e18042 Background: The clinical utility of maintenance therapy (MT) for patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer (PSROC) has been validated in several clinical trials. We assessed real world treatment patterns using a US nationwide electronic health record database. Methods: A retrospective study of patients with PSROC between March 2017 and July 2019 was conducted using the Flatiron Health database. This longitudinal, demographically and geographically diverse de-identified database covers > 2.2 million oncology patients in > 280 cancer clinics. Patients were excluded if second or third line (2L or 3L) platinum-based chemotherapy (PBT) regimens included less than four or more than eight cycles of platinum. Information regarding somatic or germline BRCA mutations and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) were obtained. Results: 2292 patients with PSROC were identified (had 2L or 3L treatment); 1214 of these received PBT at recurrence; 610 completed the PBT for recurrence on or after March 2017; 351 received 4–8 cycles of PBT; 225 patients had ≥2 months of active surveillance or were receiving MT of PARPi or bevacizumab (B) and were included in this analysis. 183 patients (80%) had BRCA testing and 14 patients (6%) had HRD testing. 46 (20%) had a germline or somatic BRCA mutations (t BRCA), 134 (59%) had a wildtype wt BRCA gene, and 48 (21%) were unknown. Of patients with tBRCA, 63% received a PARP inhibitor (PARPi), 17% received B, 20% received active surveillance. Of patients with wt BRCA, 40% received a PARPi, 24% received B, and 37% received active surveillance. Olaparib was the most commonly used PARPi among tBRCA patients (26%), while niraparib was most commonly used among wt BRCA patients (21%). MT was more common in younger patients, those with a better performance status and with a BRCA mutation. MT use trend increased by 21% during the study period. As PARPi use increased, the use of active surveillance as a post-platinum regimen decreased during the later time periods (Table). Conclusions: In this real world population, the majority of patients with PSROC are receiving maintenance therapy. While genetic testing is improving, universal testing of all patients with ovarian cancer remains the goal. The results provide insight into the shifting treatment patterns for patients with ovarian cancer. [Table: see text]

BackgroundAvelumab, a PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), was recently approved as first-line (1L) maintenance therapy for locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (aUC) after disease control with platinum-based chemotherapy.1 Given the evolving treatment landscape, the study aim was to gain real-world insights into clinical decision-making among oncologists for patients with aUC.MethodsIn March 2021, a cross-sectional web-based survey was administered to a sample of US oncologists treating patients with aUC. Oncologists' demographics, practice characteristics, and treatment patterns were obtained; descriptive statistics were used.ResultsThe study included 151 medical oncologists, who reported that 54% and 31% of their patients, on average, would be classified as cisplatin or carboplatin eligible for their 1L treatment, respectively. Approximately 78% of oncologists (n=118) considered using ICI maintenance in ≥40% of their patients following disease control with platinum chemotherapy and were categorized as the “high-consideration” group, for further exploratory analysis; the rest (22%) were in the low-consideration group (See table 1). Approximately, 31% and 27% of oncologists in the high- and low-consideration groups reported administering ICI maintenance with a 2–3-week gap after chemotherapy, while 45% and 46% reported administering it with a 4–6-week gap after chemotherapy, respectively.ConclusionsSurveyed oncologists reported that 85% of patients with aUC in US may be eligible for platinum-based chemotherapy. Further, 78% of the surveyed oncologists would consider 1L ICI maintenance therapy after disease control with platinum-based chemotherapy for over 40% of their patients. Future studies are warranted to evaluate real-world treatment patterns, barriers, and utilization of ICI maintenance therapy as the new 1L standard of care.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to acknowledge all physicians at who participated and completed the survey for the study.ReferencePowles T, et al.

