Abstract

Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) testing has been approved by FDA for selecting epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients who may benefit from the first-line poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) maintenance therapy. However, the effects of HRD on the clinical outcomes of first-line chemotherapy and first-line PARPi maintenance therapy have not been rigorously evaluated in Chinese EOC patients. Here, we developed an HRD assay and applied it to two large retrospectively collected Chinese EOC patient cohorts. In the first-line adjuvant chemotherapy cohort (FACT, N = 380), HRD status significantly improved PFS (median, 15.6 months vs. 9.4 months; HR, 0.688; 95% CI, 0.526–0.899; P = 0.003) and OS (median, 89.5 months vs. 60.9 months; HR, 0.636; 95% CI, 0.423–0.955; P = 0.008). In the first-line PARPi maintenance therapy cohort (FPMT, N = 83), HRD status significantly improved PFS (median, NA vs. 12 months; HR, 0.438; 95% CI, 0.201–0.957; P = 0.033) and OS (median, NA vs. NA months; HR, 0.12; 95% CI, 0.029–0.505; P = 0.001). Our results demonstrate that HRD status is a significant predictor for PFS and OS in both first-line chemotherapy and first-line PARPi maintenance therapy, providing strong real-world evidence for conducting genetic testing and improving clinical recommendations for Chinese EOC patients.
