  1. Early treatment of relapsed ovarian cancer based on CA125 level alone versus delayed treatment based on conventional clinical indicators Results of the randomized MRC OV05 and EORTC 55955 trials Gordon Rustin (Mount Vernon Cancer Centre) and Maria van der Burg On behalf of all OV05 and 55955 Collaborators 31st May 2009

  2. Ovarian Cancer • 80% of patients with advanced ovarian cancer will relapse after first line chemotherapy • Most of these patients will benefit from further therapy • Serial measurement of circulating tumour markers have the potential for earlier detection of relapse • It is unclear whether patients benefit from earlier treatment of relapse

  3. Objective of Trial • To investigate the benefit of early chemotherapy for relapsed ovarian cancer, based on a raised CA125 level alone, versus delayed chemotherapy based on conventional clinical indicators

  4. Trial Design Ovarian cancer in complete remission after first-line platinum based chemotherapy and a normal CA125 REGISTER Blinded CA125 measured every 3 months CA125>2 x upper limit of normal RANDOMISED Early treatment Clinician and patient informed Delayed treatment Clinician not informed, treatment delayed until clinically indicated

  5. Inclusion criteria • Histologically confirmed epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary serous peritoneal carcinoma • In complete remission with a normal CA125 following first-line platinum based chemotherapy • Able to attend regular follow-up visits and have regular blood tests • Local laboratory able to blind CA125 results and willing to participate in an approved quality assurance scheme • Written informed consent

  6. Outcome measures and sample size • Primary outcome measure • Overall Survival • Secondary outcome measures • Time to second-line treatment • Time to third-line treatment or death • Quality of life • Sample size • To detect a 10% improvement in 2-year overall survival with early treatment (5% significance level and 85% power) We required • 345 events (deaths from all causes) • 1400 registered patients

  21. Quality of life • EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire collected every 3 months from registration and prior to each cycle of chemotherapy until the end of third-line treatment • Primary outcome measures: • Time until first Global Health related deterioration or death • Overall time with ‘good’ Global Health Score (GHS) during first two years after randomisation • ‘Good’ GHS score: improved or <10% decrease from pre-randomisation score • Global Health deterioration: >10% decrease from pre-randomisation score

  24. Conclusions • In early treatment arm based on rise in CA125 • Second-line chemotherapy started a median of 4.8 months earlier • Third-line chemotherapy started a median of 4.6 months earlier • This early treatment did not improve overall survival • HR=0.98; 95%CI=0.80, 1.20; p=0.85 • Absolute difference at 2 years 0.7% (95%CI -7.6, 4.5%) • Early chemotherapy does not improve Qol

  25. How should this trial influence practice? • Women can be reassured that • There is no benefit from early detection of relapse by routine CA125 measurements • Even if CA125 rises, chemotherapy can be delayed until signs or symptoms of tumor recurrence • Women can be offered informed choices in follow-up • No routine CA125 measurements but rapid access to CA125 testing if symptoms or signs of relapse • Regular CA125 measurements
