Prospective study of serum and aqueous humour anti-Hsp70.1 IgG antibody levels in ocular toxoplasmosis. Parasite Immunol 2020; 42:e12771. [PMID: 32602946 DOI: 10.1111/pim.12771] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2020] [Revised: 06/03/2020] [Accepted: 06/05/2020] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
AIMS We evaluate whether the serum and aqueous humour (AH) level of IgG anti-Hsp70.1 antibodies improved the biological diagnosis of ocular toxoplasmosis. METHODS AND RESULTS In this prospective cross-sectional and multicentre study, serum and AH were collected at the time of active uveitis. Anti-Hsp70.1-antibody levels were determined by ELISA. Patients with confirmed (Group A1, n = 21) or suspected ocular toxoplasmosis (group A2, n = 30) were enrolled, as well as a control group of patients with cataract (group B, n = 42). Serum IgG anti-Hsp70.1 antibody levels were not significantly different within the group of uveitis patients (A1, n = 21 vs A2, n = 30, P = .8) and were significantly associated with the affected retinal zone (P = .006) and with the size of the retinal lesion (P = .03). Serum anti-Hsp70.1 antibody level was positive in 10 out of the 18 patients of group A2. Significant anti-Hsp-70.1 antibody level in AH was reported in only three patients (3 eyes) with confirmed ocular toxoplasmosis. CONCLUSION While the level of IgG anti-Hsp-70.1 antibody in AH did not improve the laboratory diagnosis of ocular toxoplasmosis, its level in serum was of major significance for retinal damage diagnosis.

Final results from GCIG/ENGOT/AGO-OVAR 12, a randomised placebo-controlled phase III trial of nintedanib combined with chemotherapy for newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer. Int J Cancer 2019; 146:439-448. [PMID: 31381147 DOI: 10.1002/ijc.32606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2019] [Revised: 06/10/2019] [Accepted: 06/24/2019] [Indexed: 01/29/2023]
Abstract
AGO-OVAR 12 investigated the effect of adding the oral triple angiokinase inhibitor nintedanib to standard front-line chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer. At the primary analysis, nintedanib demonstrated significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS; primary endpoint) compared with placebo. We report final results, including overall survival (OS). Patients with primary debulked International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IIB-IV newly diagnosed ovarian cancer were randomised 2:1 to receive carboplatin (area under the curve 5 or 6) plus paclitaxel (175 mg/m2 ) on day 1 every 3 weeks for six cycles combined with either nintedanib 200 mg or placebo twice daily on days 2-21 every 3 weeks for up to 120 weeks. Between December 2009 and July 2011, 1,366 patients were randomised (911 to nintedanib, 455 to placebo). Disease was considered as high risk (FIGO stage III with >1 cm residuum, or any stage IV) in 39%. At the final analysis, 605 patients (44%) had died. There was no difference in OS (hazard ratio 0.99, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.83-1.17, p = 0.86; median 62.0 months with nintedanib vs. 62.8 months with placebo). Subgroup analyses according to stratification factors, clinical characteristics and risk status showed no OS difference between treatments. The previously reported PFS improvement seen with nintedanib did not translate into an OS benefit in the nonhigh-risk subgroup. Updated PFS results were consistent with the primary analysis (hazard ratio 0.86, 95% CI 0.75-0.98; p = 0.029) favouring nintedanib. The safety profile was consistent with previous reports.

