Abstract
5545 Background: Inhibition of COX-2 reduces the growth rate of tumors in vitro and COX-2 is over-expressed in ovarian cancer, so a COX-2 inhibitor might be beneficial. Methods: After debulking surgery patients (pts) with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (FIGO IC-IV) received docetaxel 75 mg/m2 and carboplatin AUC=5 (CT) for 6–9 cycles q 3-wks and were randomized to celecoxib 400 mg BID (COX) for max three years or to control (CTR), stratified for residual tumor present in 58% vs 54%. Response rates and progression-free survival were based on CA-125 levels according to Rustin. Primary endpoints were biochemical CR (bCR)and safety, secondary progression free- (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: 183 of 201 pts enrolled were analyzed and baseline characteristics were well balanced between COX (n = 91) and control (CTR) arms (n = 93). Safety: Docetaxel and carboplatin was given full dose in 89% vs 84% pts and creatinine clearance remained stable vs baseline in both arms (96% vs 97% at Cycle 6). Toxicity grade 3–4 (COX vs CTR) was neutropenia in 26 vs 32, febrile neutropenia 12 vs 12, N/V 6 vs 5, allergy 7 vs 0 pts. Neurosensory grade 2–3 was less in COX (4 vs 13 pts, p< 0.05). Efficacy: Median duration of COX treatment was 6 months and 60% completed the combination with six or more cycles of CT. At a median follow-up of 20 months, CA-125 normalized (bCR) in COX 55/74 (74%) and CTR 49/74 (66%) pts with elevated baseline levels (n.s.). Median PFS was 17.4 vs 14.5 months (n.s.) and median survival 34.2 vs 34.7 months (n.s.). Conclusions: Celecoxib added to docetaxel/carboplatin in epithelial ovarian cancer had no effect on creatinine clearance, CA-125 response, PFS or OS. Celecoxib during CT was associated with allergic skin reactions but less neurotoxicity. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
