Abstract 264TiP
Background
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer and is often diagnosed at advanced stages. The current standard of care (SOC) for advanced EOC is primary debulking surgery (PDS) followed by adjuvant carboplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy (CT). Although SOC may be effective initially, most patients experience relapse within 3 years after treatment. Combination therapy with PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab (pembro) plus PARP inhibitor niraparib resulted in efficacy in patients with platinum-resistant, relapsed OC in the phase 1/2 study TOPACIO/KEYNOTE-162. The PARP inhibitor olaparib is approved for women with newly diagnosed BRCA-mutated OC, as well as for platinum-sensitive, recurrent OC regardless of BRCA1/2 status. Pembro plus CT followed by olaparib maintenance therapy is being investigated in ENGOT-ov43/KEYLYNK-001 (NCT03740165), a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, active- and placebo-controlled study for first-line treatment of women with BRCA1/2-nonmutated advanced EOC.
Trial design
Women with stage III or IV BRCA-nonmutated EOC, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer will be randomized 1:1:1 after one lead-in cycle of CT to receive pembro + CT followed by olaparib maintenance; pembro + CT followed by placebo; or placebo + CT followed by placebo. Stratification factors include surgery status (residual tumor after PDS [yes/no] or planned interval debulking), planned bevacizumab use (yes/no), and PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS; <10 or ≥ 10). Pembro 200 mg Q3W will be administered for 35 infusions and CT will be administered for 5 cycles. Twice-daily olaparib 300 mg maintenance therapy will start after the end of CT as concomitant treatment with pembro for 2 years if the patient has a complete response or until discontinuation. Bevacizumab use is determined at the investigator’s discretion before randomization. Primary endpoints are investigator-assessed PFS per RECIST 1.1 criteria and OS. Key secondary endpoints are PFS assessed per RECIST 1.1 by blinded independent central review, PFS after next-line treatment, and safety. Enrollment is currently ongoing.