Abstract
PURPOSE In the ENGOT-OV16/NOVA trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01847274), maintenance therapy with niraparib, a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor, prolonged progression-free survival in patients with platinum-sensitive, recurrent ovarian cancer who had a response to their last platinum-based chemotherapy. The objective of the study was to assess the clinical benefit and patient-reported outcomes in patients who had a partial response (PR) and complete response (CR) to their last platinum-based therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 553 patients were enrolled in the trial. Of 203 patients with a germline BRCA mutation (gBRCAmut), 99 had a PR and 104 had a CR to their last platinum-based therapy; of 350 patients without a confirmed gBRCAmut (non–gBRCAmut), 173 had a PR and 177 had a CR. Post hoc analyses were carried out to evaluate safety and the risk of progression in these patients according to gBRCAmut status and response to their last platinum-based therapy. Ovarian cancer–specific symptoms and quality of life were assessed using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–Ovarian Symptom Index. RESULTS Progression-free survival was improved in patients treated with niraparib compared with placebo in both the gBRCAmut cohort (PR: hazard ratio [HR], 0.24; 95% CI, 0.131 to 0.441; P < .0001; CR: HR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.160 to 0.546; P < .0001) and the non–gBRCAmut cohort (PR: HR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.230 to 0.532; P < .0001; CR: HR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.383 to 0.868; P = .0082). The incidence of any-grade and grade 3 or greater adverse events was manageable. No meaningful differences were observed between niraparib and placebo in PR and CR subgroups with respect to patient-reported outcomes. CONCLUSION Patients achieved clinical benefit from maintenance treatment with niraparib regardless of response to the last platinum-based therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few data are available on long-term fatigue (LTF) and quality of life (QoL) among epithelial ovarian cancer survivors (EOCS). In this case-control study, we compared LTF, symptoms and several QoL domains in EOCS relapse-free ≥3 years after first-line treatment and age-matched healthy women. PATIENTS AND METHODS EOCS were recruited from 25 cooperative GINECO centers in France. Controls were randomly selected from the electoral rolls. All participants completed validated self-reported questionnaires: fatigue (FACIT-F), QoL (FACT-G/O), neurotoxicity (FACT-Ntx), anxiety/depression (HADS), sleep disturbance (ISI), and physical activity (IPAQ). Severe LTF (SLTF) was defined as a FACIT-F score <37/52. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were conducted to analyze SLTF and its influencing factors in EOCS. RESULTS A total of 318 EOCS and 318 controls were included. EOCS were 63-year-old on average, with FIGO stage I/II (50%), III/IV (48%); 99% had received platinum and taxane chemotherapy, with an average 6-year follow-up. There were no differences between the two groups in socio-demographic characteristics and global QoL. EOCS had poorer FACIT-F scores (40 versus 45, P < 0.0001), lower functional well-being scores (18 versus 20, P = 0.0002), poorer FACT-O scores (31 versus 34 P < 0.0001), and poorer FACT-Ntx scores (35 versus 39, P < 0.0001). They also reported more SLTF (26% versus 13%, P = 0.0004), poorer sleep quality (63% versus 47%, P = 0.0003), and more depression (22% versus 13%, P = 0.01). Fewer than 20% of EOCS and controls exercised regularly. In multivariate analyses, EOCS with high levels of depression, neurotoxicity, and sleep disturbance had an increased risk of developing SLTF (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Compared with controls, EOCS presented similar QoL but persistent LTF, EOC-related symptoms, neurotoxicity, depression, and sleep disturbance. Depression, neuropathy, and sleep disturbance are the main conditions associated with severe LTF.

Abstract
Importance There is an unmet medical need for the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer, and new approaches are needed to improve progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival. Objective This phase 1/2 study evaluated the activity of alisertib in combination with weekly paclitaxel in patients with breast (phase 1) and ovarian cancer (phase 1 and phase 2). Design, Setting, and Participants An open-label phase 1 and randomized phase 2 clinical trial conducted from April 16, 2010, for phase 1 and March 28, 2012, to August 12, 2013, for phase 2 was conducted at 33 sites (United States, France, and Poland). Data are reported from a cutoff date of August 12, 2014, with a median duration of follow-up of 7.2 months in the alisertib plus paclitaxel arm and 4.6 months in the paclitaxel arm. A total of 191 women with advanced breast (phase 1 only) or recurrent ovarian cancer were enrolled, including 142 patients randomized to alisertib plus paclitaxel (n = 73) or paclitaxel alone (n = 69) in the phase 2 study. Interventions Patients were randomized 1:1 stratified by platinum-free interval (refractory, 0-6 months, 6-12 months) and prior weekly taxane treatment (yes, no) to receive alisertib 40 mg twice per day orally and 3 days on and 4 days off for 3 weeks, plus paclitaxel (60 mg/m2 intravenously, days 1, 8, and 15), or weekly paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 intravenously in 28-day cycles. Main Outcomes and Measures Primary endpoint was PFS; primary efficacy analysis and safety analysis used modified intention to treat (mITT) population (all randomized patients who received ≥1 dose of study drug). Results The median age for the 191 patients enrolled in phase 1 was 59 (range, 29-75) years. The median age for the 142 patients enrolled in phase 2 was 63 (range, 30-81) years for patients receiving alisertib plus paclitaxel and 61 (range, 41-81) years for patients receiving paclitaxel. At data cutoff, 107 (75%) patients had a documented PFS event; 52 (71%) in the alisertib plus paclitaxel arm, and 55 (80%) in the paclitaxel arm. Median PFS was 6.7 months with alisertib plus paclitaxel vs 4.7 months with paclitaxel (HR, 0.75; 80% CI, 0.58-0.96; P = .14; 2-sided P value cutoff = .20 to be considered worthy of further investigation). Drug-related grade 3 or higher adverse events were reported in 63 (86%) vs 14 (20%) patients in the alisertib plus paclitaxel and paclitaxel arms, including 56 (77%) vs 7 (10%) neutropenia, 18 (25%) vs 0 stomatitis, and 10 (14%) vs 2 (3%) anemia; 54 (74%) vs 17 (25%) had adverse events leading to dose reductions. Two patients died during the study (1 in each arm); neither death was considered related to study drug. Conclusions and Relevance The primary endpoint, PFS, significantly favored alisertib plus paclitaxel over paclitaxel alone. Further investigation is warranted. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01091428.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Onapristone is a type I progesterone receptor (PR) antagonist, which prevents PR- mediated DNA transcription. Onapristone is active in multiple preclinical models and two prior studies demonstrated promising activity in patients with breast cancer. We conducted a study of extended release (ER) Onapristone to determine a recommended dose and explore the role of transcriptionally-activated PR (APR), detected as an aggregated subnuclear distribution pattern, as a predictive biomarker. METHODS An open-label, multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, phase 1 study (target n = 60; NCT02052128) included female patients ≥18 years with PRpos tumors. APR analysis was performed on archival tumor tissue. Patients were randomized to five cohorts of extended release (ER) onapristone tablets 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 mg BID, or immediate release 100 mg QD until progressive disease or intolerability. Primary endpoint was to identify the recommended phase 2 dose. Secondary endpoints included safety, clinical benefit and pharmacokinetics. RESULTS The phase 1 dose escalation component of the study is complete (n = 52). Tumor diagnosis included: endometrial carcinoma 12; breast cancer 20; ovarian cancer 13; other 7. Median age was 64 (36-84). No dose limiting toxicity was observed with reported liver function test elevation related only to liver metastases. The RP2D was 50 mg ER BID. Median therapy duration was 8 weeks (range 2-44), and 9 patients had clinical benefit ≥24 weeks, including 2 patients with APRpos endometrial carcinoma. CONCLUSION Clinical benefit with excellent tolerance was seen in heavily pretreated patients with endometrial, ovarian and breast cancer. The data support the development of Onapristone in endometrial endometrioid cancer. Onapristone should also be evaluated in ovarian and breast cancers along with APR immunohistochemistry validation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The primary aim of this trial was to determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of weekly paclitaxel (wP) administered in combination with oral metronomic cyclophosphamide (OMC). METHODS Patients ≥ 18 years of age with refractory metastatic cancers were eligible if no standard curative measures existed. Paclitaxel was administered IV weekly (D1, D8, D15; D1 = D28) in combination with a fixed dose of OMC (50 mg twice a day). A 3 + 3 design was used for dose escalation of wP (40 to 75 mg/m2) followed by an expansion cohort at RP2D. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined over the first 28-day cycle as grade ≥ 3 non-hematological or grade 4 hematological toxicity (NCI-CTCAE v4.0) or any toxicity leading to a dose reduction. RESULTS In total, 28 pts. (18 in dose-escalation phase and 10 in expansion cohort) were included, and 16/18 pts. enrolled in the dose-escalation phase were evaluable for DLT. DLT occurred in 0/3, 1/6 (neuropathy), 0/3 and 2/4 pts. (hematological toxicity) at doses of 40, 60, 70 and 75 mg/m2 of wP, respectively. The RP2D of wP was 70 mg/m2; 1/10 patients in the expansion phase had a hematological DLT. At RP2D (n = 14), the maximal grade of drug-related adverse event was Gr1 in three patients, Gr2 in six patients, Gr3 in one patient and Gr4 in one patient (no AE in three patients). At RP2D, a partial response was observed in one patient with lung adenocarcinoma. CONCLUSION The combination of OMC and wP resulted in an acceptable safety profile, warranting further clinical evaluation. TRIAL REGISTRATION TRN: NCT01374620 ; date of registration: 16 June 2011.

