The efficacy, safety, and beneficiary population of angiogenesis inhibitor apatinib plus chemotherapy in recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients: A comparative cohort study.

Angiogenesis inhibitor apatinib targets vascular endothelial growth factor receptors and improves the outcomes of patients with gynecologic malignancy. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of angiogenesis inhibitor apatinib plus chemotherapy in recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (RPR-OC) patients. This study retrieved 67 RPR-OC patients who received apatinib plus chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone and divided them into apatinib + chemo (N = 30) and chemo alone (N = 37) groups according to the actual medication. Objective response rate (36.7% vs. 16.2%, p = 0.056) and disease control rate (80.0% vs. 59.5%, p = 0.072) showed an increased trend in apatinib + chemo group versus chemo alone group. The progression-free survival (PFS) (p = 0.010) and overall survival (OS) (p = 0.042) were prolonged in apatinib + chemo group versus chemo alone group. The median (95%confidence interval [CI]) PFS was 5.9 (5.5-6.3) months in apatinib + chemo group and 3.8 (2.0-5.6) months in chemo alone group. The median (95%CI) OS was 20.5 (16.5-24.5) months in apatinib + chemo group and 13.6 (8.6-18.6) months in chemo alone group. Apatinib plus chemotherapy was independently related with better PFS (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.354, p < 0.001) and OS (HR: 0.116, p < 0.001). Subgroup analyses indicated that patients with a more serious disease condition might benefit more from apatinib plus chemotherapy. No difference was found in adverse events of all grade or grade ≥3 between the two groups (all p > 0.05). Angiogenesis inhibitor apatinib plus chemotherapy shows better treatment efficacy than chemotherapy alone with controllable safety profile in RPR-OC patients.

Efficacy and safety of oxaliplatin-based hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy with secondary cytoreduction for platinum resistant recurrent ovarian cancer: A single-center retrospective cohort study

Background/purposeThis retrospective study evaluated the efficacy and adverse effects of oxaliplatin-based hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with secondary cytoreductive surgery (CRS) in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer. MethodsPatients diagnosed with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer, including fallopian tube and peritoneal origin, who underwent oxaliplatin-based HIPEC with secondary CRS, were enrolled. The primary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and adverse events. ResultsA total of 33 patients were included in the analysis. The mean PFS and OS were 20.4 months (95% CI 16.3–24.5 months) and 26.7 months (95% CI 23.7–29.7), respectively. Furthermore, the OS and PFS between platinum-sensitive and resistant recurrence showed no significant difference. Univariate and multivariate analysis of PFS identified a pre-operative peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) score of ≥5 as a poor prognostic factor. Among them, the incidence of acute kidney injury was 9.0 % & none had grade ≧3 adverse events. ConclusionOxaliplatin-based HIPEC with secondary CRS might provide a survival benefit for patients with recurrent ovarian cancer with a decreased incidence of renal toxicity compared to cisplatin-based regimens. It might be effective and feasible in selected recurrent ovarian cancer patients, regardless of platinum-sensitive or resistant.

Gynecologic Cancer InterGroup CA125 response has a high negative predictive value for CHK1 inhibitor RECIST response in recurrent ovarian cancer

We investigated the association of CA125 response with prognosis and RECIST response/progressive disease (PD) criteria in recurrent high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) patients treated with a cell cycle checkpoint kinase 1 inhibitor (CHK1i), prexasertib. 81 patients had measurable disease per RECISTv1.1, of which 72 and 70 were measurable by Gynecologic Cancer InterGroup (GCIG) CA125 response and PD criteria, respectively. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that GCIG CA125 response (n = 32) is associated with improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to no GCIG CA125 response (n = 40) (median PFS 8.0 vs. 3.5 months [HR: 0.30, 95% CI: 0.18–0.51, p < 0.0001]; median OS 19.8 vs. 10.0 months [HR: 0.38, 95% CI: 0.23–0.64, p < 0.001]) independent of BRCA mutation status, platinum-sensitivity, previous PARP inhibitor therapy, ECOG performance status, and FIGO stage. Notably, GCIG CA125 response had a high negative predictive value (NPV: 93%, 95% CI: 80–98), but poor positive predictive value (PPV: 53%, 95% CI: 35–71) in predicting RECIST response. CA125 PD criteria also showed poor concordance with RECIST PD (PPV 56%, 95% CI: 40–71; NPV 33%, 95% CI: 17–54). Therefore, serum CA125 may be useful as a highly accessible prognostic and predictive biomarker to CHK1i therapy in recurrent HGSOC.

