e17101 Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most common gynecological cancer worldwide, and in Mexico stands as the 2nd gynecological cancer-related death cause with 4,759 new cases yearly. PARP inhibitors in BRCA1/2 mutated patients offer disease control after response to chemotherapy with few side effects and minimal impact on quality of life. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical benefit of Olaparib half-dose reduction in multi-treated Mexican OC patients. Methods: Nineteen OC BRCA1/2 positive patients were enrolled (Nov 2016-Dec 2018), at the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología, Mexico. Eligible patients had received > 2 previous platinum-based lines. Olaparib dose was 800 mg/day, as maintenance therapy after complete or partial response. Half-dose administration was allowed in grade 3 toxicity events. Median PFS curves were estimated by the Kaplan–Meier method. Results: The most common mutation in OC patients was BRCA1 (78.9%), four patients had founder mutation (Del9-12). Eleven patients (57.9%) received Olaparib in ≥4 lines. Nine patients required dose adjustment following hematological (42.1%) and gastrointestinal toxicity (5.2%). There was not statistical differences between complete-dose and half-dose administration groups. However patients with founder BRCA1 mutation did not require dose adjustment ( P= 0.033) and multi-treated (≥4 lines) patients were more susceptible to develop hematological toxicity ( P= 0.030). The median PFS was 12.02 months, patients HGSP histology had a better PFS compared with endometroid histology (14.8 Vs 5.19; P= 0.020). BRCA1 founder mutated patients had a better PFS compared with other BRCA mutations (NR Vs 11.30; P= 0.050). The median PFS in first, second and third or more recurrence was NR Vs 14.8 Vs 8.3; P= 0.050. We did not find statistical difference in the PFS in half-dose reduction compared with complete-dose groups (9.6 Vs NR; P= 0.221). Conclusions: We provide evidence that using Olaparib in first and second recurrence had better outcome compared with third or more recurrence. However the recommended dose exhibits a high toxicity profile; therefore half-dose reduction in multi-treated patients needs to be suggested in Olaparib OC guidelines as a safety and effective strategy.
e17097 Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) is the first cause of gynecological cancer, and the fifth cause of women cancer-death in US. In Mexico, more than 4,500 new cases of ovarian cancer are diagnosed yearly and it represents the second cause of gynecological cancer mortality. Bevacizumab (BVZ) is an antiangiogenic antibody that has been approved for first-line and recurrence therapy in OC patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical benefit of BVZ in different lines of treatment in Mexican OC patients. Methods: A total of 94 OC patients treated with BVZ were recruited at the Ovarian Cancer Program of the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología, from February 2012 to September 2018. Clinicopathological characteristics and toxicity was correlated with line of treatment. PFS curves were estimated by the Kaplan–Meier method, while comparisons among groups were analyzed with log-rank or Breslow tests. Results: Most of the patients were stage IIIC (69.1%) with HGSP histology (73.4%). 24 patients (25.5%) received BVZ as first-line treatment before debulking surgery (50% for suboptimal and 45.8% for optimal cytoreduction). 48 patients (51.1%) received BVZ for second-line (72.9% after a platinum-resistant and 27.1% after a platinum-sensitive recurrence) and 22 patients (23.4%) for three or more lines of treatment. Venous thromboembolic events (VTE) were more frequent in multi-treated patients ( P= 0.030). The median PFS was 23.7, 11.7 and 5.8 months for first, second and third or more lines, respectively. Patients with optimal debulking surgery had a better PFS compared with suboptimal and BVZ in first-line patients (24.8 vs 20.9; P= 0.050). Patients with BVZ in second-line who are a platinum-sensitive recurrence had better PFS compared to those with a platinum-resistant disease (15.1 vs 7.6; P= 0.040). Conclusions: OC patients had clinical benefit from treatment with BVZ when used as first-line and first recurrence treatments. The use of BVZ for third or later line treatment has a questionable benefit and is associated with a higher rate of VTE. Also, we highlight that 77% of the patients had the greatest-benefit while 33% had limited-benefit.