Abstract
e14015 Background: OMC, as continuous administration of low doses of chemotherapy acts as direct cytotoxic as well as antiangiogenetic agent. wP also induces antiangiogenic effects in mouse models. The aims of this trial were to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of wP given in combination with OMC, and estimate activity and safety of the combination. Methods: Methods This is a single-center, phase 1 trial. Patients (pts) > 18 years with refractory metastatic cancers were eligible if no standard curative measures existed. Paclitaxel was administered IV weekly (D1, D8, D15; D1 = D28) in combination with a fixed dose of OMC (50mg x2/day). A 3+3 design was used for Dose-Escalation of wP (40 mg/m² to 75 mg/m²), followed by an expansion cohort at RP2D. The primary endpoint was the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), defined as grade > 3 non-hematological or grade 4 hematological toxicity (NCI-CTCAE v4.0) occurring in the first 28 days, or any toxicity leading to a dose reduction. Results: 28 pts (18 in dose-escalation phase and 10 in expansion cohort) were included between May 2011 and December 2013. The sex ratio was 2:1, the median age was 54.5 (range, 26-67); the most common primary tumors were colorectal cancers (n = 9), sarcomas (n = 4), Head & Neck (n = 3). 16/18 pts enrolled in the dose-escalation phase were evaluable for DLT. DLT occurred in 0/3, 1/6 (neuropathy), 0/3 and 2/4 pts (hematological toxicity) at dose 40, 60, 70 and 75 mg/m² of wP, respectively. The RP2D of wP was 70 mg/m2; 1/10 pts in the expansion phase had an hematological DLT. At RP2D (n = 14), the maximal grade of adverse events (AE), regardless of causality, was Gr2 in 3 pts, Gr3 in 7 pts, Gr4 in 3 pts and Gr5 in 1 pt; the maximal grade of treatment-related AE was Gr1 in 1 pt, Gr2 in 8 pts, Gr3 in 3 pts and Gr4 in 1 pt (no AE in 1 pt). At RP2D, the median PFS was 2.8 mo and Growth Modulation index was ≥1.33 in 4/14 pts (29%). There was 1 objective response (1/14; 7%): 1 pt with lung adenocarcinoma achieved a partial response. Conclusions: The combination of OMC and wP resulted in an acceptable safety profile. Further evaluation of this combination with wP at 70mg/m² could be warranted in a phase 2 trial. Clinical trial information: NCT01374620.

