5501 Background: The role of secondary cytoreductive surgery in recurrent ovarian cancer (OC) has not been defined by level-1 evidence. Methods: Pts with OC and 1st relapse after 6+ mos platin-free interval (TFIp) were eligible if they presented with a positive AGO-score (PS ECOG 0, ascites ≤500 ml, and complete resection at initial surgery) and were randomized to 2nd-line chemotherapy alone vs cytoreductive surgery followed by chemo. Chemo regimens were selected according to the institutional standard. We report here results of the predetermined interim analysis. Results: 407pts were randomized 2010-2014. The TFIp exceeded 12 mos in 75% and 76% pts in both arms. 8.9% of 203 pts were operated despite of randomization to the no-surgery arm, whereas 6.9% of 204 pts in the surgery arm did not undergo operation. Complete resection was achieved in 67% of pts; 87% and 88% received a platinum-containing 2nd-line therapy. Median PFS was 14 mos without and 19.6 mos with surgery (HR: 0.66, 95%CI 0.52-0.83, p<0.001). Median time to start of first subsequent therapy (TFST) was 21 vs 13.9 mos in favor of the surgery arm (HR 0.61, 95%CI 0.48-0.77, p=p<0.001). PFS-2 between 1st and 2nd relapse equaled or even exceeded PFS-1 before 1strelapse in 26% after surgery and only 16% without-surgery. Analysis of the primary endpoint OS is kept blinded due to immaturity and will be evaluated after extended follow-up (the observed pooled unblinded 2-YSR was 83% instead of the initially in the protocol assumed 55-66%). 60d mortality rates were 0 and 0.5% in the surgery and no-surgery arm. Re-laparatomies were performed in 7 pts (3.5%) in the surgery arm.With the exception of myelosuppression which occurred more frequently in the no-surgery arm no further significant differences were observed with respect to grade 3+ acute adverse events. Conclusions: Surgery in pts with 1st relapse of OC after a TFIp of 6+ mos and selected by a positive AGO-Score resulted in a clinically meaningful increase of PFS and TFST with acceptable treatment burden. Until final OS data will definitively define the role of secondary cytoreductive surgery it should at least be considered as valuable option in pts with a positive AGO-Score. Clinical trial information: NCT01166737.

6000 Background: The role of secondary cytoreductive surgery in recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC) has been under debate for decades. A recent trial in unselected patients (pts) failed to show an OS benefit. Methods: Pts with ROC and 1st relapse after 6+ months (mos) platinum-free interval (TFIp) were eligible if they presented with a positive AGO-score (PS ECOG 0, ascites ≤500 ml, and complete resection at initial surgery) and were prospectively randomized to second-line chemotherapy alone vs. cytoreductive surgery followed by the same chemotherapy; platinum combination therapy was recommended. OS was primary endpoint in this superiority trial. Results: 407pts were randomized 2010-2014. The TFIp exceeded 12 mos in 75% of pts. 206 pts were allocated to the surgery arm of whom finally 187 (91%) were operated. A complete resection was achieved in 75%; almost 90% in both arms received a platinum-containing second-line chemo. Primary endpoint analysis showed median OS of 53.7 mos with and 46.2 mos without surgery (HR 0.76, 95%CI 0.59-0.97, p=0.03); median PFS was 18.4 and 14 mos (HR: 0.66, 95%CI 0.54-0.82, p<0.001), median time to start of first subsequent therapy (TFST) was 17.9 vs. 13.7 mos in favor of the surgery arm (HR 0.65, 95%CI 0.52-0.81, p<0.001). An analysis according to treatment showed an OS benefit exceeding 12 mos for pts with complete resection (CR) compared to pts without surgery (median 60.7 vs. 46.2 mos); pts with surgery and incomplete resection even did worse (median 28.8 mos). 60 d mortality rates were 0 and 0.5% in the surgery and no-surgery arm. Re-laparotomies were performed in 3.7% of operated pts. Further grade 3/4 adverse events did not differ significantly between arms. Conclusions: This is the first surgical study demonstrating a meaningful survival benefit in OC: Surgery in pts with first relapse and TFIp of 6+ mos and selected by a positive AGO-Score resulted in a significant increase of OS, PFS and TFST with acceptable morbidity and, therefore, should be offered to suitable pts. The benefit was exclusively seen in pts with CR indicating the importance of both the optimal selection of pts (eg. by AGO score) and of centres with expertise and a high chance of achieving a CR. Clinical trial information: NCT01166737.

