Abstract

Background

Niraparib has shown progression-free survival (PFS) benefit in recurrent OC after platinum-based chemotherapy (CT) in all patients (pts) regardless of BRCA status. This study evaluated the efficacy of niraparib in pts with newly diagnosed advanced OC after completion of first-line (1L) CT regardless of BRCA status.

Methods

This double-blind, placebo (PBO)-controlled phase III trial evaluated niraparib in pts with newly diagnosed advanced high-grade serous or endometrioid ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer with a complete or partial response (CR or PR) to 1L platinum-based CT. Stratification factors were best response to the 1L CT regimen (CR/PR), receipt of neoadjuvant CT (NACT; yes/no), and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) status (positive/negative/unknown) per the Myriad myChoice HRD test. Pts received niraparib or PBO once daily. PFS assessed by blinded independent central review was the primary end point, analyzed using a stratified Cox proportional hazards model and hierarchically tested in HRD-positive (HRDpos) pts and then the overall population.

Results

Of 733 randomized pts (niraparib, 487; PBO, 246), 373 (51%) were HRDpos (niraparib, 247; PBO, 126). Overall, 35% had stage IV disease, 67% received NACT, and 31% had a PR to 1L CT. Niraparib-treated pts in the HRDpos subgroup and overall population had a significant reduction in the risk of disease recurrence or death with a substantial improvement in PFS (Table). All subgroups showed a sustained and durable treatment effect. The most common grade ≥3 adverse events were anemia (31%), thrombocytopenia (29%), and neutropenia (13%). No treatment-related deaths occurred.

Conclusions

Niraparib significantly improved PFS in pts with newly diagnosed advanced OC, including pts at high risk of progressive disease in the HRDpos subgroup and overall population. No new safety signals were identified. Niraparib should be considered as a treatment option for pts with advanced OC after completion of 1L CT.
