Abstract
5023 Background: OXA is active in mismatch repair (MMR) deficient cells, a condition prevalent in pretreated AOC. OXA/P shows high activity in investigator initiated studies (Faivre et al, Ann Oncol 10:1125, 1999). We evaluated efficacy and safety of OXA/P in AOC pts with clinically evaluable disease pretreated with 1 platinum based regimen ± taxanes and a progression-platinum-free interval (PPFI) ≥6 months (mo). Methods: From Dec 99 to Apr 02, 105 pts, 14 centres received P 175 mg/m2, 3h iv followed by OXA 130 mg/m2, 2h iv, every 3 weeks, for up to 9 cycles (cy) without G-CSF. Median (m) age: 58 years (range 37–83), 96% PS 0/1. PPFI: 69 pts >12 mo, 34 pts 6–12 mo; 80 pts (76%) taxane-pretreated. Results: 708 cy administered; m 7 cy/pt (1–9). Relative dose intensity: OXA 0.95, P 0.97. Efficacy: 98 pts eligible, 7 non-eligible (3 bowel occlusion, 3 >1 prior platinum-based chemotherapy, 2 PPFI not determinable). 98 pts evaluable for response (see table) ORR: 81% (95%CI 71–88), all but 3 responses third party reviewed; 90 pts evaluable for biological response (baseline CA125 ≥50 UI/ml): 89% response (decrease >75% or CA125 normalization >1 mo). Combined RECIST /biological response: 88% (95%CI 80–94). M follow-up: 27 mo (14–48); m PFS: 10.2 mo; projected OS >28 mo (44 events). Safety (NCI-CTC); % pts with grade (gr) 3/4: neutropenia 21/46; thrombocytopenia 15/1; nausea-vomiting 9/2; asthenia 7/1; allergic reaction: 1/1; cumulative reversible neurotoxicity gr 2/3 (OXA specific scale): 50/25 after a m 7 cy (3–9); febrile neutropenia: 9 episodes/8 pts; 4% cy required G-CSF; no treatment-related deaths. Conclusion: The OXA/P combination shows the highest level of efficacy in platinum-sensitive third party reviewed large phase II studies in platinum/taxane pretreated AOC pts with PPFI >6 mo, and can be administered in an outpatient setting without special safety measures.