Abstract
5517 Background: Therapeutic paradigms for recurrent OC vary by geography. Maintenance following response to platinum-based chemotherapy (Plat) is standard in Europe, whereas in the US maintenance is considered following complete response (CR) vs treatment for partial response (PR). Niraparib is a highly selective PARP 1/2 inhibitor (PARPi). In preclinical studies it concentrates in the tumor relative to plasma, delivering > 90% durable PARP inhibition and antitumor effects. Niraparib demonstrated significantly longer PFS vs placebo (P) in pts with recurrent OC following a CR or PR to Plat in the randomized, controlled, double-blind phase 3 ENGOT-OV16/NOVA trial. Methods: Pts with recurrent OC, no prior PARPi use, ≥2 prior courses of Plat, and response to most recent Plat were eligible. Pts were assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts on the basis of g BRCA testing (g BRCAmut or non-g BRCAmut) and randomized 2:1 within each cohort to niraparib 300 mg or P qd until progressive disease (PD). Randomization occurred up to 8 weeks after last dose of the most recent Plat. Pts were stratified by time to progression after penultimate Plat (6 to < 12 months or ≥12 months), prior use of bevacizumab (yes/no), and response to most recent Plat (CR or PR). PFS was measured from time of randomization to death or earliest PD as assessed by independent review committee. Results: 49% of pts (niraparib: 67/138; P: 32/65) in the g BRCAmut and ~49% of pts (niraparib: 117/234 [50%]; P: 56/116 [48%]) in the non-g BRCAmut cohorts entered NOVA with a PR following their most recent Plat. At time of unblinding, 30 (45%) niraparib and 23 (72%) P pts in the g BRCAmut and 65 (56%) niraparib and 45 (80%) P pts in the non-g BRCAmut cohorts had PFS events. PFS hazard ratios (95% CI) were 0.24 (0.131–0.441) in g BRCAmut and 0.35 (0.230–0.532) in non-g BRCAmut cohorts for pts who had a PR to their most recent platinum regimen. This compared favorably to the overall NOVA study results, where PFS hazard ratios (95% CI) were 0.27 (0.173–0.410) in g BRCAmut and 0.45 (0.338–0.607) in non-g BRCAmut cohorts. Conclusions: Niraparib treatment provided significant benefit to pts with recurrent OC who achieved a PR following Plat. Clinical trial information: NCT01847274.

Efficacy and safety of bevacizumab-containing neoadjuvant therapy followed by interval debulking surgery in advanced ovarian cancer: Results from the ANTHALYA trial. Eur J Cancer 2016; 70:133-142. [PMID: 27914243 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejca.2016.09.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 68] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2016] [Revised: 09/01/2016] [Accepted: 09/26/2016] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
AIM To investigate whether adding bevacizumab to neoadjuvant carboplatin-paclitaxel (CP) helps achieve optimal debulking, measured by complete resection rate (CRR) at interval debulking surgery (IDS), in patients with initially unresectable International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IIIC/IV ovarian, tubal or peritoneal adenocarcinoma. METHODS Multicentre, open-label, non-comparative phase II study. Ninety-five patients randomised (2:1) to receive four cycles of neoadjuvant CP ±3 concomitant cycles of bevacizumab 15 mg/kg (BCP) followed by IDS. Primary objective is to evaluate the CRR at IDS in the BCP group (reference CRR rate defined as 45% CRR). A stopping rule based on bevacizumab-related adverse events (AEs) of special interest was implemented. RESULTS In the BCP group (N = 58), IDS was performed in 40 (69%) patients, of whom 85% had a complete resection. The CRR of this group was therefore 58.6% (34 patients), statistically over pre-defined 45%. The CRR in the CP group was 51.4%: 22 (60%) patients underwent IDS (85% had a complete resection). Grade ≥3 adverse events occurred in 62% of the BCP-treated patients and 63% of the CP-treated patients: mainly blood and lymphatic, gastrointestinal and vascular disorders, without more toxicity with BCP. Postoperative complications (mainly wound, infectious and gastrointestinal complications) occurred in 28% and 36% of the patients, respectively. The pre-specified safety stopping rule was not reached. CONCLUSION The primary objective was met as the CRR with BCP was significantly higher than the reference rate. Bevacizumab may be safely added to a preoperative program in patients deemed non-optimally resectable, whatever the final surgical decision. Bevacizumab's role in this setting should be further investigated.

