Abstract:
e17065 Background: Patients with advanced ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCC) have poor prognosis, and response rate of chemotherapy for relapsed OCC is less than 10%. The effective standard treatment has not been established yet. The synergic effect between gemcitabine and cisplatin in ovarian cancer patients has been reported. And bevacizumab added on chemotherapy has some evidences of progression-free survival improvement at primary, platinum sensitive relapse and platinum resistant relapse situation than chemotherapy only. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective charts review to examine the safety and efficacy of gemcitabine, cisplatin, and bevacizumab combination (GPB) therapy in OCC patients treated in our hospital. Methods: Intravenous gemcitabine (1,000 mg/m 2 , day 1, 15), cisplatin (40 mg/m 2 , day 1, 15), and bevacizumab (15 mg/kg, day 1) were administrated every 28 days. This combination therapy was continued until disease progression or appearance of intolerable toxicity. This retrospective study was approved by our institutional ethics board. Results: Eight patients were treated with this GPB therapy in our institution between April 2013 and August 2015. Six patients received this therapy due to presence of relapse, and 2 patients were administered GPB as post-operative adjuvant therapy. Four patients were not treated with bevacizumab due to their medical conditions. The median treatment cycle was 5.5 (range: 1-15). Six patients were evaluable and their responses were partial response (PR) 1, stable disease (SD) 2, and progressive disease (PD) 3. The overall response rate was 13% and the disease control rate was 50%. Four patients needed dose reduction or treatment delay. Grade 3 adverse events observed were anemia (25%), nausea (13%), and elevation of G-GTP (13%). Conclusions: GPB therapy is feasible and moderately effective for patients with OCC. We are currently conducting the prospective multi-institutional phase II trial (UMIN 000023097) and expect that GPB therapy will be used as the standard treatment regimen for OCC, in future.
