BACKGROUND: The open-label, single-arm, multicentre ORZORA trial (NCT02476968) evaluated maintenance olaparib in patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer (PSR OC) with a germline (g) or somatic (s) BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 mutation (BRCAm) or a non-BRCA homologous recombination repair mutation (non-BRCA HRRm). METHODS: Patients were in response to platinum-based chemotherapy after ≥2 prior lines of treatment and underwent prospective central screening for tumour BRCA status, then central gBRCAm testing to determine sBRCAm or gBRCAm status. An exploratory cohort evaluated non-BRCA HRRm in 13 predefined genes. Patients received olaparib 400 mg (capsules) twice daily until investigator-assessed disease progression. Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS) and safety. RESULTS: 177 patients received olaparib. At the final data cutoff (25 June 2021), median OS from study enrolment was 46.8 (95% confidence interval [CI] 37.9-54.4), 43.2 (31.7-NC [not calculated]), 47.4 (37.9-NC) and 44.9 (28.9-NC) months in the BRCAm, sBRCAm, gBRCAm and non-BRCA HRRm cohorts, respectively. No new safety signals were identified. CONCLUSION: Maintenance olaparib showed consistent clinical activity in the BRCAm and sBRCAm cohorts; exploratory analysis suggested similar activity in the non-BRCA HRRm cohort. These findings highlight that patients with PSR OC, beyond those with gBRCAm, may benefit from maintenance olaparib.

Olaparib treatment significantly improved objective response rate (primary end point) and progression-free survival versus nonplatinum chemotherapy in patients with BRCA-mutated platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer in the open-label phase III SOLO3 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02282020). We report final overall survival (OS; prespecified secondary end point), post hoc OS analysis by number of previous chemotherapy lines, and exploratory BRCA reversion mutation analysis. Two hundred sixty-six patients were randomly assigned 2:1 to olaparib tablets (300 mg twice daily; n = 178) or physician's choice of single-agent nonplatinum chemotherapy (pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, paclitaxel, gemcitabine, or topotecan; n = 88). OS was similar with olaparib versus chemotherapy (hazard ratio [HR], 1.07 [95% CI, 0.76 to 1.49]; P = .71, median 34.9 and 32.9 months, respectively, full analysis set). OS with olaparib was favorable in patients with two previous chemotherapy lines (HR, 0.83 [olaparib v chemotherapy] [95% CI, 0.51 to 1.38]; median 37.9 v 28.8 months); however, a potential detrimental effect was seen in patients with at least three previous chemotherapy lines (HR, 1.33 [95% CI, 0.84 to 2.18]; median 29.9 v 39.4 months). BRCA reversion mutations might have contributed to this finding. No patient randomly assigned to olaparib with a BRCA reversion mutation detected at baseline (6 of 170 [3.5%]) achieved an objective tumor response.