Single-port or Classic Laparoscopy Compared With Laparotomy to Assess the Peritoneal Cancer Index in Primary Advanced Epithelial Ovarian Cancer. J Minim Invasive Gynecol 2016; 23:825-32. [PMID: 27068278 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmig.2016.03.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2016] [Revised: 03/31/2016] [Accepted: 03/31/2016] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
A thorough laparoscopic assessment of the abdominopelvic cavity is a crucial step in the workup of primary advanced epithelial ovarian cancer to decide whether up-front cytoreductive surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy is the best option for adequate management. The purpose of our study was to compare single-port laparoscopy (SPL), classic laparoscopy (CL), and laparotomy using the peritoneal cancer index (PCI). Patients treated for Fédération Internationale de Gynécologie et d'Obstétrique stage 3 or 4 epithelial ovarian cancer were included in our study when they underwent a PCI evaluation by laparoscopy followed by laparotomy for cytoreduction. According to the technique used for the "noninvasive" procedure (SPL vs CL), 2 groups were compared retrospectively. The individual records of all patients were reviewed and analyzed. From 2011 to 2014, 21 patients were assessed for PCI by SPL plus laparotomy versus 21 by CL plus laparotomy. The clinicopathological features were similar in both groups (not significant [NS]), except for performance status >0, which was more frequent in the SPL group (39% vs 6%, p = .04). Quotation of PCI was possible for all patients. Nonbrowsing areas marked 3 procedures in the SPL group and 2 procedures in the CL group (NS). The mean PCI score and the score of each region assessed by SPL and CL were comparable with the evaluation by laparotomy (NS). Completeness of cytoreduction was achieved in 78% of cases in both groups (NS). SPL and widely mini-invasive procedures seem to be effective tools compared with laparotomy to adequately assess the resectability of a peritoneal carcinomatosis using the PCI.

Abstract
PURPOSE Volasertib is a potent and selective cell-cycle kinase inhibitor that induces mitotic arrest and apoptosis by targeting Polo-like kinase. This phase II trial evaluated volasertib or single-agent chemotherapy in patients with platinum-resistant or -refractory ovarian cancer who experienced failure after treatment with two or three therapy lines. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients were randomly assigned to receive either volasertib 300 mg by intravenous infusion every 3 weeks or an investigator's choice of single-agent, nonplatinum, cytotoxic chemotherapy. The primary end point was 24-week disease control rate. Secondary end points included best overall response, progression-free survival (PFS), safety, quality of life, and exploratory biomarker analyses. RESULTS Of the 109 patients receiving treatment, 54 received volasertib and 55 received chemotherapy; demographics were well balanced. The 24-week disease control rates for volasertib and chemotherapy were 30.6% (95% CI, 18.0% to 43.2%) and 43.1% (95% CI, 29.6% to 56.7%), respectively, with partial responses in seven (13.0%) and eight (14.5%) patients, respectively. Median PFS was 13.1 weeks and 20.6 weeks for volasertib and chemotherapy (hazard ratio, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.66 to 1.53). Six patients (11%) receiving volasertib achieved PFS fore more than 1 year, whereas no patient receiving chemotherapy achieved PFS greater than 1 year. No relationship between the expression of the biomarkers tested and their response was determined. Patients treated with volasertib experienced more grade 3 and 4 drug-related hematologic adverse events (AEs) and fewer nonhematologic AEs than did patients receiving chemotherapy. Discontinuation resulting from AEs occurred in seven (13.0%) and 15 (27.3%) patients in the volasertib and chemotherapy arms, respectively. Both arms showed similar effects on quality of life. CONCLUSION Single-agent volasertib showed antitumor activity in patients with ovarian cancer. AEs in patients receiving volasertib were mainly hematologic and manageable.

Abstract
AIM To report a single-institution experience using postoperative pelvic Intensity Modulation Radiation Therapy (IMRT) using tomotherapy accelerators (TA) in postoperative endometrial cancer (EC) regarding ICRU 83 recommendations. BACKGROUND IMRT in gynecological malignancies provides excellent dosimetric data, lower rates of adverse events and clinical data similar to historical series. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventy-six patients with EC were postoperatively treated with adjuvant IMRT using TA. The IMRT dose was 45 Gy for patients without positive lymph nodes and Type I histology and 50.4 Gy for patients with positive lymph nodes and/or type II histology. RESULTS With a median follow-up of 29 months, the 12- and 24-month Overall Survival (OS) and Disease-Free Survival (DFS) were 96%, 93%, 87%, and 74%, respectively. Age of less than 60 years was associated with better OS (HR: 8.9; CI: 1.1-68) and DFS (HR: 3.5; CI: 1.2-10.2). Patients with Type II and Type I Grade III histology had a worse OS (HR: 3.3; CI: 1.1-11). Five women (6.6%) presented in-field local vaginal recurrence, 2 (2.6%) presented non-in-field vaginal recurrence, 4 (5.2%) presented pelvic node and distant recurrence and 11 (14.4%) presented only distant metastases. One patient stopped radiation treatment due to Grade III acute diarrhea. No Grade III late toxicity was observed. Planning Target Volume (PTV) coverage showed mean D2, D50, D95, and D98 of 51.64-46.23 Gy, 49.49-44.97 Gy, 48.62-43.96 Gy, and 48.47-43.58 Gy for patients who received 45 and 50.4 Gy, respectively. CONCLUSIONS IMRT with TA in postoperative EC shows excellent conformity and homogeneity of PTV dose. Without Grade III late toxicity, data from this cohort demonstrated the utility of IMRT.