Abstract Background Secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCS) is possible in selected patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The goal of SCS is complete resection, although chemotherapy is always followed. Delayed intervals between primary debulking surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy was reported to be associated with poorer survivals, however, the role of intervals in recurrent disease is still unknown. Materials and methods This retrospective cohort study reviewed data from electronic medical records of women with recurrent EOC treated at Samsung Medical Centre, Seoul, Korea, between January 1, 2002, and December 31, 2015. Patients who underwent SCS with adjuvant chemotherapy for recurrent EOC were eligible. We defined intervals as the period between the day of SCS and the first cycle of adjuvant chemotherapy. Results Seventy-nine patients were eligible for this study. Their median age was 48 (range, 18–69) years and median interval between the date of SCS and initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy was 10 (range, 4–115) days. The rate of complete resection was 72.2% (57/79). Division of the patients by interval (Group 1, interval ≤ 10 days; Group 2, interval > 10 days) revealed no difference in clinical parameters. No gross residual disease after SCS (no vs. any gross residual, p = 0.002) and longer platinum-free survival (over 12 vs. 6–12 months, p = 0.023) were independent favorable prognostic factors in Cox model; however, the intervals did not affect survival. Conclusions Delayed intervals to adjuvant chemotherapy after secondary cytoreductive surgery is not associated with decreased survivals. It is important to identify recurrent EOC patients who might have no gross residual disease following SCS. Moreover, surgeons should strive for complete resection.

5534 Background: NORA is the first, phase III, randomized controlled trial (RCT) that demonstrated individualized starting dose regimen of niraparib, which significantly improved PFS in Chinese patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer (PSROC). This sub-group analysis evaluated the efficacy of niraparib maintenance therapy with and without secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCS) in PSROC. Methods: The NORA phase III RCT included adult (≥18 years) Chinese women with PSROC who were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive oral niraparib (n = 177) or matched placebo (n = 88). This retrospective subgroup analysis was based on the progression-free survival (PFS) of niraparib maintenance therapy in these two groups of patients with PSROC, patients with SCS, and patients without SCS. The PFS was assessed by blinded independent central review. The Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimator and log-rank test were performed to calculate the median PFS time. Results: Of the 265 evaluable patients, 69 (26.0%) patients received the SCS (niraparib, n = 48; placebo, n = 21), and 196 (74.0%) patients were without SCS (niraparib, n = 129; placebo, n = 67). Among patients with and without SCS, baseline characteristics for BRCA mutation were 26.1% vs 41.8%, complete response to last platinum-based chemotherapy were 68.1% vs 43.9%, time (6-12 months) to progression after penultimate therapy were 23.2% vs 34.7%, respectively. Treatment with niraparib led to a significant reduction of risk to disease progression compared with placebo in patients with SCS (Hazard ratio [95% CI]: 0.32 [0.13–0.78]; P = 0.0102) and without SCS (0.34 [0.23–0.50]; P< 0.001). Moreover, in the subgroups of patients who received SCS, niraparib maintenance therapy had a significantly longer PFS compared with placebo (Median [95% CI]: not reached [18.33 – not estimable] vs 5.75 months [3.68 – not estimable]; P = 0.0102). This trend was also similar in the subgroup of patients who did not receive SCS (Median [95% CI]: 10.28 months [7.49 – 18.37] vs 4.90 months [3.71 – 5.52]; P < 0.0001). Conclusions: The results from this retrospective sub-group analysis revealed that niraparib maintenance therapy provided significant clinical efficacy in patients with PSROC, irrespective of SCS. Clinical trial information: NCT03705156.
