Endpoints

PFS, OS, evaluated per RECIST

Biomarkers

Exploratory: CA125 protein

Efficacy

CarboPt+Pac+Far vs CarboPt+Pac+Placebo:

PFS: 9.7 vs 9.0 months, HR: 0.86 (0.70-1.06)

Exploratory analysis baseline CA125 levels ≤3xULN:
PFS: 13.6 vs 8.8 months, HR: 0.49 (0.3-0.79, p=0.0028)
OS: NR vs 29.1 months, HR: 0.44 (0.23-0.84, p=0.0108)

Clinically Significant Adverse Events

Serious AE: none
Grade 3-4 AE: neutropenia (41%), thrombocytopenia (12%), leukopenia (11%), anemia (10%), similar in all treatment groups

Conclusion

PFS and OS benefit with addition of farletuzumab in patients with baseline CA125 levels ≤3xULN
