Ovarian Cancer: 2010• 1/71 lifetime risk1

• 5-year survival rates (by year of diagnosis)2

– 1990-1992 42.5%– 1993-1995 43.5%– 1996-2003 45%

• Mortality relatively unchanged but statistically significant improvement in 5-year survival rates

Ovarian Cancer StagingStage I - Limited to ovaries

A. Unilateral ovary

B. Bilateral ovaries

C. Positive cytology

Stage II - Limited to pelvis

A. Extends to uterus or tubes

B. other pelvic organs

C. Positive cytology

Stage III – Spread to upper abdomen or regional lymph nodes

A. Microscopic spread

B. Macroscopic < 2 cm

C. Macroscopic > 2 cm

Stage IV - Spread outside peritoneum, pleura or parenchymal

liver metastases

Goals (Debulking)•Assessment of extent of disease

•Optimal tumor reduction

TAH = total abdominal hysterectomy

BSO = bilateral salphingo-oophorectomy

First-line Therapy – Standard Treatment Options

Platinum + Taxane Chemotherapy(Carboplatin + Paclitaxel)

Surgery with maximum cytoreduction effort <1cm

Chemotherapy• Standard front-line chemotherapy in the US today

is carboplatin, AUC 6 to 7.5, paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 every 21 days for 6 cycles

• Result of several studies over last decade

– GOG 1111 and OV 102 - paclitaxel/cisplatin vs cyclophosphamide/cisplatin

– GOG 1583 and AGO OVAR-34 - carboplatin instead of cisplatin

SCOTROC: Conclusion• PC vs DC: PC the Standard

– Overall toxicity clearly favors paclitaxel regimen for all except neurotoxicity and arthralgia/myalgia

– Differences in neurotoxicity related to taxane in each regimen should be reversible

– Myelotoxicity worse with docetaxel and prevents use of what may be optimal dose of carboplatin

– Paclitaxel/carboplatin remains the standard of care in order to maximize efficacy, minimize life-threatening toxicity

Goals of Treatment:Relapsed Ovarian Cancer

• Prolong Survival

• Delay Time to Progression

• Control Disease-Related Symptoms

• Minimize Treatment-Related Symptoms

• Maintain or Improve Quality of Life

Issues Impacting Therapy for Recurrent Ovarian Cancer

• Treatment-free interval– Impact of consolidation/maintenance therapy

• Number of prior regimens– Response to prior therapy

• Toxicity from prior therapy– Prior use of growth factors– Transfusion requirements– Neuropathy

• Volume and site(s) of disease– Ascites/GI symptoms– Performance status

Surveillance Options for Ovarian Cancer Patients in Remission• Second-look laparotomy

• Physical examination– Include pelvic examination

• CA-125

• Imaging– CT scan– MRI?– PET scan?

CT = computed tomographyMRI = magnetic resonance imaging PET = positron emission tomography

Ovarian Cancer:How is Relapse Defined?

• Continuous rise in CA-125

• CA-125 above 100

• Radiographic recurrence

• Symptomatic recurrence

• Physical examination findings

• Combination of above

Farletuzumab (MORAb-003) in Platinum-Sensitive EOC: Study Rationale

• FRA is overexpressed in most EOC; largely absent from normal tissue

• Binding of MORAb-003 to FRA blocks phosphorylation by Lyn kinase; mediates FRA-expressing tumor cell killing; suppresses tumor growth in xenograft models

• Phase I study of single agent MORAb-003 demonstrated no significant adverse effects and suggested efficacy in platinum-resistant EOC

MORAb-003 in Platinum-Sensitive EOC: Phase II Study Design

• 13 studies (11non-randomized series, 1 non-randomized phase II and 1 randomized trial)

• 59 of 568 women (10.4%) treated with tamoxifen achieved an objective response (RR)– RR varied from 0% to 56%– Stable disease, for variable periods of 4 weeks or

more, in 109 of 356 (30.6%) from 8 studies– Not enough data to assess duration of RR, survival, or

the effect of tamoxifen on quality of life

Rationale for Targeting VEGF in Treatment of Epithelial

Ovarian Cancer• Human tumors

– VEGF over-expressed in epithelial ovarian cancers, associated with

• Ascites formation• Malignant progression• Poor prognosis

• Preclinical models of solid tumors – Anti-VEGF therapy:

• Slowing of tumor progression• Resolution of malignant effusions• Synergy with cytotoxic agents

Bevacizumab - Toxicity• Proteinuria (usually G1 – G2)

• Muco-cutaneous hemorrhage– Common – G1 epistaxis

– Rare (possibly life-threatening) G2-G4 tumor site hemorrhage (primarily lung cancer trials)

• Arterial thromboembolism– Uncommon (3% - 5%)

– Risk factors: age > 65, prior arterial TE

– Risk of venous thromboembolism not increased

• GI perforation – wound healing– Perforation uncommon (2% - 4% in solid tumor population)

– Wound dehiscence rate 1%
