Abstract 1887

Background

Most pts with advanced OC will experience recurrence within 2 years of initial platinum-based treatment. An unmet need exists for therapies that delay disease recurrence. Niraparib (Zejula®) is a selective poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) 1/2 inhibitor approved for maintenance in pts with recurrent OC regardless of BRCA or homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) status. Bev is a VEGF inhibitor approved in OC for treatment and maintenance therapy. Targeted therapies + VEGF inhibition showed synergy in preclinical models. Induction of intratumoural hypoxia downregulating BRCA and RAD51 may sensitize tumours to PARP inhibition and lead to apoptosis via contextual synthetic lethality. Niraparib + bev is being explored in the treatment setting in the ongoing phase 1/2 AVANOVA trial, which has shown that niraparib can be safely combined with bev. In OVARIO, niraparib + bev will be evaluated in the maintenance setting in pts with advanced OC who have recovered from primary debulking surgery and responded to frontline platinum-based chemo with bev.

Trial design

Target enrolment is 90 pts, regardless of BRCA or HRD status, with stage 3b and 4 epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer. Pts must achieve complete or partial response or no evidence of disease after frontline platinum-based chemo with bev. The starting dose of niraparib will be based on baseline body weight and/or platelet count. Pts weighing ≥77 kg with a platelet count of ≥ 150,000/μL will receive 300 mg qd. Pts weighing <77 kg or with a platelet count of < 150,000/μL will receive 200 mg qd. The bev dosage will be 15 mg/kg q3w up to 15 months. Pts will be treated continuously until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary objective for OVARIO is progression-free survival at 18 months. Secondary objectives include overall survival, time to first subsequent therapy, and safety and tolerability.
