PARPi and Ovarian Cancer Survival

February 17, 2025 updated by: Shanghai Gynecologic Oncology Group

Effect of PARP Inhibitors Maintenance Therapy on the Survival Rate of Advanced or Relapsed Epitherlial Ovarian Cancer: an Observational Cohort Study

With the widespread use of PARP inhibitors (PARPi) as maintenance therapy in ovarian cancer, there is still a lack of real-world data from large samples regarding their impact on survival outcomes in advanced and recurrent ovarian cancer. This study aims to conduct a pragmatic cohort study to evaluate the impact of first-line and second-line maintenance treatment with PARPi on survival rates in patients with advanced and recurrent ovarian cancer. The genetic status, different PARPi drugs, and the use of anti-angiogenic inhibitor maintenance therapy or not is used as confounding factors.
