About this study

The R0 resection rate in neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer remains below 50%, indicating unmet clinical needs. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) can induce immune microenvironment remodeling and exhibit synergistic effects with immune checkpoint inhibitors. To further evaluate the efficacy and safety of epalolide combined with torvolumab plus sunitinib and olaparib as neoadjuvant therapy in HRD-positive untreated patients with advanced ovarian cancer, a prospective, multicenter, single-arm exploratory study is proposed. This study will enroll 35 untreated HRD-positive advanced ovarian cancer patients who will receive neoadjuvant treatment with epalolide plus torvolumab combined with sunitinib and olaparib. Patients achieving CR/PR/SD after neoadjuvant therapy will undergo intermediate tumor cytoreductive surgery, followed by 6 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy and 1 year of maintenance therapy with the etoricoxib-drug combination antibody regimen. The primary endpoint is R0 resection rate, aiming to provide valuable insights into neoadjuvant treatment strategies for advanced ovarian cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

For patients with advanced ovarian cancer, tumor debulking surgery is a crucial component of treatment. However, due to poor prognosis and high recurrence rates in advanced cases, treatment poses significant challenges. The primary principle of surgical management for advanced ovarian cancer is to achieve maximal tumor resection. The core objective of surgery is to remove all macroscopically visible tumor tissue to minimize postoperative residual disease. Nevertheless, given the complexity of advanced ovarian cancer and individual patient variability, not all patients are suitable candidates for initial tumor debulking surgery. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with intermediate tumor debulking surgery serves as a therapeutic option for patients who cannot achieve satisfactory tumor reduction or are unable to tolerate surgery, and this approach is currently widely employed in clinical practice.

The traditional neoadjuvant treatment regimen for ovarian cancer involves the platinum-paclitaxel dual-drug combination. However, the complete resection rate with pure neoadjuvant chemotherapy remains below 50%, and approximately half of patients fail to achieve complete tumor removal. These patients face the risk of residual tumors postoperatively, which increases the likelihood of disease recurrence, highlighting a significant unmet clinical need. Improving neoadjuvant treatment strategies for ovarian cancer has become a current research focus. Existing studies demonstrate that combining immune checkpoint inhibitors with neoadjuvant chemotherapy can enhance the pathological complete response (pCR) rate in advanced ovarian cancer patients and induce durable clinical responses, suggesting this approach as a promising therapeutic option; however, further validation is required, and the optimal immunotherapy combination strategy requires further exploration.

Apatinib-tolilimumab (hereinafter referred to as the Ato combination antibody) is the world's first dual-functional combination antibody targeting both PD-1 and CTLA-4, capable of simultaneously inhibiting PD-1-and CTLA-4-mediated signaling pathways to exert synergistic antitumor effects with excellent tolerability. In Phase I clinical studies, the Ato combination antibody demonstrated superior safety and tolerability. Among 518 patients with advanced cancer who had failed conventional treatments, only 8.1% experienced grade 3 or higher immune-related adverse events, highlighting its significant safety advantages. In patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer, the pivotal Phase II registration study of the Ato combination antibody achieved remarkable results: an overall response rate (ORR) of 33.8% in second-line systemic therapy and a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 5.4 months. Based on these data, the Ato combination antibody was approved for marketing in China on September 30,2024, indicated for the treatment of recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer patients who had previously failed platinum-based chemotherapy.

PARP inhibitors and antiangiogenic agents can disrupt tumor growth through distinct mechanisms, with their synergistic effects mutually enhancing each other to achieve a 1+1>2 outcome. Multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) can induce remodeling of the immune microenvironment and activate the tumor immune response, not only significantly increasing T-cell infiltration into tumors but also upregulating the expression of the immune checkpoint CTLA-4, ultimately enabling tumor cells to evade T-cell attack through immune evasion. CTLA-4 blockade enhances T-cell antitumor activity and effectively reverses the inhibitory immune microenvironment. Sunitinib is a TKI currently used as standard therapy for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Studies suggest that sunitinib may play a role in tumor immune monitoring and participate in PD-L1 regulation.

In patients with previously untreated advanced ovarian cancer, the use of neoadjuvant therapy combining TKIs and PARP inhibitors with epalolide and torvocizumab has a solid scientific basis and warrants further investigation. This study innovatively employed sunitinib combined with olaparib for one cycle to induce an immune microenvironment, followed by addition of an immune checkpoint inhibitor, demonstrating synergistic effects. To further evaluate the efficacy and safety of sunitinib and olaparib combined with epalolide and torvocizumab in neoadjuvant treatment for these patients, a prospective, multicenter, single-arm exploratory study is planned to provide valuable insights for developing neoadjuvant treatment regimens for advanced ovarian cancer.
