12 Chemotherapy Historical Perspective How Did We Get to Carboplatin & Paclitaxel as Standard of Care?

13 Platinum Based Chemotherapy Cyclophophamide, Doxorubicin, +/- Cisplatin Omura, G et al. (1986) Cancer. 57: GOG 47

14 Cisplatin Carboplatin Single agent HR = 1.01 (95% CI ) Combination HR = 1.02 (95% CI ) Overall HR = 1.02 (95% CI ) Aabo, K et al. (1998) BriJ Cancer. 78(11):

15 Taxane Based Chemotherapy Cyclophosphamide/Cisplatin versus Paclitaxel/Cisplatin McGuire WP et al. (1996) NEJM, 334(1)1-6. GOG111

16 Taxane Based Chemotherapy Cisplatin versus Paclitaxel versus Combination Cisplatin better PFS but OS was not statistically different Toxicities and completion rates favored combination Muggia FM et al. (2000) J Clin Oncol. 18(1): GOG 132

17 Paclitaxel: 3 hour versus 24 hour» Recurrent disease 24 hour regimen was to avoid hypersensitivity 3 hour had less myelosuppression No difference in response rates Eisenhauer EA et al. (1994) JCO 12(12):

18 Alternate Taxanes» Docetaxel mg/m 2 Less neurotoxicity Greater myelotoxicity Equivalent PFS and OS Vasey PA et al. (2004) J Natl Cancer Inst; 96: » Albumin-bound nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane) Has not been directly compared» Microparticle bound paclitaxel (Xyotax) GOG 212: study for consolidation therapy

19 Ovarian Cancer: Present Day Landmark trials Standard Chemotherapy GOG 172, JGOG, NACT Advanced Disease MITO-7, 218, ICON7 Recurrent Disease Recent results: 262 Current NCCN standard of care Awaiting results: 212, 252

25 Ovarian Cancer: MITO - 7

26 Addition of Bevacizumab in Primary Treatment Regimens Barakat RR, et al. (2013) Principles and Practice of Gynecologic Oncology.

27 Ovarian Cancer: GOG 218

28 Ovarian Cancer: GOG 218

29 Ovarian Cancer: ICON7

30 Ovarian Cancer: ICON7 Suboptimally debulked patients

31 Ovarian Cancer: GOG 262

32 Ovarian Cancer: GOG 262 Dose dense is superior to q3 week CT Subanalysis **very underpowered** Addition of bevacizumab to q3 week regimen is near equivalent PFS to dose dense 10 months without vs 14 months with Addition of bevacizumab in dose dense regimen did not have an increased PFS 15 months both arms

33 Awaiting Results GOG 212 Maintenance chemotherapy (12 months) of taxol, CT-2103, or observation after complete clinical response to primary CT chemotherapy GOG 252 Phase III Clinical Trial of Bevacizumab with IV versus IP Chemotherapy in Ovarian, Fallopian Tube and Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma

35 Epithelial Ovarian Cancer: Surveillance

36 Ovarian: CA125» Double upper limit of normal on two occasions at least one week apart (GCIG Criteria)» Often elevated 2-5 months prior to clinical relapse Sensitivity: 62-94% Specificity: %

37 Rustin GJ (2010) Lancet. 326: CA125: Does Early Treatment Matter?

38 Ovarian: Symptoms» Bloating» Early satiety» Abdominal pain» Pelvic pain» Bowel habit changes» Urinary Urgency» Urinary Frequency

39 Ovarian: Routine Imaging» Benefits of Routine Imaging Diagnose asymptomatic recurrence Higher rate of optimal secondary cytoreductive surgery May benefit overall survival» Insufficient data to support routine use

40 Ovarian Cancer: Recurrent Disease All trials now focus on PFS Nothing we have done in ovarian cancer recurrent disease treatment has increased OS in the last 10 years Treating a patient at the time of biochemical or radiologic recurrence without presence of symptoms does not improve OS

41

42 Platinum Sensitive» Carboplatin/Paclitaxel» Carboplatin alone» Carboplatin/Docetaxel» Carboplatin/Liposomal Doxorubicin» Carboplatin/Gemcitabine

43 Carboplatin/Docetaxel» Phase II Trial q3 week dose» Overall response rate: 72%» Median PFS: 19 months» Patients with platinum-free interval > 12 months showed better PFS/OS» Weekly dosing (D1,8,15 of q28d)» Overall response rate: 67%» Median PFS: not reported Strauss HG et al.
