Abstract:

Background: OVA-301 was an open-label, multicenter, randomized phase III study comparing Tr+ PLD to PLD alone in 672 pts with ROC. The combination significantly improved PFS and RR, with a trend toward longer OS and manageable noncumulative toxicity (Monk, Ann Oncol 2008, Abs. LBA4). Protracted tolerability of Tr 1.1 mg/m2 and PLD 30 mg/m2, 3h-q3weeks vs. PLD 50 mg/m2 1.5h- q4weeks in pts receiving ≥6 cycles was analyzed. Methods: Safety evaluated in 320 (of 663 treated) pts receiving ≥ 6 cycles by adverse events (AEs), laboratory data and physical findings (NCI CTC Version 3.0).

Results: Baseline characteristics were balanced: median age 56 years (26-87); ECOG 0: 68%; median platinum-free interval: 9.2 months; prior taxanes: 78%; papillary/serous histology: 72%.

Conclusions: This novel nonplatinum, nontaxane combination is an efficacious regimen in pts with ROC with reasonable long-term tolerability in pts that received ≥ 6 cycles. Hematological toxicity and transaminase elevations were more common in the combination arm, yet transient, and not cumulative; and less frequent than at <6 cycles. HFS, mucosal inflammation, and stomatitis were more common with PLD. Discontinuation rates due to AEs were low. Updated data will be presented.

1 Neutropenia more common at cycle <6 for both arms. 2 No hepatic failures. 3 In contrast to cycle <6: ALT, 95%; AST, 92%. 4 Only occurred in cycle 1-2. 5 Disease progression is most common reason for both arms.
One drug-related death with Tr+PLD: acute myeloid leukemia.
