Abstract
Introduction The aim of NIRVANA-R trial is to investigate the efficacy of niraparib in combination with bevacizumab as a maintenance therapy in platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer patients who were previously treated with a PARPi. Here, we report the results from first stage of NIRVANA-R.
Methods This study included patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer who received at least 2 previous courses of platinum- containing therapy and had been treated with a PARPi. Patients who had responded to the last platinum regimen were eligible to participate in this study. Forty-four patients will be recruited. All enrolled patients are treated with niraparib and bevacizumab for maintenance therapy until disease progression. The primary endpoint of the study is 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate. A Simon 2-stage design was utilized. Target accrual was 22 patients in the first stage; ≥10 patients with progressive disease within 6 months was required to proceed to second stage.
Results Thirty three of 44 planned patients have been enrolled. Median age was ( ) years old, high grade serous ( ). Median prior lines of therapy ( ); prior bevacizumab ( ). Of the 22 patients from 1st stage, 8 had progressived disease within 6 months. The efficacy boundary to proceed to 2nd stage was met. Data will be updated at the late breaking abstract deadline.
Conclusion/Implications Our findings indicate encouraging safety and activity of niraparib + bevacizumab as a maintenance therapy in platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer patients who were previously treated with a PARPi. Complete interim analysis results will be reported.
