ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To determine the impact of chemotherapy dose reductions and dose delays on progression-free survival (PFS) in women with ovarian cancer receiving first line chemotherapy in a real world prospective cohort study.METHODS:
Patients with newly diagnosed epithelial ovarian (or peritoneal, fallopian tube) cancer enrolled in a national Australian prospective study, OPAL, who commenced three-weekly carboplatin (AUC 5 or 6) and paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 (CP) or carboplatin (AUC 5 or 6) and dose-dense weekly paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 (DD-CP) were eligible. Primary endpoint was PFS.RESULTS:
634 evaluable patients, 309 commenced CP and 325 DD-CP. Patient's age was similar in the two groups (median 62 years, range 21-79). All planned chemotherapy doses were completed by 66% vs 40% (p < 0.001) in the CP and DD-CP groups respectively. There was at least one treatment delay in 28% vs 58% (p < 0.001) in the CP and DD-CP groups, respectively, and 29% vs 49% (p < 0.001), respectively, required at least a 15% dose reduction for either carboplatin or paclitaxel. Median PFS was 29.2 [22.9, 43.8] and 21.5 [19.4, 23.1] months in the CP and DD-CP groups respectively. Adjusting for age, histology and FIGO stage PFS did not differ between treatment groups. Median PFS was similar in patients irrespective of dose reduction or dose delay.CONCLUSION:
Patients receiving DD-CP required more dose reductions and delays due to haematological toxicities and lower completion rates than CP without significant difference in median PFS between CP and DD-CP. Median PFS was similar in patients irrespective of dose reduction or dose delay.Palavras-chave