e18710 Background: With the advent of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi), options for first-line (1L) maintenance therapy in ovarian cancer (OC) have evolved in the US. This study described the use of 1L maintenance and assessed predictors of 1L maintenance use among PARPi-eligible patients (pts) with OC in a real-world setting. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included pts with newly diagnosed stage III/IV epithelial OC who received 6–9 cycles of 1L platinum-based chemotherapy (PBC) and primary or interval debulking surgery following neoadjuvant chemotherapy between Jan 1, 2016, and Feb 29, 2020, from the nationwide Flatiron Health electronic health record–derived deidentified database. The end of the last cycle of 1L PBC was defined as the index date. Those pts who started second-line chemotherapy within 2 months of the index date were excluded. Logistic regression was used to analyze variables with regard to 1L maintenance use. Results: In total, 463 pts were included; 21% received maintenance therapy, 79% received active surveillance. Baseline characteristics are shown in the table. Overall maintenance therapy use increased over the study period, from 7.7% to 37.7%. Pts with BRCA wild type were significantly less likely to receive maintenance therapy (odds ratio [OR]: 0.30; 95% CI, 0.16–0.59) than pts with BRCA mutation. Pts treated in 2018 (OR: 2.73; 95% CI, 1.25–5.98) and 2019 (OR: 8.78; 95% CI, 4.15–18.55) were significantly more likely to receive maintenance therapy than pts treated in 2017. Age, race, practice type, ECOG score, and residual disease status were not significant predictors of 1L maintenance use. Conclusions: Nearly 40% of pts with advanced stage OC received upfront maintenance therapy with an increasing trend over time, particularly in those with biomarker guidance. Research is warranted toward addressing barriers to the appropriate use of maintenance therapy.[Table: see text]

5579 Background: Approximately 1% of US women will be diagnosed with epithelial OC during their lifetime. OC patients who achieve a response to platinum-based chemotherapy may benefit from maintenance therapy, with the goal of inducing a lasting remission or extending the time interval before progression without any deleterious impact on quality of life1. This analysis, based on real world data sourced from US community oncology practices, was designed to assess the current utilization of maintenance therapy among maintenance eligible patients. Methods: This analysis utilized the Integra Data Exchange (DTX) database, a deidentified data source from community oncology practice systems (EMR, practice management, paid claims). This retrospective study included 3,629 OC patients with at least two visits between 7/16/16 and 4/16/18. 398 patients who completed 2nd line or later platinum-based chemotherapy for 4-9 cycles and/or had a complete/partial response between 1/1/17 and 7/31/18 were included. Potential maintenance therapy options were monotherapy of PARP inhibitors, bevacizumab, and non-platinum-chemotherapy agents. Rate of maintenance therapy after platinum-based treatment was assessed. Results: Our real-world analysis found that 49% of 398 maintenance eligible patients received maintenance therapy at least once following response to 2nd line or later platinum chemotherapy. Among those that received maintenance, 46% received PARPi, 28% bevacizumab, and 26% non-platinum chemotherapy. Further, 56% of women with BRCA mutations received maintenance treatment, compared with 49% of women without BRCA mutations. Conclusions: Though there are several options available, 51% of OC women studied who could potentially benefit from maintenance treatment did not receive maintenance. Only 56% of BRCA mutation carriers were targeted for maintenance in the real world. Among patients that receive maintenance therapy following 2nd line or later platinum chemotherapy 46% received a PARPi based regimen. 1) Quality of life in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer treated with niraparib versus placebo (ENGOT-OV16/NOVA): results from a double-blind, phase 3, randomized controlled trial.

