Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine how patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer will best respond to treatment with rucaparib versus chemotherapy.

Detailed description

Rucaparib is an orally available, small molecule inhibitor of poly-adenosine diphosphate \[ADP\] ribose polymerase (PARP) being developed for treatment of ovarian cancer associated with homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair deficiency (HRD). The safety and efficacy of rucaparib has been evaluated in several Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies. An oral formulation is the focus of current development efforts. Rucaparib is currently being investigated as monotherapy in patients with cancer associated with breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) or BRCA2 mutations. While PARP inhibitors have demonstrated consistent robust clinical activity in patients with relapsed ovarian cancer associated with HRD, prospective studies evaluating efficacy and safety of PARPi versus standard of care chemotherapy have been limited. The primary purpose of this Phase 3 study is to compare the efficacy and safety of rucaparib versus chemotherapy as treatment for relapsed ovarian cancer in patients with a deleterious BRCA1/2 mutation in their tumor.

Interventions

DRUGChemotherapy

Chemotherapy will be administered per local standard of care and regulations. Specific comparator will depend on platinum status and investigator decision.

DRUGRucaparib

Tablets of rucaparib, at a dose of 600 mg, will be taken orally twice a day

Least Squares Mean Change From Baseline in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) Global Health Status Score for the First 6 Cycles (ITT Population)Baseline to the end of Cycle 6, or up to approximately 6 monthsEORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire that rates the overall quality of life in cancer patients. The first 28 questions use a 4-point scale (1=not at all to 4=very much) for evaluating function (physical, role, social, cognitive, emotional), symptoms (diarrhea, fatigue, dyspnea, appetite loss, insomnia, nausea/vomiting, constipation, and pain) and financial difficulties. The last 2 questions use a 7-point scale (1=very poor to 7=excellent) to evaluate overall health and quality of life. Global scores are converted to a score of 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating improved health status. Mean changes from baseline global score over the first 6 cycles in the Treatment Part of the study were analyzed.
Overall Survival (Efficacy Population)All patients were followed for survival up to approximately 3.5 years.Overall survival (OS) is defined as the number of days from the date of randomization to the date of death (due to any cause). Patients who are still alive were censored on the date of their last available visit or last date known to be alive.

Investigator Assessed Progression-Free Survival (invPFS) by RECIST Version 1.1 for Rucaparib Versus Chemotherapy (Efficacy Population)

The primary efficacy endpoint is invPFS for the Treatment Part of the study. The time to invPFS is calculated in months as the time from randomization to disease progression +1 day, as determined by RECIST v1.1 (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) criteria or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Progression is defined using RECIST v1.1, as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

Time frame: Assessments every 8 weeks from Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1) until disease progression, death, or initiation of subsequent treatment. After 18 months on study, assessments every 16 weeks. Total follow-up was up to approximately 3.5 years.

Population: Efficacy Population - All randomized patients in the treatment part of study with a deleterious BRCA mutation, excluding those identified to have a BRCA reversion mutation. As noted in the Baseline Characteristics Module, 1 patient in the Chemotherapy Arm did not have a BRCA mutation (Non-BRCA) and is therefore excluded from the overall number of patients analyzed.

PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of longest diameter.

Time frame: Assessments every 8 weeks from C1D1 until disease progression, death, or initiation of subsequent treatment. After 18 months on study, assessments every 16 weeks. Total follow-up was up to approximately 3.5 years.

Population: Intent-to-treat (ITT) population with measurable disease at baseline. ITT population defined as all randomized patients.

Least Squares Mean Change From Baseline in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) Global Health Status Score for the First 6 Cycles (Efficacy Population)

EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire that rates the overall quality of life in cancer patients. The first 28 questions use a 4-point scale (1=not at all to 4=very much) for evaluating function (physical, role, social, cognitive, emotional), symptoms (diarrhea, fatigue, dyspnea, appetite loss, insomnia, nausea/vomiting, constipation, and pain) and financial difficulties. The last 2 questions use a 7-point scale (1=very poor to 7=excellent) to evaluate overall health and quality of life. Global scores are converted to a score of 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating improved health status. Mean changes from baseline global score over the first 6 cycles in the Treatment Part of the study were analyzed.

Time frame: Baseline to the end of Cycle 6, or up to approximately 6 months

Population: Efficacy population - All randomized patients with a deleterious BRCA mutation, excluding those identified to have a BRCA reversion mutation, and with a baseline value and at least one post-baseline value for the EORTC QLQ-C30 Global Health Status score during the first 6 cycles.

Overall Survival (Efficacy Population)

Overall survival (OS) is defined as the number of days from the date of randomization to the date of death (due to any cause). Patients who are still alive were censored on the date of their last available visit or last date known to be alive.

Time frame: All patients were followed for survival up to approximately 3.5 years.

Population: Efficacy Population - All randomized patients in the treatment part of study with a deleterious BRCA mutation, excluding those identified to have a BRCA reversion mutation. As noted in the Baseline Characteristics Module, 1 patient in the Chemotherapy Arm did not have a BRCA mutation (Non-BRCA) and is therefore excluded from the overall number of patients analyzed.
