Abstract

Introduction/Background Maintenance therapy, particularly with Poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, is recommended to extend platinum-related benefits in ovarian cancer (OC). Senaparib, a potent and selective PARP inhibitor, was investigated in the FLAMES phase 3 trial to confirm its efficacy and safety as first-line (1L) maintenance therapy for Chinese patients with newly diagnosed advanced OC.

Methodology In this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 404 eligible patients with newly diagnosed FIGO stage III-IV, high-grade serous, or endometrioid OC, who completed 1L platinum-based chemotherapy with complete (CR) or partial response (PR), were randomized (2:1) to receive senaparib or placebo at 100 mg/day orally. Stratification considered CR/PR and BRCA (breast cancer susceptibility gene) mutation status. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) using RECIST v1.1.

Results As of March 16, 2023, 270 patients received senaparib, and 133 received placebo, with a median follow-up duration of 22.3 months. Senaparib significantly improved PFS over placebo (HR 0.43, 95% CI 0.32–0.58, P < 0.0001), regardless of BRCA status (HR 0.43, P < 0.01). Secondary endpoints, supported by subgroup and investigator assessment, consistently reinforced the primary analyses. The most common adverse events (AEs) were anaemia (81%), neutropenia 76%), leukopenia (75%), and thrombocytopenia (70%) in the senaparib arm; and neutropenia (32%), leukopenia (29%), hypertriglyceridaemia (26%), and transaminase increased (26%) in the placebo arm. AEs led to dose reduction and discontinuation were 63.3% vs. 6.0% and 4.4% vs. 0% in senaparib arm and placebo arm, respectively. No MDS and fatal events reported.

Conclusion First-line maintenance Senaparib significantly reduced the risk of progression or death in advanced OC patients, irrespective of BRCA mutation status. Senaparib demonstrated favorable safety profiles, no additional safety signals were identified.