Combined aqupla, paclitaxel liposome, and docetaxel treatment: survival and biomarker outcomes in recurrent ovarian cancer patients.

As one lethal malignancy in women's reproductive systems, ovarian cancer (OC) is frequently detected at an advanced phase during diagnosis. when the disease has spread widely. The absence of obvious symptoms and powerful screening tools in the early stages makes treatment difficult and the prognosis poor. Despite the clinical remission that can be achieved in some patients after initial treatment, the recurrence rate is conspicuous, posing a considerable challenge in treating recurrent OC (ROC). In the retrospective analysis, we compared the effects of two treatment regimens, aqupla combined with paclitaxel liposome (NP group) versus aqupla combined with docetaxel (ND group), on survival and biomarkers in patients with ROC. The study included 121 OC patients, and clinical data were collected through an electronic medical record system, outpatient review records, and a follow-up record system. The results revealed a notably higher overall remission rate in the ND group than the NP group, but revealed no notable inter-group discrepancy in toxicities, implying that the aqupla combined with docetaxel regimen may be more effective in platinum-sensitive ROC patients. Additionally, post-treatment CA125 levels were lower in patients in the ND group, suggesting that the regimen may be more effective in reducing tumour load. Survival analysis further revealed that treatment regimen, FIGO stage, number of recurrent lesions, and pretreatment CA125 level were independent prognostic factors affecting patients' 5-year OS and PFS. Overall for ROC patients, especially platinum-sensitive patients, the aqupla in combination with docetaxel regimen provided an improved survival benefit with a comparable safety profile, highlighting the importance of individualised treatment strategies.

Weekly BH009 in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) and ovarian cancer: Interim phase I results.

e17545 Background: BH009 is a novel polysorbate 80-free formulation of docetaxel that will eliminate hypersensitivity reactions associated with polysorbate 80. BH009 has completed a bioavailability study compared to Taxotere and was found to have a better safety profile to Taxotere with the potential for higher doses. As a result, we conducted a phase I dose escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and the safety profile of a weekly BH009 regimen in the treatment of patients with advanced SCCHN and Ovarian cancer. Methods: This phase I study assessed safety of BH009 in patients with advanced SCCHN and Ovarian cancer. BH009 was administered at escalating doses (starting dose 40 mg/m2) as a 1-h i.v. infusion for three consecutive weeks every 28 days without dexamethasone premedication. Results: Up to January 2024, 11 patients were treated with BH009 (4 at 40 mg/m2, 7 at 50 mg/m2). 2 patients with SCCHN, and 9 patients with ovarian cancer. 100% of ovarian cancer patients were recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) patients. 82% (9/11) of patients had received prior taxanes, of whom 33% (3/9) had received prior docetaxel. There were no DLT observed in 40 mg/m2 dose groups, and one DLT was observed in the 50 mg/m2 group (grade 3 febrile neutropenia). The MTD for BH009 is expected to exceed 50 mg/m2, which would be higher than that of Taxotere under the same dosing regimen (≥50mg/m2 vs 42mg/m2*), and the overall tolerability was better than Taxotere. In this study, treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 100% (11/11) patients. The most common grade 3/4 TRAEs were Leukopenia (36%, n=4), Anaemia (36%, n=4), and Neutropenia (55%, n=6). Non-hematologic toxicities were generally mild with no grade 4 toxicity observed. No AEs that led to death were related to BH009. Up to January 2024, the DCR is 50% (3/6) after 2 courses of treatment. The ORR in 6 evaluable patients was 33% (2/6, 1 patient with SCCHN at 40 mg/m2, 1 patient with ovarian cancer at 50 mg/m2). One patient (17%, 1/6) with ovarian cancer at 50 mg/m2 dose group received a complete response to the target lesion and the non-target lesion was partially responded after 2 courses of BH009, and this patient had been previously treated with docetaxel, carboplatin, and bevacizumab. Conclusions: The weekly BH009 for three consecutive weeks every 28 days is a feasible schedule with a favorable toxicity profile, and the overall tolerability is better than Taxotere. BH009 has the potential to increase the dose of administration and improve the clinical efficacy. Dose escalation is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT06232863 . [Table: see text]

Study on the efficacy and toxicity of pamiparib combined with tamoxifen in the treatment of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer with biochemical recurrence during first-line PARPi maintenance therapy.

