Pembrolizumab plus olaparib improves PFS in BRCA-non-mutated ovarian cancer

This phase 3 trial (KEYLYNK-001) tested pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy followed by pembrolizumab-olaparib maintenance versus chemotherapy alone as first-line treatment for advanced BRCA1/2 non-mutated epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. The trial reported that pembrolizumab-olaparib significantly improved progression-free survival versus control at both interim and final analysis, in both the PD-L1 CPS 10 or higher and intention-to-treat populations, while pembrolizumab alone did not significantly improve progression-free survival versus control. The trial also reported higher rates of grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events and serious adverse events, including treatment-related deaths, in the pembrolizumab-olaparib and pembrolizumab groups compared with control.

Most relevant for: Patients with newly diagnosed stage III-IV BRCA non-mutated epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer being considered for first-line treatment.
