Patient Characteristics Associated with Time to Next Treatment in Patients with Ovarian Cancer Treated with Niraparib: The PRED1CT Real-World Study. | LitMetric
Introduction: Niraparib first-line maintenance (1LM) therapy has demonstrated clinical benefit for patients with ovarian cancer (OC) in clinical trial and real-world settings, but data on factors associated with real-world patient outcomes remain limited. This analysis identified patient characteristics associated with time to next treatment (TTNT), a proxy for real-world progression-free survival, in patients with OC treated with 1LM niraparib monotherapy.
Methods: This retrospective observational study used a USA nationwide electronic health record-derived deidentified database and included adult patients diagnosed with OC who initiated 1LM niraparib monotherapy after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients were followed until the earliest occurrence of last clinical activity, death, or end of study period. TTNT was measured from 1LM niraparib initiation to the start of second-line treatment or death. Cox proportional hazards models assessed univariable and multivariable associations between baseline characteristics and TTNT.
Results: Of 7872 patients diagnosed with OC, 526 met the eligibility criteria and were included in this analysis. Median (IQR) duration of follow-up was 14.1 (7.4-23.6) months. In univariable analyses, age, BRCA/homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) status, socioeconomic status, stage at initial diagnosis, cytoreductive surgery type, and residual disease status were significantly associated with observed TTNT and were introduced into the multivariable model with other clinically relevant variables. In the multivariable analysis, BRCA/HRD status, cytoreductive surgery type, and residual disease status were significantly associated with observed TTNT after covariate adjustment. Conversely, age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, disease stage, niraparib starting dose status, and first-line bevacizumab use were not associated with observed TTNT.
Conclusion: This real-world, retrospective, observational analysis offers valuable insights on prognostic factors associated with TTNT in patients with OC treated with 1LM niraparib monotherapy after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Future studies are needed to examine how additional patient characteristics associated with clinical outcomes may guide treatment decisions and improve outcomes.

Introduction: Clinical trials have demonstrated prolonged survival associated with niraparib first-line maintenance (1LM) therapy, compared with placebo, for patients with ovarian cancer (OC). However, data are limited on real-world 1LM niraparib monotherapy use, particularly as switch 1LM, following first-line (1L) combination chemotherapy plus bevacizumab. This real-world study aimed to describe patient demographics, clinical characteristics, and clinical outcomes of patients with OC receiving 1LM niraparib monotherapy following 1L combination chemotherapy plus bevacizumab.
Poly(adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) are metabolized either via carboxylesterase (niraparib) or cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes (olaparib and rucaparib). Patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (aOC) who receive concomitant medication metabolized by the CYP system may be at risk of drug-drug interactions impacting PARPi efficacy and tolerability. This study investigated CYP inhibitor/inducer treatment patterns in the first-line maintenance (1Lm) setting for patients with aOC.
