustin criteria. Results: 34 pts (median age: 60 yrs, range 28–74) and an ECOG performance status (0/1/2) of (21/12/1), were enrolled. 58.8% of patients were platinum resistant (progressing during or < 6 months from primary treatment). Median number of previous chemotherapy regimens was 3 (range 2–6). Currently 27 patients are evaluable for response. The overall response rate (CR and PR) was 25.9% (2 CR, 5 PR) with stabilization of disease in 8 patients (29.6%). Four responses occurred in platinum sensitive and 3 in platinum resistant group Median time to response was 11 weeks (range 9–19) and median duration of response was 23 weeks (range 12–39). According to Rustin criteria 10 patients out of 25 (40%) were considered responsive to treatment (return of CA125 levels to normal level or >50% reduction). Overall, 143 cycles were administered with a median value of 3 cycles (range = 1–10). Moderate/severe toxicities were as follows: G3 anemia occurred in 2.3% cycles, G3 neutropenia in 4.6% cycles, G3 thrombocytopenia in 1.5% cycles, G3/4 gastrointestinal toxicity occurred in 4.6% cycles. Cutaneous diffuse erithema was observed in 2 patients, in both cases recovered with a short period of antihistaminic treatment; 2 cases of hypertension were documented, G2 hypersensitivity reactions during carboplatin infusion were observed in 4 cases. Conclusions: Celecoxib combined with carboplatin is well tolerated and has promising activity as salvage treatment in heavily pretreated recurrent ovarian cancer patients. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

TPS6104 Background: Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecological cancers in the USA, and the fifth most common cause of cancer death in women. Ola is a PARPi approved for first-line maintenance treatment of BRCA-mutated advanced ovarian cancer in women who achieve a complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy. Ola is also efficacious in combination with bevacizumab in the same population, independent of BRCA mutation status. Cer is a potent, oral, selective inhibitor of ATR. ATR is a critical DDR kinase that is activated in response to replication stress and stalled replication forks. There is no second maintenance standard of care for patients with PSR ovarian cancer who have previously received a PARPi in the maintenance setting. Pre-clinical models have shown that several mechanisms of PARPi resistance may be overcome by ATR inhibition, such as BRCA reversion, replication fork protection and DDR rewiring. DUETTE will select pts with tumor response or stable disease after second or third-line platinum-based treatment, with the expectation to enrich for non-BRCA reversion PARPi resistance mechanisms. The study will address the role of a second maintenance treatment following prior 1L or 2L maintenance, an emerging population of unmet need, and includes translational studies that aim to further our knowledge of clinical PARPi resistance mechanisms and predictors of treatment response. Methods: DUETTE is a global, multi-center, phase II study. 192 pts with PSR epithelial ovarian cancer who have previously received PARPi maintenance treatment, will be retreated with platinum and those who have not progressed after ≥ 4 cycles will be randomized (1:1:1) to 3 treatment arms: Arm 1, open-label: cer 160 mg once daily (qd) days 1 to 7 plus ola 300 mg twice daily (bd); Arm 2, blinded: ola monotherapy 300 mg bd and Arm 3, blinded: ola-placebo. Treatment is administered in 28-day cycles. All pts will be stratified by BRCA status (mutation or wildtype) and response to most recent line of platinum-based chemotherapy (CR/PR or SD). The primary endpoint is to assess the efficacy of maintenance ola monotherapy and cer+ola combination therapy compared with placebo by PFS using blinded, independent central review. Secondary endpoints are overall survival, PFS2, ORR, DoR, safety and tolerability. Enrolment is planned to start in April 2020.
