Aims: To assess real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) and time to next treatment (rwTTNT) among patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) who received first-line maintenance (1LM) niraparib monotherapy.
Patients & Methods: In this US-nationwide, electronic health record-derived, deidentified database study, eligible patients with EOC initiated 1LM niraparib monotherapy (1 January 2017-1 December 2022) following first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Median rwPFS and rwTTNT were estimated with Kaplan-Meier methodology overall and in a homologous recombination-deficient (HRd) subgroup (further stratified as wild-type [wt] or -mutated [m]).
Introduction: Niraparib was approved for first-line (1L) maintenance (1LM) treatment of patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) following the PRIMA/ENGOT-OV26/GOG-3012 (PRIMA) trial. PRIMA was restricted to patients at higher risk of progression (excluded stage III EOC with no visible residual disease [NVRD] after primary cytoreductive surgery [PCS]). This retrospective study evaluated the potential impact of excluding stage III EOC with NVRD from PRIMA by assessing real-world treatment outcomes following 1LM niraparib monotherapy in this patient population.

Objective: To compare OS in a real-world population of patients with wild-type (wt) recurrent OC who received second-line maintenance (2LM) niraparib monotherapy versus active surveillance (AS).
Design: A retrospective study using a US-based nationwide deidentified electronic health record-derived database.
Purpose: This retrospective real-world study compared overall survival (OS) between patients with BRCA wild-type (BRCAwt) recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (OC) who received niraparib second-line maintenance (2LM) versus active surveillance (AS) using target trial emulation, cloning, inverse probability of censoring weighting (IPCW) methodology to minimize immortal time bias.
Methods: Eligible patients from a United States-based, deidentified, electronic health record-derived database were diagnosed with epithelial OC (January 1, 2011-May 31, 2021), were BRCAwt, and completed second-line (2L) therapy (January 1, 2017-March 2, 2022). Patient data were cloned at index (2L last treatment date), assigned to niraparib 2LM and AS cohorts, and censored when treatment deviated from clone assignment.
Objective: In the phase 2 OVARIO trial (NCT03326193) investigating niraparib-bevacizumab first-line maintenance, median progression-free survival was 14.2 months (95% confidence interval (CI) 8.6 to 16.
