Abstract
Introduction/Background In the Phase III SOLO1 trial (NCT01844986), maintenance olaparib extended progression-free survival (PFS) versus placebo (2-year PFS rates: 74% for olaparib versus 35% for placebo) in patients with BRCA-mutated (BRCAm) advanced ovarian cancer (AOC). The pan-European OVAL-1 study (NCT04532645) aims to generate the first real-world evidence with 2 years’ minimum follow-up on treatment patterns and clinical outcomes of patients with BRCAm AOC receiving olaparib in the first-line maintenance setting.
Methodology This non-interventional, retrospective, observational cohort study enrolled patients across Italy, the UK, and France who had tumour/germline BRCAm AOC, were in response following first-line platinum-based chemotherapy, and had received maintenance olaparib (300 mg twice daily; starting dose between January 2019 and June 2020). Clinical data were analysed by country. Time to real-world overall survival (rw-OS), time to treatment discontinuation (rw-TTD), time to first subsequent treatment (rw-TFST), and olaparib treatment patterns were evaluated.
Results Of 357 patients enrolled, 342 were eligible for analysis. Country-specific patient characteristics, rw-OS, rw-TTD, rw-TFST, and adverse events (AEs) are presented in the table 1. The UK had a higher proportion of International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IV patients, lower rw-OS and lower rw-TFST compared with Italy and France. AEs were reported in 79.0%, 60.9%, and 40.8% of patients from Italy, the UK, and France, respectively. Anaemia and nausea were the most common AEs. One case of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) was reported in France.
Conclusion 2-year interim data from the pan-European OVAL-1 study demonstrate the real-world effectiveness and safety of first-line maintenance olaparib, complementing findings from the randomised controlled SOLO1 trial in patients with AOC. Future analyses will include longer follow-up treatment patterns, safety, and effectiveness, and pooled analyses from the participating countries.
