Background: Niraparib and bevacizumab are the only FDA-approved first-line maintenance (1LM) therapies for advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) without a biomarker requirement. However, little information exists regarding the effectiveness of these treatments in the real world. Methods: We identified 89 AOC patients from the US-based deidentified Integra PrecisionQ database who received 1LM bevacizumab (n=31) or niraparib (n=58) following induction chemotherapy (CT) ± bevacizumab initiated between July 1, 2019, and March 31, 2021, and followed them until the data cut-off of March 31, 2022. Using the start of maintenance therapy as the index date, we examined patient characteristics, time to next treatment or death (TTNT; often used as a real-world proxy for progression-free survival), and overall survival (OS) for these treatment groups. Results: For patients who received 1LM bevacizumab, the median age was 69 years, 65% had Stage III cancer at index date, 84% had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0–1, and 87% received CT + bevacizumab as first-line therapy. For patients who received 1LM niraparib, the median age was 68.5 years, 66% had Stage III cancer at index date, 88% had an ECOG performance status of 0–1, and 79% received chemotherapy alone as first-line therapy. Only 1 bevacizumab (BRCAm) and 11 niraparib (4 BRCAm, 7 BRCAwt HRd) patients had known homologous recombination deficiency (HRd)-positive tumors. Patients treated with bevacizumab had a median TTNT of 4.5 months (mo) and a 12-month OS mark of 83.6%; for patients treated with niraparib, the corresponding values were 9.9 mo and 96.3%. Conclusions: Our study provides real-world outcomes data for newly diagnosed AOC patients receiving maintenance niraparib or bevacizumab following CT +/- bevacizumab. HRd testing results were only available for 19% of bevacizumab- and 40% of niraparib-treated patients, highlighting a need for greater testing in the real world. Future studies should examine which patient characteristics are associated with long-term survival for these and other treatment options to aid in the decision-making process. Funding: GSK215281.
