Abstract

Introduction/Background Maintenance therapy for recurrent ovarian cancer is intended to extend progression-free survival (PFS) without compromising patient quality of life; therefore, the clinical benefits of prolonged PFS should be evaluated in the context of toxicities that may compromise patients‘ wellbeing. In ARIEL3 (CO-338-014; NCT01968213), rucaparib significantly improved PFS vs placebo in all predefined patient cohorts regardless of biomarker status (Coleman et al. Lancet. 2017;390:1949-61) or age (Ledermann et al. Presented at SGO 2019; abst 4). This post hoc exploratory analysis examined quality-adjusted PFS (QA-PFS) and quality-adjusted time without symptoms or toxicity (Q-TWiST) in patients from ARIEL3, including the subgroup of patients with a BRCA mutation and subgroups based on patient age.

Methodology Patients were randomised 2:1 to oral rucaparib (600 mg BID) or placebo. QA-PFS and Q-TWiST were analysed in patients with a BRCA mutation (germline, somatic, or origin unknown), the ITT population (ie, all randomised patients), and subgroups of the ITT population defined by patient age at baseline (<65, 65–74, or ≥75 years). Q-TWiST was performed using 2 sets of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs): all grade ≥3 TEAEs and grade ≥2 TEAEs of nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and asthenia only.

Results The visit cutoff date for these analyses was 15 April 2017. QA-PFS, Q-TWiST considering grade ≥3 TEAEs, and Q-TWiST considering select grade ≥2 TEAEs were significantly longer with rucaparib than placebo in patients with a BRCA mutation and in the ITT population (table). Across all age subgroups, QA-PFS and Q-TWiST (both analyses) were significantly longer with rucaparib than placebo (table 1).

Conclusion In the ITT population, BRCA-mutant subgroup, and age subgroups analysed, the quality-adjusted analyses, which incorporated patient-centred perspectives, confirmed the benefit of rucaparib vs placebo.
