Testing Olaparib with or without Bevacizumab for Ovarian Cancer Treatment

A Phase III Trial of One vs. Two Years of Maintenance Olaparib, With or Without Bevacizumab, in Patients With BRCA1/2 Mutated or Homologous Recombination Deficient (HRD+) Ovarian Cancer Following Response to First Line Platinum-Based Chemotherapy

Phase 3 Interventional NRG Oncology · NCT06580314

This study is testing if a new cancer treatment called olaparib, alone or with another drug called bevacizumab, can help women with advanced ovarian cancer live longer without their cancer getting worse.

What this trial studies

This phase III trial evaluates the effectiveness of olaparib, a PARP inhibitor, administered for one or two years, with or without the antiangiogenic agent bevacizumab, in patients with BRCA 1/2 mutated or homologous recombination deficient stage III or IV ovarian cancer. The primary objective is to assess progression-free survival using RECIST criteria, while secondary objectives include evaluating overall survival and toxicity rates. Patients will be randomized into two arms to compare the outcomes of different treatment durations and combinations. The study also aims to explore genetic factors that may influence treatment response.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include patients with newly diagnosed stage III or IV ovarian cancer who have BRCA1/2 mutations or homologous recombination deficiency.

Not a fit: Patients with ovarian cancer who do not have BRCA1/2 mutations or homologous recombination deficiency may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a more effective treatment regimen for patients with advanced ovarian cancer, potentially improving survival rates.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with PARP inhibitors in similar patient populations, indicating a potential for success in this approach.

* Patients must have completed first line platinum-based therapy prior to registration:

  * Platinum based chemotherapy course must have consisted of a minimum of 4 treatment cycles and a maximum of 9, although it is strongly recommended that patients receive at least 6 cycles unless medically contraindicated

    * For those receiving less than 6 cycles of platinum-based therapy, the reason for this must be documented and could include hematologic toxicity or non-hematologic toxicities directly related to therapy
  * Intravenous, intraperitoneal, or neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy is allowed; for weekly therapy, three weeks are considered one cycle

* Patients must have, in the opinion of the investigator, no clinical evidence of disease progression following completion of this chemotherapy course (partial or complete response to platinum-based chemotherapy)
* Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible if follow up brain imaging after central nervous system (CNS) directed therapy shows no evidence of progression following completion of this chemotherapy course (partial or complete response to platinum-based chemotherapy)
* Patients must be randomized at least 3 weeks and no more than 12 weeks after their last dose of chemotherapy (last dose is the day of the last infusion of platinum agent)

To be eligible for this trial, patients should be class 2B or better
