Abstract

Introduction/Background Primary results from the ANITA (NCT03598270) phase 3 trial in patients with late-relapsing recurrent ovarian cancer showed no progression-free survival (PFS) improvement with the addition of atezolizumab to platinum-based chemotherapy and maintenance niraparib in the intent-to-treat population [González-Martín ESMO 2023]. Subgroup analyses of PFS suggested divergent effects according to BRCA mutation status.

Methodology Patients with measurable high-grade serous, endometrioid or undifferentiated recurrent ovarian cancer, 1–2 prior chemotherapy lines and a platinum-free interval (TFIp) >6 months were randomised 1:1 to a carboplatin doublet plus either atezolizumab (1200 mg every 3 weeks or equivalent) or placebo for 6 cycles, followed (in patients without progression) by maintenance niraparib with continued atezolizumab or placebo until disease progression. Stratification factors were investigator-selected carboplatin doublet, TFIp, BRCA status and PD-L1 status. Efficacy according to BRCA mutation status was a secondary endpoint.

Results BRCA mutations were detected in 63 (15%; germline 10%, somatic 5%) of 417 randomised patients, with some imbalances in baseline characteristics between treatment arms (table 1). Compared with the BRCA-non-mutated population, the BRCA-mutated population included more patients with prior PARP inhibitor (PARPi) exposure and/or TFIp >12 months. In the BRCA-mutated subgroup, median PFS, objective response rate (ORR) and median maintenance PFS numerically favoured atezolizumab-containing therapy, whereas hazard ratios favoured the standard arm.

Conclusion The BRCA-mutated subgroup showed a higher ORR and longer median PFS and maintenance PFS with atezolizumab-containing therapy versus chemotherapy and niraparib alone, but with unfavourable hazard ratios. The small patient numbers in this subgroup limit interpretation and may contribute to the apparent discordance.