Abstract
PurposePazopanib is an oral, multikinase inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) -1/-2/-3, platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) -α/-β, and c-Kit. Preclinical and clinical studies support VEGFR and PDGFR as targets for advanced ovarian cancer treatment. This study evaluated the role of pazopanib maintenance therapy in patients with ovarian cancer whose disease did not progress during first-line chemotherapy.Patients and MethodsNine hundred forty patients with histologically confirmed cancer of the ovary, fallopian tube, or peritoneum, International Federation Gynecology Obstetrics (FIGO) stages II-IV, no evidence of progression after primary therapy consisting of surgery and at least five cycles of platinum-taxane chemotherapy were randomized 1:1 to receive pazopanib 800 mg once per day or placebo for up to 24 months. The primary end point was progression-free survival by RECIST 1.0 assessed by the investigators.ResultsMaintenance pazopanib prolonged progression-free survival compared with placebo (hazard ratio [HR], 0.77; 95% CI, 0.64 to 0.91; P = .0021; median, 17.9 v 12.3 months, respectively). Interim survival analysis based on events in 35.6% of the population did not show any significant difference. Grade 3 or 4 adverse events of hypertension (30.8%), neutropenia (9.9%), liver-related toxicity (9.4%), diarrhea (8.2%), fatigue (2.7%), thrombocytopenia (2.5%), and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (1.9%) were significantly higher in the pazopanib arm. Treatment discontinuation related to adverse events was higher among patients treated with pazopanib (33.3%) compared with placebo (5.6%).ConclusionPazopanib maintenance therapy provided a median improvement of 5.6 months (HR, 0.77) in progression-free survival in patients with advanced ovarian cancer who have not progressed after first-line chemotherapy. Overall survival data to this point did not suggest any benefit. Additional analysis should help to identify subgroups of patients in whom improved efficacy may balance toxicity (NCT00866697).

Abstract
PURPOSE This trial evaluated the efficacy of maintenance erlotinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, after first-line chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eligible patients had high-risk International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage I or stage II to IV epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer and were not selected for EGFR expression. All patients underwent first-line platinum-based chemotherapy (CT) and showed no signs of progression at the end of CT. Patients were randomly assigned to maintenance erlotinib 150 mg orally daily for 2 years or to observation. EGFR immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), and mutation analyses were performed in 318 patients. RESULTS Between October 2005 and February 2008, 835 patients were randomly assigned (median follow-up, 51 months). Twenty-six percent of the patients stopped erlotinib as a result of adverse effects (of these, 67% were due to rash). For erlotinib and observation, respectively, the median progression-free survival was 12.7 and 12.4 months (hazard ratio [HR], 1.05; 95% CI, 0.90 to 1.23), and the median overall survival was 50.8 and 59.1 months (HR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.81 to 1.20 months), respectively. No subgroup could be identified with improved effect of erlotinib, based on IHC or FISH for EGFR, or mutations in genes related to the EGFR pathway, or on rash during erlotinib therapy. However, patients with a positive FISH EGFR score had a worse overall survival (46.1 months) than those with a negative score (67.0 months; HR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.01 to 2.40; P = .044). Global health/quality-of-life scores showed a significant difference during the first year (P = .0102) in favor of the observation arm. CONCLUSION Maintenance erlotinib after first-line treatment in ovarian cancer did not improve progression-free or overall survival.

Abstract
LBA5000 Background: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been found to be overexpressed in 55-98% of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. This trial evaluated the efficacy of maintenance erlotinib, an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, after first-line chemotherapy. Methods: Eligible patients (pts) had high-risk FIGO stage I or stage II-IV epithelial ovarian, peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer and were not selected for EGFR expression. All patients underwent first line therapy (6-9 cycles of 3-weekly platinum-based chemotherapy (CT)) and showed no signs of progression at the end of CT. Patients were randomised to maintenance erlotinib 150 mg daily for 2 years or observation. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) by RECIST in combination with GCIG CA125 criteria. The final design provided 80% power to detect a PFS hazard ratio (HR) of 0.80 with 2-sided log-rank test at 5% after 632 events in 830 patients. Stratifications factors were stage, institution, age, response to and type of first-line CT. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and FISH for EGFR, and EGFR mutation analyses were performed in 330 patients. The study was registered as NCT00263822 and EudraCT number 2004-004333-34. Results: Between Oct 2005 and Feb 2008, 835 pts were randomised by 125 institutions from 10 countries. The most important baseline characteristics, PFS and OS are summarized in the table. Median follow-up was 51 months. 25% of the patients stopped erlotinib due to side effects (of these 67% due to rash). The predictive value of IHC and FISH for EGFR, and EGFR mutations are being evaluated and will be presented at the meeting. Conclusions: In the overall study populationmaintenance erlotinib after first-line treatment in ovarian cancer did not improve progression-free or overall survival. [Table: see text]

