Abstract
Introduction/Background Olaparib maintenance improved outcomes in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) and a BRCAm (DiSilvestro JCO 2023), or with bevacizumab in patients with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD+) tumours (Ray-Coquard ESMO 2022) in response to first-line treatment; however, an unmet need remains.
Methodology In the randomised Phase III DUO-O trial (NCT03737643), patients had newly diagnosed high-grade epithelial non-tumour (t) BRCAm AOC; primary, or planned interval, debulking surgery; and one cycle of paclitaxel/carboplatin +/– bevacizumab. At Cycle 2, patients were randomised 1:1:1 to Arm 1: paclitaxel/carboplatin + bevacizumab + placebo (up to six cycles) then maintenance bevacizumab (total 15 months) + placebos (total 24 months); Arm 2: paclitaxel/carboplatin + bevacizumab + durvalumab then maintenance bevacizumab + durvalumab + placebo; or Arm 3: paclitaxel/carboplatin + bevacizumab + durvalumab then maintenance bevacizumab + durvalumab + olaparib. Progression free survival (PFS) in Arm 3 versus Arm 1 (primary endpoint) was tested in the non-tBRCAm HRD+ then the intent-to-treat (ITT) populations.
Results At a prespecified interim analysis, Arm 3 demonstrated a statistically significant PFS improvement versus Arm 1: HR 0.49 (95% CI 0.34–0.69; P<0.0001) and HR 0.63 (95% CI 0.52–0.76; P<0.0001) in the HRD+ and ITT populations, respectively; a PFS effect was observed in the HRD– subgroup (HR 0.68 [95% CI 0.54–0.86]). A numerical, but not statistically significant, PFS improvement was shown for Arm 2 versus Arm 1 (ITT population) (table 1). During the study, any serious AEs were reported in 34%, 43% and 39% of patients in Arms 1, 2 and 3, respectively.
Conclusion Paclitaxel/carboplatin + bevacizumab + durvalumab followed by maintenance bevacizumab + durvalumab + olaparib in patients with newly diagnosed non-tBRCAm AOC demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS versus paclitaxel/carboplatin + bevacizumab followed by maintenance bevacizumab. Safety was generally consistent with the known profiles of each agent.
