  15. Conclusions • PFS, was significantly improved with bevacizumab • OS HR was 0.85 (95% CI 0.66‒1.08) (ITT population) • Median OS: 16.6 months (BEV + CT) vs 13.3 months (CT) • Interpretation of OS is complicated by bevacizumab crossover (40%) and the lack of information on post-progression therapy • Exploratory subgroup analyses suggested: • Generally consistent effects on OS • More pronounced OS treatment effect in the weekly paclitaxel subgroup

  33. Bottom Line… • Anti-angiogenesis agents in ovarian cancer • PFS appears to be enhanced by biological targeting • The menu of available agents is expanding • Toxicity and impact of therapy is needed to adjudicate use • Intervention is extending post treatment life expectancy • Better and selected therapy is needed for OS

  34. Today’s Focus • New therapeutics update • Angiogenesis targeting • FR-alpha targeting • Rare ovarian tumors

  36. Folate Receptor Expression

  37. Utilizing the Folate Receptor: EC145 • Folate-Vinca conjugate • Relevant for imaging targeting and therapy

  38. EC145: Novel Folate Receptor Targeted Therapeutic • Randomized Phase II, Platinum-resistant ovarian • Prior therapy: no more than 2 priors • Regimen: • PLD 50 mg/m2 IBW q 28 days • PLD 50 mg/m2 IBW q 28 days + EC145 2.5 mg weeks 1 and 3 (cycle: 28 days) • Toxicity similar in both arms: total AEs, SAEs, TETs Naumann W, et al.

  40. Farletuzumab: Pre-Clinical Data • Humanized MoAb to FRa • Mechanism: • Blocks Lyn kinase phosphorylation • Induces cytotoxicity via ADCC & CDC • Active in xenograft model • Favorable toxicity profile in primate studies

  41. Farletuzumab Phase 2: Design Patients with EOC experiencing first platinum sensitive relapse After first remission of 6-18 months duration Evaluable disease by CA125 Asymptomatic relapse Symptomatic relapse Combination Therapy: Original Carbo/Taxane regimen Plus farletuzumab 6 cycles Single agentFarletuzumab Until progression Combination ORR Farletuzumab maintenance Rx For responders Single Agent ORR Compare lengths of first and second remissions Armstrong, et al.

  43. EOC in first relapse> 6months or < 24 months Randomize 1:1:1 6 Cycles Carboplatin & Taxane Plus: Farletuzumab 1.25 mg/kg N =300 Farletuzumab 2.5 mg/kg N=300 Placebo (Saline) N=300 Single Agent Maintenance Key Secondary Endpoint: Overall Survival Farletuzumab Phase 3 in platin-sensitive ovarian cancer first recurrence Primary endpoint: PFS (each Farletuzumab arm vs control 2 sided 0.05 level, power 95% Median PFS control group 12 months HR: 0.70, 43% improvement to 17.1 months* Primary Endpoint: Progression-Free Survival *accrual was increased from 900 to 1080 to account for non-progression based discontinuation

  46. Farletuzumab Phase 3 in platin-sensitive ovarian cancer first recurrence Overall Survival (ITT) (2013 April Update)

  47. Neither FAR dose met the study’s primary PFS endpoint in the ITT population Most commonly reported adverse events across arms were those known to be associated with the study chemotherapy agents Higher dose and exposure of FAR seems to be correlated with PFS improvement Hypotheses: CA125may inhibit the potential ADCC effect of FAR Hence, FAR in adequate dosing may have a potential effect in lower CA125 populations Farletuzumab Phase 3 in Platinum Sensitive Ovarian Cancer First Recurrence Conclusions

  48. Today’s Focus • New therapeutics update • Angiogenesis targeting • FR-alpha targeting • Rare ovarian tumors