Abstract
5018 Background: REV is a thalidomide analogue, with both immunomodulatory and anti-angiogenic properties that could confer antitumor effect in ROC. Methods: The aim of this study was to evaluate REV efficacy as single agent in patients (pts) with asymptomatic late ROC (>6mos) with increasing CA 125, in 2nd or 3rd line. Primary endpoint was to estimate the rate of non-progressive disease at 4 mos. Pts were treated with REV 20 mg daily in oral continuous regimen with systematically recommended anti-thrombotic prophylaxis (ATP). Imagery and CA 125 were performed every 8 weeks. Results: From 05/2009 to 09/2010, 45 pts were included with a median age of 63 years. Pt characteristics were: serous (78%), previous lines (one 73%, two 27%), median platinum-free interval (PFI) (11.3 mos), PFI > 12 mos (42%), measurable disease (73%), and ECOG performance status 0 (84%). Efficacy: Rate of non progressive disease at 4 mos was 38% (95%CI, 23-53), 59 % (95%CI, 36-82) and 24 % (95%CI, 7-41) for the global population, pts relapsing over 12 mos and those relapsing between 6-12 mos, respectively. Results were independent of the number of previous lines. Median progression-free survival was 3.8 mos (95%CI, 2.1-5.6) and 6.4 mos in the subset of pts with PFI > 12 mos. Response evaluation according to CA 125 (Rustin criteria) was: complete response (CR) 2.4%, partial response (PR) 17%, stable disease (SD) 71%. When using RECIST criteria alone, response evaluation was: 9.5% PR and 45% SD. Median duration of biological response was 6.6 mos. REV efficacy will be correlated to immunological parameters (lymphocyte phenotypes and cytokines). Safety: Grade 3-4 toxicity in more than 5% of pts was neutropenia (29%) and thrombo-embolic events (TEE) (11%). TEE occurred only in pts without ATP. Reasons for stopping treatment due to toxicity were TEE (3), allergy (2), arrhythmia (1), dyspnea (1) and neutropenia (1). Conclusions: REV demonstrated encouraging activity in ROC with good tolerability and manageable adverse events. A phase I of REV combined with platinum-based chemotherapy is currently being conducted.

Abstract
PURPOSE An update on the management of invasive cervical cancer (from stage IB) diagnosed during pregnancy with reference to the recent French guidelines. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients for whom invasive cervical cancer was diagnosed during pregnancy and managed jointly by Jeanne-de-Flandres and Roubaix maternity and by Oscar-Lambret cancer center between 2002 and 2009. RESULTS Five patients were included: four stage IB1, and one stage IB2. Five pregnancies resulted in the birth of six alive children. Three patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy during pregnancy. One patient had a laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy in first trimester. Two laparoscopic extraperitoneal paraortic lymphadenectomy have been made. The mean time of survey is 47.5 months (12-94 months). One patient died of her cancer. CONCLUSION The diagnosis of cervical cancer during pregnancy involves the same therapeutic guidelines in the absence of pregnancy. The laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy (up to 20 to 24 weeks of gestation) is crucial in the therapeutic treatment for tumors less than 4cm. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is used during pregnancy for patients refusing medical termination of pregnancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The evaluation of first-line intensive combination therapy in small cell carcinoma of the ovary (SCCO). PATIENTS AND METHODS Debulking surgery; four to six cycles of chemotherapy with cisplatin (P) 80 mg/m(2) day 1, adriamycin (A) 40 mg/m(2) day 1, vepeside (V) 75 mg/m(2)/day days 1-3, cyclophosphamide (EP) 300 mg/m(2)/day days 1-3, every 3 weeks and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor with, in case of a complete remission, high-dose chemotherapy with carboplatin, vepeside, cyclophosphamide and stem-cell support. RESULTS Twenty-seven patients (median age 25 years); International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage: five I, four IIC, 17 IIIC-IV and one unknown. Twenty patients underwent complete surgery. Eight patients progressed under chemotherapy. Among 18 patients in complete response (CR), 10 received high-dose chemotherapy (CT) (three stem-cell collection failures, two protocol violations, two disease progression and one refusal). The main grade 3-4 toxic effects were hematologic. There were eight relapses among the 18 CR, four of which were pelvic alone. Among the 27 patients, 13 died and 10 patients are in CR1, three in CR2. The median follow-up is 37 months (8-166) and the median duration of the 18 CR is 30 months (5-111). Overall survival at 1 and 3 years is 58% [confidence interval (CI) 40% to 75%] and 49% (CI 30% to 67%). CONCLUSIONS Initial dose-intensive therapy achieves interesting overall survival in SCCO.

Therapeutic value of pretherapeutic extraperitoneal laparoscopic staging of locally advanced cervical carcinoma. Gynecol Oncol 2007; 105:304-11. [PMID: 17258799 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2006.12.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 172] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2006] [Revised: 11/15/2006] [Accepted: 12/08/2006] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although cervical cancer is clinically staged, surgery has long been considered the best means to assess extrapelvic disease and remains the gold standard for the detection of both intraperitoneal spread and small volume nodal metastases. The objective of this study was to determine short- and long-term outcomes for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer who underwent pretherapeutic laparoscopic staging. METHODS From 1997 to 2004, 184 patients with stages IB2-IVA cervical cancer underwent pretherapeutic laparoscopic staging procedure including transperitoneal abdomino-pelvic exploration and extraperitoneal bilateral infrarenal paraaortic lymph node dissection. Patients were then treated with definitive radiotherapy tailored according to the staging results. RESULTS The median age and BMI were respectively 45.8 years old and 27.1 kg/m2. Most lesions were squamous (n=172) and clinical stage was evenly distributed. Median operative time was 155 min with an average of 20.8 lymph nodes removed. Postoperative hospital stay averaged 1.4 days. Major complications included 1 intraoperative ureteral injury and 1 postoperative bowel obstruction from an umbilical trocar site hernia. The final pathology revealed that 44 patients (24.3%) had metastatic disease within paraaortic lymph nodes. With a median follow-up of 26.8 months (average 32.9), 67 patients (36.4%) had recurrent disease. Overall 5-year survival rate was 58.3%. Successful resection of positive lymph node correlated with a survival advantage. CONCLUSIONS Pretherapeutic laparoscopic assessment of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer offers valuable information for individualized treatment planning with minimal morbidity. This appears to be a therapeutic effect with resection of positive nodes followed by a tailored chemoradiation therapy.

