About
This phase III trial compares the effect of olaparib for one year versus two years, with or without bevacizumab, for the treatment of BRCA 1/2 mutated or homologous recombination deficient stage III or IV ovarian cancer. Olaparib is a polyadenosine 5'-diphosphoribose polymerase (PARP) enzyme inhibitor and may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. It works by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. Giving olaparib for one year with or without bevacizumab may be effective in treating patients with BRCA 1/2 mutated or homologous recombination deficient stage III or IV ovarian cancer, when compared to two years of olaparib.
Full description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine investigator assessed progression-free survival using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1 (non-inferiority) for one versus (vs.) two years of maintenance olaparib.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate overall survival (OS360) in the modified intent to treat (ITT) population, with time at risk for progression/death starting 360 days after randomization.
II. To evaluate progression-free survival (PFS), PFS2 and overall survival (OS) in the ITT population.
III. To evaluate PFS, PFS2, and OS in the as-treated population. IV. To evaluate toxicity, including rates of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and other secondary malignancies, in the safety population.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate the moderating effect of physician-choice bevacizumab (as stratified) on randomized treatment effect estimates.
TRANSLATIONAL OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess BRCA reversion mutations in circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) as a predictor of poor response in the BRCA mutated (BRCAm) population.
II. To correlate a combined assay assessing quantitative BRCA1 and RAD51C promoter methylation and pathogenic variants in core homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes with clinical homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) testing and outcomes in the BRCA wildtype (BRCAwt) population.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I (REFERENCE): Patients receive olaparib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-21 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 21 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may also receive bevacizumab IV on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles of bevacizumab repeat every 21 days for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo blood sample collection and computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) throughout the study.
ARM II (EXPERIMENTAL): Patients receive olaparib PO BID on days 1-21 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 21 days for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may also receive bevacizumab IV on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles of bevacizumab repeat every 21 days for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo blood sample collection and CT and/or MRI throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months for 3 years.

-
Patient must have undergone cytoreductive surgery (primary or interval)
-
Patients must have completed first line platinum-based therapy prior to registration:
-
Platinum based chemotherapy course must have consisted of a minimum of 4 treatment cycles and a maximum of 9, although it is strongly recommended that patients receive at least 6 cycles unless medically contraindicated
- For those receiving less than 6 cycles of platinum-based therapy, the reason for this must be documented and could include hematologic toxicity or non-hematologic toxicities directly related to therapy

-
Patients must be randomized at least 3 weeks and no more than 12 weeks after their last dose of chemotherapy (last dose is the day of the last infusion of platinum agent)
