Avelumab (MSB0010718C; anti-PD-L1) in patients with recurrent/refractory ovarian cancer from the JAVELIN Solid Tumor phase Ib trial: Safety and clinical activity.

Abstract

5533Background: Avelumab* is a fully human anti-PD-L1 IgG1 antibody under clinical investigation in multiple cancers. We report safety and clinical activity of avelumab in patients (pts) with recurrent/refractory ovarian cancer (OC; NCT01772004). Methods: Pts with advanced OC unselected for PD-L1 expression received avelumab 10 mg/kg IV Q2W until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal. Tumors were assessed every 6 wks (RECIST 1.1). Unconfirmed objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were evaluated. Adverse events (AEs) were graded by NCI-CTCAE v4.0. PD-L1 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Results: As of Oct 23, 2015, 124 pts were treated with avelumab (median 12 wks [range 2-54]) and followed for a median of 54 wks (range 11-101). Median age was 62 y (range 27-84), ECOG PS was 0 (47.6%) or 1 (52.4%), and median number of prior therapies was 4 (range 1-13). Treatment-related (TR) AEs occurred in 82 pts (66.1%); most common (≥10%) w...
