Background: In PAOLA-1/ENGOT-ov25, the addition of olaparib to bevacizumab maintenance improved overall survival in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer. We describe the safety profile and quality of life (QoL) of this combination in older patients in PAOLA-1.

Methods: Safety (CTCAE v4.

Article Synopsis
  • The study highlights the development of a new biomarker for Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD), aimed at improving patient selection for poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor treatments, as validated by past clinical trials.
  • The new test, analyzed using data from the PAOLA-1 trial, shows promising results that surpass the Myriad myChoice Genomic Instability Score (GIS) regarding progression-free survival in treated patients.
  • The findings suggest that this new test could be more effective and reliable in clinical settings, potentially benefiting more patients by providing clearer laboratory results.

The Gynecologic Cancer InterGroup (GCIG) sixth Ovarian Cancer Conference on Clinical Research was held virtually in October, 2021, following published consensus guidelines. The goal of the consensus meeting was to achieve harmonisation on the design elements of upcoming trials in ovarian cancer, to select important questions for future study, and to identify unmet needs. All 33 GCIG member groups participated in the development, refinement, and adoption of 20 statements within four topic groups on clinical research in ovarian cancer including first line treatment, recurrent disease, disease subgroups, and future trials.

Article Synopsis
  • The PAOLA-1 trial studied the effects of adding maintenance olaparib to bevacizumab for patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer, highlighting significant benefits in progression-free survival (PFS).
  • This specific analysis focused on a subset of 24 Japanese patients who were randomly assigned to receive either olaparib plus bevacizumab or a placebo, showing median PFS of 27.4 months versus 19.4 months, respectively.
  • The findings in the Japanese subset align with the overall PAOLA-1 trial results, confirming that the combination treatment enhances PFS in this patient population.

Surgery (+ radiation therapy in selected cases) is standard treatment for adult-type localized soft tissue sarcoma (STS). Accumulating randomized clinical evidence also supports adjuvant chemotherapy as a treatment option, although this remains contentious. Doxorubicin (± ifosfamide) is the standard first-line systemic treatment for advanced STS; however, newer chemotherapeutic agents may improve outcomes achieved with single-agent doxorubicin.
