OlympiAD: No statistically significant boost in OS with olaparib in HER2-negative mBC


 

FROM THE AACR ANNUAL MEETING


At the final OS analysis with 192 deaths, HR for OS in the olaparib vs TPC group was 0.90 (95% CI, 0.66-1.23; P = .513), reported Dr. Robson of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York.

“The preplanned subgroup analyses according to the stratification factors were not powered to detect survival advantages, and were considered only hypothesis generating,” he said.

In patients who had not received chemotherapy in the metastatic setting, there was a median difference in OS of 7.9 months with olaparib (HR 0.51, 95% CI, 0.29-0.90; nominal P = .02; median 22.6 vs. 14.7 months).

Median follow-up for OS was 18.9 months for olaparib vs. 15.5 months in the TPC group.

No differences were observed between patients that were ER and/or PgR positive vs. TNBC, or whether patients received prior platinum, Dr. Robson said.

Grade 3 adverse events were similar to those in the primary analysis with no cumulative toxicity with extended exposure, he said.