TPS5621 Background: A high proportion of ovarian cancer patients tend to have elevated CA-125 1-6 months before imaging recurrence. The time between biochemical recurrence (i.e., only elevated CA-125 without imaging finding or clinical symptoms) to imaging recurrence can be considered a "window period", and if the “window period” can be extended, it may convert platinum-resistant relapsed patients to platinum-sensitive patients, and ultimately improving patient outcomes. The timing of treatment for the biochemical recurrent patients has been controversial. Tamoxifen, an anti-estrogenic drug, is considered an effective option for these patients. Pamiparib (BGB-290) is an investigational small molecule inhibitor of PARP1 and PARP2. According to OReO study(NCT03106987), the "PARPi after PARPi" strategy is effective in recurrent ovarian cancer patients previously treated with a PARP inhibitor. Therefore, we aim to further explore the use of PARP inhibitors in maintenance therapy for patients with ovarian cancer. Methods: This study (NCT05669768) will evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of pamiparib and tamoxifen in ovarian cancer patients with biochemical recurrence during first-line PARPi maintenance therapy. The included ovarian cancer patients are required to achieve No Evidence of Disease (NED) or demonstrated a response following platinum-based chemotherapy, with normalized CA-125 levels. First-line maintenance treatment with a PARP inhibitor is mandatory, with a minimum interval of ≥6 months to biochemical recurrence. The trial design is interventional, employing a Simon two-stage design to estimate sample size. The primary outcome of the study is the CA-125 response rate, which was assessed according to the GCIG criteria.1 The secondary outcome was Time to First Subsequent Therapy (TFST). Patients undergo regular assessments for tumor markers and imaging throughout treatment. If persistent elevation of tumor markers or the detection of recurrent lesions or distant metastases is observed, the patient is promptly removed from the study group. Standardized antitumor therapy is then initiated based on the patient's condition. The total planned enrollment is 46 participants, utilizing a single-group assignment and an open-label design. 1 of planned 12 patients for the first stage of accrual have been enrolled.

Comparison of target agent treatment strategies for platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer: A Bayesian network meta-analysis.

We aimed to compare 7 newer immunotherapies and targeted therapies for platinum-resistant relapsed ovarian cancer. We conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library electronic databases for phase III trials involving platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer (PRrOC) patients treated with immunotherapy or targeted therapy in combination with chemotherapy. The quality of the included trials was assessed using the GRADE method. The primary outcome of comparison was progression-free survival, and secondary outcomes included overall survival and safety. This analysis included 7 randomized phase III controlled trials, encompassing 2485 PRrOC patients. Combining bevacizumab plus chemotherapy and lurbinectedin demonstrated statistically significant differences in progression-free survival compared to all other regimens of interest. However, no statistically significant differences were observed in the overall survival. Nivolumab and mirvetuximab exhibited fewer serious adverse events than the other regimens of interest. Our findings indicate that bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy and lurbinectedin monotherapy has significant efficacy in patients with PRrOC. For patients with PRrOC who have exhausted treatment options, nivolumab and mirvetuximab may be considered as alternatives because of their better safety profiles.

Efficacy and safety of niraparib in platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer: retrospective observational study in a tertiary hospital.

Niraparib has been authorized for maintenance treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer after first-line treatment with platinum, in partial or complete response. To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of maintenance niraparib in platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer (PSROC) patients in a tertiary hospital. This retrospective observational unicentre study included women diagnosed with ovarian adenocarcinoma who received niraparib. Eligibility criteria encompassed women with PSROC, in response to platinum chemotherapy, and not previously treated with other PARPis. Data on demographics, comorbidities, BRCA mutation status, disease stage, treatment history and adverse events were recorded. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. A total of 33 patients were included, with a median age of 63.5 years. The majority of patients received niraparib at 200 mg/day based on Research on Adverse Drug Events and Report criteria. Median OS was 30 months (95% CI: 16.76-43.23), and median PFS was 8 months (95% CI: 2.48-13.52). Adverse effects were more frequent during the initial months of treatment, with most classified as CTCAE v5 grade 1-2. Dose reductions, interruption of treatment and discontinuations were observed due to haematologic toxicities primarily. This real-world study showed that maintenance niraparib in PSROC patients had effectiveness and safety profiles consistent with clinical trials and other observational studies. Median PFS and OS were comparable to previous reports, and most adverse events were manageable with dose modifications. The results support the use of niraparib as a maintenance therapy option in this patient population.