BACKGROUND: Mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx (MIRV) is a first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate targeting folate receptor α (FRα), approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer in the USA. Here, we report patient-reported outcomes for participants treated with MIRV compared with investigator's choice of chemotherapy from the phase 3 MIRASOL trial, which met its primary endpoint of progression-free survival and key secondary endpoints of objective response rate and overall survival. METHODS: The MIRASOL trial was a confirmatory, phase 3, randomised, controlled, open-label trial, building on the phase 2 SORAYA trial which had previously demonstrated the safety and efficacy of MIRV in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Patients 18 years or older with a confirmed platinum-resistant, recurrent high-grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer diagnosis were recruited from 253 sites including hospitals, academic centres, and community centres in 21 countries. Patients must have received one to three previous systemic anticancer therapies, and have high FRα tumour expression (≥75% tumour cells with an immunohistochemistry score of ≥2+ membrane staining using the PS2+ scoring method), one or more lesions with measurable disease, and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to MIRV or investigator's choice of chemotherapy, stratified by number of previous therapy lines and the type of investigator's choice of chemotherapy. Therapies were administered in an open-label manner; MIRV was administered intravenously at 6 mg/kg of adjusted ideal bodyweight every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival. Key secondary endpoints were objective response rate, overall survival, and a 15·0-point or greater improvement at week 8 or 9 in abdominal and gastrointestinal symptoms using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Ovarian Cancer Module (EORTC QLQ-OV28) in the intention-to-treat population. The MIRASOL trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04209855), the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG 3045), and the European Network of Gynaecological Oncological Trial Groups (ENGOT-ov55), and is complete. FINDINGS: Between Feb 3, 2020, and Aug 3, 2022, 453 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to treatment (227 to the MIRV group and 226 to the investigator's choice of chemotherapy group). All patients were female; 301 (66%) participants were White, 53 (12%) were Asian, 13 (3%) were Black, and 86 (19%) were of another race or not reported; 27 (6%) were Hispanic or Latino. The median follow-up for the study, determined by the reverse Kaplan-Meier method, was 13·1 months (95% CI 12·1-14). QLQ-OV28 completion rates were 86% (365 of 425) at baseline and 81% (282 of 349) at week 8 or 9. 34 (21·0%; 95% CI 15·0-28·1) of 162 patients treated with MIRV reported improvement in QLQ-OV28 abdominal and gastrointestinal scores, compared with 23 (15·3%; 10·0-22·1) of 150 patients treated with the investigator's choice of chemotherapy. These differences were not statistically significant (odds ratio 1·5 [95% CI 0·8-2·6]; p=0·26). INTERPRETATION: MIRV did not seem to impair or improve patient quality of life compared with investigator's choice of chemotherapy. The similar quality-of-life outcomes in the two treatment groups, combined with the previously reported higher efficacy of MIRV compared with single-agent chemotherapy, support MIRV as new treatment option for FRα-positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the association between pre-operative progesterone receptor (PR) and p53 expression and prognosis in pre-operative grade 2 endometrioid endometrial carcinoma compared with grade 1 and grade 3 carcinomas. METHODS: Three European endometrial carcinoma cohort studies were included. Patients with pre-operative grade 2 endometrioid carcinoma and known pre-operative PR and p53 status were included (n = 400), as were patients with pre-operative grade 1 (n = 602) or grade 3 (n = 148) endometrioid carcinomas. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were performed to analyze disease-specific and disease-free survival. RESULTS: Patients with pre-operative grade 2 endometrial carcinoma and wild-type p53 plus PR-positive expression showed a similar 7-year disease-specific survival to grade 1 endometrial carcinoma patients (95.8% vs 97.5%, p = .13), while the 7-year disease-specific survival of patients with grade 2 endometrial carcinoma with p53 aberrant and/or negative PR expression (83.5%) was significantly lower (p < .001). The combination of these markers was an independent prognostic factor in multivariate Cox regression analyses. CONCLUSIONS: The prognostic impact of pre-operative p53 and PR expression in patients with grade 2 endometrioid endometrial carcinoma supports a modified binary grading system in which grade 2 patients should be pre-operatively classified as low- or high-grade depending on p53 and PR expression.

BACKGROUND: Anastomotic leakage is a significant complication following bowel resection in cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer. Previous studies have highlighted the detrimental effects of anastomotic leakage on patients' postoperative course. However, there is still a lack of precise identification of the high-risk population and established strategies for preventing its occurrence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients who underwent bowel resection within the surgical phase III trial AGO-OVAR.OP3/LION investigating the impact of systematic pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy in cytoreductive surgery for primary ovarian cancer were included in this analysis. All patients in the AGO-OVAR.OP3/LION trial had undergone complete cytoreduction with no macroscopic residual disease. We analyzed the occurrence of anastomotic leakage regarding surgical procedure (non-lymphadenectomy vs. lymphadenectomy and non-stoma vs. stoma) using the Fisher test. Risk factors for anastomotic leakage and its prognostic impact on survival were analyzed. RESULTS: Overall rate of anastomotic leakage was 7.1%. Notably, the Non-lymphadenectomy subgroup had a lower anastomotic leakage rate of 3.0% compared to the lymphadenectomy subgroup (11.2%, P = 0.005). The use of protective stoma placement resulted in an anastomotic leakage rate of 5.5% regardless of lymphadenectomy compared to the Non-Stoma subgroup (7.5%, P = 0.78). Increased blood loss (odds ratio [OR] 1.04 per 100cc, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.0001-1.09) and lymphadenectomy (OR 3.67, 95% CI 1.41-11.40) were associated with a higher risk of anastomotic leakage. Although anastomotic leakage demonstrated a numerical detrimental impact on median progression-free survival (PFS) (18 months with anastomotic leakage vs. 19 months with Non-anastomotic leakage, hazard ratio [HR] 0.86; 95% CI 0.5 to 1.4, P = 0.53) and median overall survival (OS) (31 months with anastomotic leakage vs. 58 months with Non-anastomotic leakage, HR 0.69; 95% CI 0.4 to 1.2, P = 0.17), the differences were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Anastomotic leakage rates were lower in the Non-lymphadenectomy arm, the current standard of care. Blood loss and lymphadenectomy, as surrogate markers for extensive surgery, were associated with increased risk for anastomotic leakage. These findings highlight the importance of strategies to reduce surgical complexity and perioperative risk to improve clinical outcomes.

