Abstract

Objective: The phase 3 VELIA trial demonstrated that veliparib dosed concurrently with carboplatin and paclitaxel and continued as maintenance monotherapy resulted in significantly better progression-free survival (PFS) compared to carboplatin and paclitaxel alone in patients with newly diagnosed advanced high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC). VELIA enrolled patients without regard to germline or somatic BRCA mutations (BRCAm), homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), or platinum sensitivity, providing a unique opportunity to evaluate the prognostic and predictive role of the HRD assay.