TOP2A modulates signaling via the AKT/mTOR pathway to promote ovarian cancer cell proliferation

ABSTRACT Ovarian cancer (OC) is a form of gynecological malignancy that is associated with worse patient outcomes than any other cancer of the female reproductive tract. Topoisomerase II α (TOP2A) is commonly regarded as an oncogene that is associated with malignant disease progression in a variety of cancers, its mechanistic functions in OC have yet to be firmly established. We explored the role of TOP2A in OC through online databases, clinical samples, in vitro and in vivo experiments. And initial analyses of public databases revealed high OC-related TOP2A expression in patient samples that was related to poorer prognosis. This was confirmed by clinical samples in which TOP2A expression was elevated in OC relative to healthy tissue. Kaplan-Meier analyses further suggested that higher TOP2A expression levels were correlated with worse prognosis in OC patients. In vitro, TOP2A knockdown resulted in the inhibition of OC cell proliferation, with cells entering G1 phase arrest and undergoing consequent apoptotic death. In rescue assays, TOP2A was confirmed to regulate cell proliferation and cell cycle through AKT/mTOR pathway activity. Mouse model experiments further affirmed the key role that TOP2A plays as a driver of OC cell proliferation. These data provide strong evidence supporting TOP2A as an oncogenic mediator and prognostic biomarker related to OC progression and poor outcomes. At the mechanistic level, TOP2A can control tumor cell growth via AKT/mTOR pathway modulation. These preliminary results provide a foundation for future research seeking to explore the utility of TOP2A inhibitor-based combination treatment regimens in platinum-resistant recurrent OC patients.

Sexuality as a Prognostic Factor-Results of an Individual Patient Data NOGGO (North-Eastern German Society of Gynecological Oncology)-Meta-Analysis of 644 Recurrent Ovarian Cancer Patients Prior to Chemotherapy.

The aim of this study was to analyze the associations between sexuality, quality of life, treatment discontinuation, and survival in recurrent ovarian cancer (OC). Raw data from various phase II/III studies, including the questionnaires EORTC-QLQ-C30 and QLQ-OV28, were included. Data from the meta-analysis were calculated using logistic and Cox regression. Data on sexuality were available for 644 patients. A total of 162 patients had an interest in sex and were sexually active (Group A). A total of 45 patients had an interest in sex and were sexually not active (Group I) and 437 patients had no interest in sex and were not sexually active (Group N). Group A was younger in median age (age at randomization), at 57 years, than Group I, at 60 years, and Group N, at 65 years (p < 0.001). Group A had a better ECOG performance status and fewer recurrences (all p < 0.001). FIGO stage, grading, and BMI were not associated with interest in sex and sexual activity. Group A showed higher scores in role, body, and social function (all p < 0.001), emotional functionality (p < 0.002), and body image (p = 0.012). In addition, Group A reported less pain, less peripheral neuropathy, and less fatigue (all p < 0.001). There was no association with the premature discontinuation of chemotherapy. Group A showed better survival rates compared to group N (22.3 months vs. 17.4 months, p < 0.001). Physicians should routinely address the topic of sexuality with ovarian cancer patients. Sexuality appears to be a marker for quality of life as well as overall survival.

Signatures of tumor-associated macrophages correlate with treatment response in ovarian cancer patients.

Ovarian cancer (OC) ranks as the second leading cause of death among gynecological cancers. Numerous studies have indicated a correlation between the tumor microenvironment (TME) and the clinical response to treatment in OC patients. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), a crucial component of the TME, exert influence on invasion, metastasis, and recurrence in OC patients. To delve deeper into the role of TAMs in OC, this study conducted an extensive analysis of single-cell data from OC patients. The aim is to develop a new risk score (RS) to characterize the response to treatment in OC patients to inform clinical treatment. We first identified TAM-associated genes (TAMGs) in OC patients and examined the protein and mRNA expression levels of TAMGs by Western blot and PCR experiments. Additionally, a scoring system for TAMGs was constructed, successfully categorizing patients into high and low RS subgroups. Remarkably, significant disparities were observed in immune cell infiltration and immunotherapy response between the high and low RS subgroups. The findings revealed that patients in the high RS group had a poorer prognosis but displayed greater sensitivity to immunotherapy. Another important finding was that patients in the high RS subgroup had a higher IC50 for chemotherapeutic agents. Furthermore, further experimental investigations led to the discovery that THEMIS2 could serve as a potential target in OC patients and is associated with EMT (epithelial-mesenchymal transition). Overall, the TAMGs-based scoring system holds promise for screening patients who would benefit from therapy and provides valuable information for the clinical treatment of OC.

Focus on Trabectedin in Ovarian Cancer: What Do We Still Need to Know?