PURPOSE: Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) are electric fields that disrupt processes critical for cancer cell viability and tumor progression. The pivotal, phase 3 ENGOT-ov50/GOG-3029/INNOVATE-3 study evaluated efficacy and safety of TTFields therapy with paclitaxel (PTX) vs PTX in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Adult patients with PROC with ≤ 5 total prior lines of therapy (LOT), including ≤ 2 prior LOT for platinum-resistant disease, and ECOG PS of 0-1 were randomized 1:1 to receive TTFields (200 kHz; ≥ 18 h/day) + PTX (80 mg/m2 weekly) or PTX. Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Exploratory post-hoc analyses assessed OS in pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD)-naive patients. RESULTS: Between March 2019 and November 2021, 558 patients (ECOG PS 0, 60.2 %; median [range] age, 62 [22-91] years) were assigned TTFields+PTX (n = 280) or PTX (n = 278). 24.4 % had 4 + prior LOT. Median OS was 12.2 months with TTFields+PTX vs 11.9 months with PTX (HR, 1.01; 95 % CI, 0.83-1.24; p = 0.89). Grade ≥ 3 adverse events (AEs) were similar between treatment groups. Grade 1/2 device-related skin AEs occurred in 83.6 % of patients receiving TTFields therapy. In exploratory post-hoc analysis in PLD-naive patients, median OS was 16 months with TTFields+PTX (n = 113) vs 11.7 months with PTX (n = 88; nominal HR, 0.67; 95 % CI, 0.49-0.94; p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: No new safety signals were identified. TTFields+PTX did not significantly improve OS compared with PTX in the intent-to-treat population. An exploratory post-hoc analysis suggests a potentially favorable benefit-risk profile for TTFields therapy in PLD-naive patients.

INTRODUCTION: Until now, it is still true that late detection of ovarian cancer is a major cause of its poor prognosis. So far, no sufficiently sensitive and specific marker or combination of markers and imaging methods has been identified that would unambiguously allow the detection of early potentially highly-curable stages and furthermore prebioptically differentiate a group of poorly distinguishable benign lesions from malignant tumours on ultrasound. In a retrospective study design, serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGF-D) were investigated. VEGF-D is related to tumour-induced angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, and vascular remodelling with the effect of facilitating metastasis and improved oxygen and nutrient distribution into tumour tissue. On the other hand, the lymphatic network serves as a barrier against tumour dissemination and is a transport system for immune-active elements in suppressing tumorigenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate that there is a difference in serum VEGF-D levels in a group of patients with malignant tumours, benign ovarian lesions, and healthy controls without pathological findings in the adnexa. METHODS: 162 sera collected preoperatively and preserved by a freezing process in a biobank in 2022-2023 were retrospectively evaluated. The test set was stratified on the basis of histopathological results of the adnexal examination into the malignant tumour group (N = 54), benign lesion group (N = 47), and healthy control group (N = 61). Descriptive statistical analysis methods were used for the statistical evaluation of the parameters. Nonparametric tests were used to compare serum VEGF-D levels. All analyses were considered at a significance level of 5%. Serum VEGF-D was analysed by ELISA Quantikine® Human VEGF D R&D Systems and values were read spectrophotometrically on a TECAN reader. RESULTS: The result of the comparison of descriptive statistical parameters was statistically significant (P = 0.00067) for the difference between serum VEGF-D levels in the set of benign lesions and malignant tumours. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant difference between the values of patients with malignant tumours and healthy controls (P = 0.0008). No statistically significant difference was found between the values of patients with benign lesions and healthy controls (P = 0.4308). Compared to the conventional marker CA125, pathologically elevated serum CA125 levels correlated with low serum VEGF-D levels in patients with malignant tumours. The same concordance was observed in comparison with the HE4 marker: high serum HE4 levels were accompanied by low VEGF-D levels in the group of patients with malignant tumours; moreover, the dot plot clearly stratified the group of patients with malignant tumours from the group of benign lesions and healthy controls. CONCLUSION: In view of the results obtained, the investigation of serum VEGF-D levels has the potential of a diagnostic test with a contribution to the stratification of the difficult of prebioptically differentiating adnexal tumours.

