Abstract

maintenance therapy with PARP-inhibitors (PARPi) may alter efficacy of further chemotherapy in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (aEOC). We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate efficacy of various therapeutic agents in aEOC patients who progressed after maintenance olaparib therapy. we extracted data for patients with BRCA-positive aEOC who progressed after maintenance olaparib therapy from a prospectively maintained institutional database for 2014-2022 years. Using Cox proportional hazards regression model we analyzed the impact of various platinum, non-platinum and antiangiogenic agents on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients after subsequent anticancer therapy. Statistical analysis was done with R and RStudio software. we identified 146 patients who received maintenance olaparib in the specified timeline, of them 61 (41.7%) patients were treated with subsequent chemotherapy and had available outcomes data. Median duration of previous olaparib therapy was 11.5 mo., the drug was administered as maintenance therapy after median of 2 (1-7) lines of anticancer treatment. Median follow-up time post olaparib progression was 13.0 months. Median post progression PFS and OS were 7.2 mo. and 20.0 mo. Results of Cox-regression analysis of PFS and OS are summarized in Table below. Taxanes- and/or bevacizumab-containing therapy was associated with better outcomes compared to other therapeutic options. Administration of anthracyclines (PLD or doxorubicin) had a detrimental impact on PFS and OS.Table: 541PFactorPFSOSHR (95% CI)pHR (95% CI)p>2 prior lines.97 (.54-1.76).345.48 (.19-1.21).124Taxanes0.47 (.25-.86).0140.26 (.07-.89).032Anthracyclines5.7 (2.48-13.12)<.001*2.57 (1.02-6.51).045Gemcitabine1.28 (.64-2.56).4691.15 (.37-3.53).797Pt-agents1.28 (.56-2.91).546.75 (.24-2.31).627Bevacizumab.54 (0.29-0.98).043.46 (.17-1.20).114*remained significant in multifactor analysis.

Anthracyclines may be associated with inferior outcomes in this setting. While optimal treatment for patients progressing after PARPi is unknown, our study provides some insights and hypothesis-generating data for further trials.
