Abstract:
5527 Background: Treatment options for patients with recurrent cervical and endometrial cancer remain limited. Even with optimum care, median survival has stalled at 12-17 months. The PARP inhibitor rucaparib has demonstrated activity in both BRCA wild-type and mutant cancers. Furthermore, preclinical studies suggest a synergistic effect of PARP inhibitors and antiangiogenic agents. We hypothesized that the combination of rucaparib and the VEGF inhibitor bevacizumab would yield a clinically-significant anti-cancer effect in patients with persistent or recurrent cervical or endometrial carcinoma. Methods: NCT03476798 is a phase II trial of adults with histologically-documented carcinoma of the cervix or endometrium. Patients with evaluable lesions who had undergone at least one prior line of systemic therapy, had adequate performance status and organ function, with a life expectancy of at least three months were eligible. Biopsies were obtained prior to treatment initiation for assessment of baseline tumor biomarkers, including ARID1A mutation status. Each cycle comprised 21 days. Rucaparib was administered orally at 600 mg, twice daily. Bevacizumab was administered by IV at 15 mg/kg on day 1 of each cycle. The primary objective was to estimate the proportion of patients with persistent or recurrent cervical or endometrial cancer who survive progression-free for at least six months (PFS6). Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate progression-free survival. Results: There were 28 evaluable patients; six had cervical and 22 had endometrial cancer. Median age was 60.5 years (range, 30-74). Self-reported patient races were White (82.1%), Black (10.7%), and Native American (7.1%). Self-identified Hispanic or Latina patients comprised 3.6% of the cohort. Twenty-two of 28 patients had progressive disease by six months [survival distribution function estimate = 0.214 (lower CI, 0.087; upper CI, 0.378)] . Of the six patients who achieved PFS6, one had cervical and five had endometrial cancer. Six patients had a mutation in the ARID1A gene and those patients achieved PFS6 at a rate of 66.7%. Conclusions: The study hypothesis was evaluated in a two-stage design, and the interim analysis occurred once 28 evaluable patients were enrolled. In order to move on to the second stage, at least seven patients needed to remain progression-free at six months, but only six did. Thus, the study was ended after the interim analysis. The combination of rucaparib and bevacizumab did not provide the expected clinical benefit in this cohort of patients, but may warrant further exploration in patients with ARID1A mutations. Clinical trial information: NCT03476798.