e18049 Background: Since first approvals for targeted therapies (TTs) in ovarian cancer (OC) patients (pts) in 2014, FDA approvals for TTs including bevacizumab (bev) and PARP inhibitors (PARPis) continue to expand. Approval of front line (1L) indications for bevacizumab (all-comers) and maintenance olaparib (BRCA-mutated) occurred in 2018. Here we describe real-world trends in the use of these TTs. Methods: Data were analyzed from the nationwide Flatiron Health electronic health record (EHR)-derived de-identified database of patient-level data, curated via technology-enabled abstraction. We used descriptive statistics and significance tests to describe TT use in pts with OC. Results: We included 2975 treated OC pts diagnosed from 2011-18, with treatment data through 2019. Median follow-up was 32 months. 47% of OC pts received TT during follow-up, 12% of whom received TT during 1L. TTs were given as maintenance therapy in 54% of 1L and 37% of recurrent (2L+) OC pts. 40% of OC pts received bevacizumab anytime, 24% of whom received bevacizumab during 1L. Bevacizumab was given as maintenance therapy in 43% of 1L and 26% of recurrent OC pts. 20% of 2L and 17% of 3L bevacizumab-treated pts were platinum sensitive. From 2012-19, bevacizumab use changed biennially from 10% to 10% to 8% to 18% in FL (p < 0.001), 24% to 35% to 34% to 38% in 2L (p = 0.008), and 21% to 34% to 35% to 36% in 3L (p = 0.06). Corresponding changes in PARPis use were 0% to 0% to 5% to 13% in FL (p = 0.03), 0% to 1% to 11% to 23% in 2L (p = 0.09), and 0% to 3% to 10% to 20% in 3L (p = 0.02). TT use (ever vs. never during follow-up) was more common among pts with stage III-IV tumors (81% vs. 55%), serous histology (90% vs. 75%), history of BRCA (82% vs. 61%) or NGS (38% vs. 13%) testing, and BRCA mutations (21% vs. 33%) (p < 0.001 for all). Conclusions: Bevacizumab and PARPi use is expanding in 1L and 2L treatment; in 1L bevacizumab was more common than PARPis in 2019 (31% vs. 19%). These data reflect the evolving treatment landscape in 1L OC, which is expected to further evolve based on recent evidence from maintenance PARPi monotherapy and PARPi + bevacizumab combination studies.

6002 Background: SOLO2 (ENGOT ov-21; NCT01874353) showed that maintenance therapy with the PARP inhibitor olaparib in pts with platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer (PSROC) and a BRCA mutation (BRCAm) led to a statistically significant improvement in median progression-free survival (PFS) of 13.6 months vs placebo (hazard ratio [HR] 0.30). Time to second progression or death significantly improved (Pujade-Lauraine et al Lancet Oncol 2017) and a quality-adjusted PFS benefit was seen (Friedlander et al Lancet Oncol 2018) with maintenance olaparib vs placebo. We report the preplanned final OS analysis for SOLO2. Methods: Pts with PSROC and a BRCAm who had received ≥2 lines of treatment and were in response to their most recent platinum-based chemotherapy received maintenance olaparib (300 mg bid tablets) or placebo. Pts were stratified by response to previous chemotherapy (complete vs partial) and length of platinum-free interval (>6–12 months vs >12 months). OS was a secondary endpoint. The only preplanned OS sensitivity analysis was an OS analysis in the Myriad germline BRCAm subset (Myriad BRAC Analysis test). Results: At final data cut-off (Feb 3, 2020), median follow-up was 65 months in both treatment arms. A long-term treatment benefit was seen with olaparib vs placebo with an OS HR of 0.74 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.54–1.00) in the full analysis set (FAS; unadjusted for crossover; 38.4% of placebo pts crossed over to a PARP inhibitor) (Table). At 5 years: by Kaplan-Meier estimates, 28.3% of pts in the olaparib arm vs 12.8% of pts in the placebo arm were alive and had still not received subsequent treatment; 42.1% of olaparib pts vs 33.2% of placebo pts were alive. The long-term tolerability profile of olaparib was generally consistent with that reported previously. Conclusions: In the final analysis of SOLO2, maintenance olaparib provided an unprecedented improvement of 12.9 months in median OS vs placebo. This is the first study with olaparib tablets, and the first since Study 19 (NCT00753545), to provide long-term follow-up and final OS data in pts with PSROC and a BRCAm. Clinical trial information: NCT01874353. [Table: see text]

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.
