Overview of clinical trials assessing treatments for ovarian cancer patients resistant to PARP inhibitors.
| Category | Study name or identifier | Phase | PARPi | Combination | Population | Results | Study status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Replace other PARPis | OReO/ENGOT-Ov38 NCT03106987 | IIIb | Olaparib | - | Patients with epithelial ovarian cancer previously treated with a PARPi and responding to repeat platinum chemotherapy | PFS 5.3 months vs. 2.8 months (olaparib group vs. placebo group) | Completed |
| Antiangiogenic agents | NCT02354131 | II | Niraparib | Bevacizumab | Platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer | PFS 11.9 months vs. 5.5 months (combination group vs. nilaparib alone) | Completed |
| EVOLVE | II | Olaparib | Cediranib | Patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer who relapsed or progressed after PARPi maintenance therapy | 16-week PFS rate 55%, 50%, and 39%, respectively (platinum-sensitive group, platinum-resistant group, and progression group after standard chemotherapy) | Completed | |
| Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) | NCT02657889 | I/II | Nilaparib | Pembrolizumab | Patients with recurrent ovarian cancer | ORR was 18% (90% CI, 11%–29%), with a disease control rate of 65% (90% CI, 54%–75%), including three (5%) with confirmed complete responses, eight (13%) with confirmed partial responses, 28 (47%) with stable disease, and 20 (33%) with progressive disease | Completed |
| MEDIOLA NCT02734004 | I/II | Olaparib | Dulvalumab | Patients with BRCA2-mutated metastatic breast and ovarian cancer | The 28-week disease control rate (DCR) was 65.6%, and the ORR was 71.9%, with 7 patients achieving complete remission (CR) | Recruiting | |
| Cell cycle checkpoint inhibitors | NCT03057145 | I | Olaparib | Prexasertib | Advanced solid tumors | Four of 18 BRCA1-mutant patients who were P ARPi-resistant achieved a partial response | Completed |
