Abstract

Background

The randomized phase III PAOLA-1 study (NCT02477644) showed that addition of olaparib to bev maintenance improved progression-free survival (PFS) in pts with advanced OC (Ray-Coquard et al. NEJM 2019). We evaluated maintenance olaparib plus bev in the older subgroup of PAOLA-1 pts.

Methods

We collected clinical and molecular data from older pts (≥65 y). PFS in older pts was compared with younger pts (<65 y) and predictive factors explored. Safety was assessed in these subgroups.

Results

Of 806 randomized pts, 292 (36%) were ≥65 y (Table). Median age: older pts, 69 y (range 65–87 y); younger pts, 56 y (range 26–64 y). A lower proportion of older vs younger pts had an ECOG performance status of 0 (62% vs 75%), upfront surgery (39% vs 57%) and, of pts who had upfront surgery, a lower proportion had complete macroscopic resection (54% vs 62%). Older pts were less likely to have a BRCA1/2 mutation (BRCAm) (17% vs 36% of younger pts) or a homologous recombination deficiency (HRD)-positive status (36% vs 55%) and were more likely to be HRD-negative (46% vs 28%). Data cut off was 22 March 2019. After a median follow-up (in censored pts) of 22.1 months (mo) in older pts and 24.0 mo in younger pts, similar PFS was observed in the older and younger pt subgroups (Table). In older pts, greater PFS benefits with olaparib were seen in those with a BRCAm or who were HRD-positive. Incidence of grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) was 64% in older pts (olaparib arm, 65% vs placebo arm, 62%) and 50% in younger pts (52% vs 46%). In the olaparib arm, there was one treatment-related AE with an outcome of death (in a younger pt) and three cases of myelodysplastic syndrome (1 older pt; 2 younger pts).

 .

Conclusions

Despite a lower rate of complete surgical debulking, older pts achieved a similar PFS benefit vs younger pts (including in the BRCAm and both HRD positive cohorts) when olaparib was added to first-line maintenance bev, with a comparable safety profile.
