Efficacy of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin maintenance therapy in platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:To examine the effectiveness of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) maintenance therapy (intravenous administration at dose 40 mg/m2 on day 1, repeated every 4 weeks) after first-line salvage chemotherapy for platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS:This retrospective cohort study examined women with a first recurrence of platinum-sensitive epithelial ovarian cancer diagnosed between 2005 and 2015. Eligible cases had PLD maintenance following the first-line salvage chemotherapy (n?=?28). Outcomes of interest included adverse events related to PLD maintenance therapy and survival outcome after the first recurrence. RESULTS:The median number of PLD maintenance cycles was 7.5 (range 2-26), and 11 (40%) women received???12 cycles. The median cumulative dose of PLD was 432.5 mg/m2 (range 120-1200 mg/m2). No women developed cardiotoxicity or secondary malignancies. There were 16 (57%) women who developed any grade of adverse events, including 3 (11%) women who developed grade 3 adverse events. There were no grade 4 adverse events. The most common adverse event was mucositis (n?=?7, 25%). Dose reduction due to adverse events occurred in 14 (50%) women including 3 (11%) women with discontinuation due to toxicity. Median progression-free survival and overall survival after the initiation of PLD maintenance was 14.5 months (2-year rate 21.1%) and 51.2 months (5-year rate 43.4%), respectively. CONCLUSION:Our study suggests that PLD maintenance therapy for platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer is relatively well tolerated with the use of dose reduction to manage toxicity. Our study suggests that PLD maintenance therapy may be effective for women with platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer.

Project description:PurposeThe noninterventional, prospective NIMES-ROC phase IV study (NCT02825420) evaluated trabectedin plus pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) in real-life clinical practice.Patients and methodsEligible participants included adults with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer (PS-ROC) who had received one or more cycles of trabectedin/PLD before inclusion according to the marketing authorization. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) according to investigator criteria.ResultsTwo hundred eighteen patients from five European countries were evaluated, 72.5% of whom were pretreated with at least two prior chemotherapy lines and received a median of six cycles of trabectedin/PLD (range: 1-24). Median PFS was 9.46 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 7.9-10.9), and median overall survival (OS) was 23.56 months (95% CI, 18.1-34.1). Patients not pretreated with an antiangiogenic drug obtained larger median PFS (p < .007) and OS (p < .048), largely owning to differences between the two populations. Twenty-four patients (11.0%) had a complete response, and 57 patients (26.1%) achieved a partial response for an objective response rate (ORR) of 37.2%. Fifty-nine patients (27.1%) had disease stabilization for a disease control rate of 64.2%. No statistically significant difference in PFS, OS, or ORR was observed by BRCA1/2 status and platinum sensitivity. Most common grade 3/4 adverse events (AEs) were neutropenia (30.3%), anemia (6.4%), thrombocytopenia (5.5%), and asthenia (5.0%). No deaths attributed to treatment-related AEs or unexpected AEs occurred.ConclusionThe combination of trabectedin/PLD represents a clinically meaningful and safe option for patients with PS-ROC regardless of prior treatment with an antiangiogenic drug, being comparable with previously observed outcomes in selected and less pretreated patients from clinical trials.Implications for practiceThis noninterventional, prospective study, conducted in 57 reference sites across Europe, consistently confirmed that trabectedin plus pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) in routine clinical practice represents a clinically meaningful and safe option for women with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer. Although the study population represented a heterogeneous, older, and more pretreated population than those in prospective clinical trials, the combination of trabectedin plus PLD induced comparable clinical benefits, with a similar and manageable safety profile. Overall, these findings show that trabectedin in combination with PLD maintains antitumor activity when administered to heavily pretreated patients in real-life clinical practice.
