IntroductionDespite improvement in progression-free survival with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) as maintenance therapy for ovarian cancer, many patients will eventually progress on therapy. Oligoprogression is uniquely suited to considerations of local consolidation therapy in this setting, but not commonly used in ovarian cancer. In this study we evaluated the proportion of patients on PARPi maintenance who developed limited sites of disease, the location of progression, and their natural history.MethodsFrom January 2006 to December 2020, natural language processing software (DEEP6AI) was used to identify 58 patients with ovarian cancer treated with PARPi maintenance after complete or partial response after surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy at our institution. Patients were assessed for presence and location of recurrence based on radiologic findings.ResultsThe median patient age was 65 (IQR 57–71) years. Patients had a median of two lines of chemotherapy prior to starting PARPi. With a median follow-up of 48 (range 12–149) months, 32 (55%) patients had a recurrence on maintenance olaparib and 11 (34%) patients developed oligoprogression (≤3 sites). For the 11 patients with oligoprogression, three patients developed recurrence in one site, five in two sites, and three in three sites. The sites of oligoprogression were pelvic/periaortic nodal (27%), peritoneal (27%), liver (27%), lung/mediastinal (14%), and brain (5%). The median progression-free survival for the entire cohort was 6.0 months (95% CI 4.2 to 7.8); median overall survival was not met. There were no significant differences in overall survival (p=0.81) or progression-free survival (p=0.95) between patients with and without oligoprogression.ConclusionsOne-third of patients on PARPi maintenance experienced oligoprogression defined as limited to ≤3 sites. These patients may benefit from local consolidation therapy. A larger dataset is needed to validate these findings to assess if trials investigating local therapy for these patients is of value.
e17526 Background: Adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma of the cervix are subtypes of HPV related cervical cancer. As virally mediated tumors, they have become an obvious choice for immunotherapy treatment approach. Currently, there is little information about the presence of immunological tumor markers among patients with endocervical adenocarcinomas. We hypothesized cervical adenocarcinomas highly express immunotherapy markers. Here we characterize the protein status of immunotherapy markers in a large single institution dataset. Methods: An IRB approved retrospective review of cervical adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma was performed. We gathered original slides for each patient and performed immunohistochemistry (IHC) for tumor markers CD8, PDL1, TIM3 and LAG3. Demographic and pathologic data was captured. Patients were categorized by positivity percentage for each marker. Descriptive statistics and univariate analysis were used. Results: A total of 97 patients met criteria for the study and slides were available for staining in 68 patients. Demographic data showed a median age of 42 years old with majority of patients identifying as White at 66%, followed by Hispanic (13%), Asian (10%), other (7%) and Black (1%). Of the entire cohort, 75% were adenocarcinoma, 25% were adenosquamous carcinoma. Among those with recorded status, 82% were HPV positive, 14% had metastasis, and 13% had recurrence. On univariate analysis, adenocarcinoma was significantly more common in patients who were LAG3 < 1% or PDL < 1% (p = 0.002, p = 0.007). Patients who were LAG3 < 1% or PDL < 1% were also less likely to have Grade 1 tumors (p = 0.006, 0.03). When analyzing by respective immune marker percentage group there were no statistically significant differences in LVSI, depth of invasion, stage, or recurrence rate. By IHC, 68% were PDL1 > 1% positive, 63% were LAG3 > 1% positive, 100% were TIM3 > 1% positive, 100% were CD8 > 1% positive. Seven of the 68 patients had a recurrence. Of those patients with recurrence, one was treated with immunotherapy. Conclusions: A large proportion of cervical adenocarcinomas displayed immunotherapy targets by IHC suggesting that combined immunotherapy agents may be useful in this population. Further study is needed to assess whether IHC is predictive of outcome or response.[Table: see text]