Abstract
Gestational choriocarcinoma is a rare malignant tumour with a strong metastatic potential. We report a case of a 31-year-old patient with a gestational trophoblastic tumor revealed by renal and pulmonary metastases, one year after a normal pregnancy. The diagnosis was established by the pathologist on the radical nephrectomy specimen. The evolution was quickly favorable after adequate treatment using multiagent chemotherapy. This case highlights the polymorphic aspects of the gestational choriocarcinoma and stresses the importance of a betaHCG assessment anytime abnormal symptoms occur in the outcome of a pregnancy.

Abstract
5071 Background: Most patients with ovarian carcinoma are diagnosed at an advanced stage. The ability to surgically resect tumor to microscopic residual disease remains a major prognostic factor. The use of a preoperative chemotherapy for patients with bulky disease is still debated. The objective of this study was to evaluate this therapeutic sequence. Methods: We retrospectively collected data from 207 stage III ovarian cancer patients between January 1998 and August 2004. 127 patients were considered as poor surgical candidates and received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. After 3 courses of a platinum-based chemotherapy, 51 patients who showed a good response by CA125 and CT scan underwent an interval debulking surgery (Group A). For the 43 patients with a partial response or stable disease, 3 other cycles of the same protocol were administered, followed by a secondary surgery (Group B). The remaining 33 patients progressed and had no surgery (GroupC). Results: Optimal tumor debulking (residuum <1 mm) was achieved in 90% and 81% of group A and B patients respectively. Node involvement was not different between the two groups (62%). After a median follow-up of 20.8 months, 98 patients had relapsed and 54 had died. Median OS was 42 months, 37.2 months and 14.4 months for group A, B and C respectively. Three-year OS was 76.7% for group A vs. 50.9% for group B (p = 0.11). Two-year disease free survival was not statistically different for groups A and B (17.3% and 18.5%). In the combined A and B sub-group, univariate analysis for OS showed non-optimal staging according to EORTC criteria (p = 0.005), post-surgical residuum (p = 0.02) and lack of lymphadenectomy (p = 0.01) as adverse prognostic factors. On multivariate analysis, only non-optimal staging remained significant. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is feasible. We believe the difference in overall survival between groups A and B was likely due to a higher chemosensitivity for group A. Our results support the importance of an optimal surgical staging and the possible therapeutic role of routine lymphadenectomy. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
To prove feasibility of laparoscopic and vaginal surgical approach in obese patients with endometrial cancer, 81 patients were included retrospectively in 2 Cancer Centres : 41 obese and 40 non obese. We performed hysterectomy with oophorectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy by laparoscopic and vaginal approach. Operative time was higher for obese patients vs non obese (150 vs 121 minutes, p = 0.01) but pelvic nodes (16.3 vs 16.2), postoperative stay (3.8 [2-8] vs 3.6 days [2-7]), complications and disease-free survival (93 % vs 83 %) were similar. Matching 41 obese patients treated by laparoscopy with 29 obese patients with endometrial cancer treated by laparotomy, hospital stay was shorter in the laparoscopic group (3.8 [2-8] vs 7.4 days [5-10] p < 0.001) and pelvic nodes (16.3 [3-50] vs 11.5 [2-34]), operative time (149.9 [80-300] vs 167.9 minutes [60-390]) and disease-free survival (93 vs 80 %) were similar. One patient treated by laparotomy never received intended radiotherapy because of a delay greater than 3 months caused by cutaneous necrosis. For obese patients with stage I endometrial adenocarcinoma, laparoscopic approach should be first choice because of similar operative complications and pelvic nodes, shorter hospital stay and less abdominal wall morbidity associated with lower risk to delay adjuvant radiotherapy.

Abstract
General tendency of modern cancerology is the research of adequacy between extent of disease and treatments. This concept is of course valid for gynaecology and we saw these last months the promising results of fertility-sparing surgery: in initial cervical cancers and in ovarian cancer with good prognosis. Actual Studies should define a clear attitude in patient less than 40 with initial endometrial cancer. At the same time, the development of laparoscopic surgery has continued in cervical cancer staging. If use of sentinel node in endometrial or vulvar cancers remains discussed as for its reliability, importance of staging was stressed for cervical cancer and initial ovarian cancer. Laparoscopic surgery is confirmed in patient at risk with endometrial cancer but it is necessary to stress efforts of French teams which still push back the technical limits of laparoscopic approach like pelvic exenteration or intra-peritoneal chemohyperthermia in advanced ovarian cancer. The adventure continues....
