Article Synopsis
  • The study reports long-term efficacy and safety of niraparib in patients with advanced ovarian cancer after first-line chemotherapy, comparing it to a placebo in a phase 3 trial.
  • With a median follow-up of 3.5 years, patients receiving niraparib showed significantly longer progression-free survival (PFS) compared to those on placebo, particularly in patients with homologous recombination deficiency (HRd).
  • While the treatment was associated with some serious side effects like thrombocytopenia and anemia, the long-term benefits of niraparib in delaying disease progression were evident, suggesting its potential as a strong option for this patient group.

Background: Age and ethnicity are among several factors that influence overall survival (OS) in ovarian cancer. The study objective was to determine whether ethnicity and age were of prognostic significance in women enrolled in a clinical trial evaluating the addition of bevacizumab to front-line therapy.

Methods: Women with advanced stage ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer were enrolled in a phase III clinical trial.

Background: Based primarily on studies concerning early-stage tumours (treated surgically), and locally advanced disease (treated with chemoradiation), the prognosis for women with adenocarcinoma (AC) or adenosquamous (AS) carcinoma has been reported to be poorer than those with squamous cell carcinoma (SCCA) of the cervix. It is unclear whether differences in prognosis also persist in the setting of recurrent or metastatic disease treated using chemotherapy doublets with or without bevacizumab.

Methods: Cases were pooled from three Gynaecologic Oncology Group randomised phase III trials of chemotherapy doublets.
