A Phase I Study of Intravenous Carboplatin/Paclitaxel or Intravenous and Intraperitoneal Paclitaxel/Cisplatin in Combination With Continuous or Intermittent /CTEP-Supplied Agent ABT-888 (NSC #737664) and CTEP-Supplied Agent Bevacizumab (NSC #704865) in Newly Diagnosed Patients With Previously Untreated Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

Trial ID # NCT00989651; GOG-9923
Phase I
Drug Class DNA Damage Repair Pathway Inhibitors: PARP
Drug Name Veliparib
Alternate Drug Names ABT-888
Drugs in Trial Carboplatin, Cisplatin, Paclitaxel, Veliparib, Bevacizumab
Eligible Participant

Newly diagnosed stage II-IV ovarian cancer

Patients Enrolled

424 stage II-IV ovarian cancer (73.6% stage III)

Therapy Setting

First-line

Study Design

Open-Label, Non-randomized

Endpoints

PFS, OS, evaluated per RECIST

Efficacy

IV: IV CarboPt+Pac+Bev every 21 days w/ Bev maint (n=173)
weekly IV: weekly IV Pac+CarboPt+Bev w/ Bev maint (n=128)
IP: IP CisPt + IV/IP Pac+Bev IV w/ Bev maint (n=123)
Veliparib is given with chemotherapy either as continuous treatment (Vel cont): twice daily for the entirety of each cycle or as intermittent treatment (Vel int): on days −2 to 5 of each cycle

IV Vel cont vs IV Vel int vs weekly IV Vel cont vs weekly IV Vel int vs IP Vel cont vs IP Vel int:
PFS: 24.5 vs 26.1 vs 23.5 vs 24.4 vs 43.2 vs 39.6 months
OS: 65.2 vs 59.9 vs 66.5 vs 67.2 vs NR vs NR months

Clinically Significant Adverse Events

IV vs weekly IV vs IP:
Serious AE:
Grade 4-5 AE: 85 vs 50 vs 45.5%

Conclusion

Patients receiving IP cisplatin + IV/IP paclitaxel show promising PFS and OS when compared to patients receiving IV carboplatin+paclitaxel, however differences may be reflective of selection bias toward patients enrolled on the IP chemotherapy arm