Chemoresistance poses one of the most significant challenges of cancer therapy. Carboplatin (CbPt) is one of the most used chemotherapeutics in ovarian cancer (OVC) treatment. MRE11 constitutes a part of homologous recombination (HR), which is responsible for the repair of CbPt-induced DNA damage, particularly DNA crosslinks. The study's main aim was to address the role of HR in CbPt chemoresistance in OVC and to evaluate the possibility of overcoming CbPt chemoresistance by Mirin-mediated MRE11 inhibition in an OVC cell line. Lower expression of MRE11 was associated with better overall survival in a cohort of OVC patients treated with platinum drugs (TCGA dataset, P < 0.05). Using in vitro analyses, we showed that the high expression of HR genes drives the CbPt chemoresistance in our CbPt-resistant cell line model. Moreover, the HR inhibition by Mirin not only increased sensitivity to carboplatin (P < 0.05) but also rescued the sensitivity in the CbPt-resistant model (P < 0.05). Our results suggest that MRE11 inhibition with Mirin may represent a promising way to overcome OVC resistance. More therapy options will ultimately lead to better personalized cancer therapy and improvement of patients' survival.

BACKGROUND: The search for effective biomarkers for ovarian cancer (OC) early diagnosis is an urgent task of modern oncogynecology. Metabolic profiling by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS) provides information on the totality of all low molecular weight metabolites of patient's biological fluids sample, reflecting the processes occurring in the body. The aim of the study was to research blood plasma and urine metabolomic profile of patients with serous ovarian adenocarcinoma by UHPLC-MS. MATERIAL AND METHODS: To perform metabolomic analysis, 60 blood plasma samples and 60 urine samples of patients diagnosed with serous ovarian carcinoma and 20 samples of apparently healthy volunteers were taken. Chromatographic separation was performed on a Vanquish Flex UHPLC System chromatograph (Thermo Scientific, Germany). Mass spectrometric analysis was performed on an Orbitrap Exploris 480 (Thermo Scientific, Germany) equipped with an electrospray ionization source. Bioinformatic analysis was performed using Compound Discoverer Software (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA), statistical data analysis was performed in the Python programming language using the SciPy library. RESULTS: Using UHPLC-MS, 1,049 metabolites of various classes were identified in blood plasma. In patients with OC, 8 metabolites had a significantly lower concentration (P < 0.01) compared with conditionally healthy donors, while the content of 19 compounds, on the contrary, increased (P < 0.01). During the metabolomic profiling of urine samples, 417 metabolites were identified: 12 compounds had a significantly lower concentration compared to apparently healthy individuals, the content of 14 compounds increased (P < 0.01). In patients with ovary serous adenocarcinoma, a significant change in the metabolome of blood plasma and urine was found, expressed in abnormal concentrations of lipids and their derivatives, fatty acids and their derivatives, acylcarnitines, phospholipids, amino acids and their derivatives, derivatives of nitrogenous bases and steroids. At the same time, kynurenine, myristic acid, lysophosphatidylcholine and L-octanoylcarnitine are the most promising markers of this disease. CONCLUSION: The revealed changes in the metabolome can become the basis for improving approaches to the diagnosis of serous ovarian adenocarcinoma.

Rare, germline loss-of-function variants in a handful of DNA repair genes are associated with epithelial ovarian cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of rare, coding, loss-of-function variants across the genome in epithelial ovarian cancer. We carried out a gene-by-gene burden test with various histotypes using data from 2573 non-mucinous cases and 13,923 controls. Twelve genes were associated at a False Discovery Rate of less than 0.1 of which seven were the known ovarian cancer susceptibility genes BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, RAD51C, RAD51D, MSH6 and PALB2. The other five genes were OR2T35, HELB, MYO1A and GABRP which were associated with non-high-grade serous ovarian cancer and MIGA1 which was associated with high-grade serous ovarian cancer. Further support for the association of HELB association comes from the observation that loss-of-function variants in HELB are associated with age at natural menopause and Mendelian randomisation analysis shows an association between genetically predicted age at natural menopause and endometrioid ovarian cancer, but not high-grade serous ovarian cancer.