In the era of single and combination maintenance therapies as well as platinum and Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) resistance, the choice of subsequent treatments following first-line platinum-based chemotherapy in recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC) patients has become increasingly complex. Within the ovarian cancer treatment algorithm, particularly in the emerging context of PARPi resistance, the role of trabectedin, in combination with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) still preserves its significance. This paper offers valuable insights into the multifaceted role and mechanism of action of trabectedin in ROC. The main results of clinical trials and studies involving trabectedin/PLD, along with hints of Breast Cancer genes (BRCA)-mutated and BRCAness phenotype cases, are critically discussed. Moreover, this review provides and contextualizes potential scenarios of administering trabectedin in combination with PLD in ROC, according to established guidelines and beyond.

CYTOKINE-MODULATING INFLUENCE OF HIPEC ON THE INTRAPERITONEAL HOMEOSTASIS FORMATION IN PATIENTS WITH OVARIAN CANCER

Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) has the greatest mortality rate among oncogynecological diseases. Most cases are diagnosed at the peritoneal dissemination stage, resulting in radical treatment. Most cases (75%) are diagnosed in III-IV stages at the stage of peritoneal dissemination, making the radical treatment impossible. Intraoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC), which has ceased to be an experimental technique over the past decade, is increasingly used among the methods of combating peritoneal carcinomatosis and demonstrates an increase in recurrence-free and overall survival in advanced stages of OC. Nevertheless, certain pathophysiological aspects of the effect of HIPEC on intra-abdominal homeostasis, and therefore on the further course of the disease, have not been elucidated. However, understanding this effect may be the key to the successful application of HIPEC and predicting its efficacy in each case of OC.&#x0D; Objectives: To access changes in intraperitoneal homeostasis in patients with advanced OC after HIPEC procedure (as a stage of cytoreductive surgery); in particular, to evaluate changes of TNF and TGF-β expression under the influence of HIPEC and systemic chemotherapy in the OC microenvironment.&#x0D; Materials and methods: The study included 33 OC patients treated at Lviv Regional Cancer Centre in 2016–2020. Twelve of them received HIPEC. The primary tumor cultures and primary cultures of peritoneal mesothelium and macrophages were obtained for all patients. The cytokines TNF and TGF-β activity were determined in their conditional media.&#x0D; Results: The decrease of TNF and TGF-β concentrations in the drainage exudate after HIPEC was revealed compared with the same parameters in the ascitic fluid before the operation. One-hour hyperthermia of the primary culture of peritoneal ascites-associated macrophages of recurrent OC patients decreased the TNF level in conditional media. A decline was found in 10 out of 12 cases.&#x0D; Conclusions: HIPEC has a cytokine-modulating effect on the intra-abdominal homeostasis of patients with OC, suppressing TNF expression by peritoneal macrophages. Reduced activity of TNF in supernatants of OC primary tumor cultures was associated with higher sensitivity to chemotherapy.

Phenotype-guided targeted therapy based on functional signal transduction pathway activity in recurrent ovarian cancer patients: The STAPOVER study protocol

ObjectiveOvarian cancer is the fifth cause of cancer-related death among women. The benefit of targeted therapy for ovarian cancer patients is limited even if treatment is stratified by molecular signature. There remains a high unmet need for alternative diagnostics that better predict targeted therapy, as current diagnostics are generally inaccurate predictors. Quantitative assessment of functional signal transduction pathway (STP) activity from mRNA measurements of target genes is an alternative approach. Therefore, we aim to identify aberrantly activated STPs in tumour tissue of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer and start phenotype-guided targeted therapy to improve survival without compromising quality of life. Study designPatients with recurrent ovarian cancer and either 1) have platinum-resistant disease, 2) refrain from standard therapy or 3) are asymptomatic and not yet eligible for standard therapy will be included in this multi-centre prospective cohort study with multiple stepwise executed treatment arms. Targeted therapy will be available for patients with aberrantly high functional activity of the oestrogen receptor, androgen receptor, phosphoinositide 3-kinase or Hedgehog STP. The primary endpoint of this study is the progression-free survival (PFS) ratio (PFS2/PFS1 ratio) according to RECIST 1.1 determined by the PFS on matched targeted therapy (PFS2) compared to PFS on prior therapy (PFS1). Secondary endpoints include among others best overall response, overall survival, side effects, health-related quality of life and cost-effectiveness. ConclusionThe results of this study will show the clinical applicability of STP activity in selecting recurrent ovarian cancer patients for effective therapies.
