Abstract CT158: ATHENA (GOG-3020/ENGOT-ov45): a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase III study of rucaparib + nivolumab following front-line platinum-based chemotherapy in ovarian cancer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: The poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor rucaparib has demonstrated clinical activity in patients with ovarian cancer with or without homologous recombination (HR) deficiency (HRD; eg, a BRCA mutation or high genome-wide loss of heterozygosity [LOH high]). ATHENA (NCT03522246) is evaluating rucaparib + the anti-PD-1 antibody nivolumab as maintenance treatment following front-line platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed, high-grade ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. The rationale for evaluating this combination includes the following: tumors with a deleterious BRCAmutation express novel, tumor-specific protein sequences (neoantigens), which can attract PD-L1-expressing, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes; ovarian tumors with HRD have more neoantigens relative to HR-proficient tumors and may respond preferentially to immune checkpoint inhibitors; and rucaparib combined with anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 demonstrated improved antitumor activity in a syngeneic ovarian cancer BrKras (BRCA1-/-; TP53-/-; MYC; KRAS-G12D; AKT) model. Furthermore, it is hypothesized that DNA damage induced by PARP inhibition may increase neoantigens regardless of HRD status.Methods: Eligible patients must have completed first-line platinum doublet chemotherapy and surgery. Patients had to have achieved an investigator-assessed response without disease progression or rising CA-125 at any time during first-line platinum doublet treatment. Cytoreductive surgery (R0 permitted) could have been completed either prior to chemotherapy (primary surgery) or following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (interval debulking). Patients will be randomized 4:4:1:1 to receive maintenance treatment in Arm A (oral rucaparib 600 mg BID + intravenous [IV] nivolumab 480 mg on day 1 of every 4-week cycle), Arm B (oral rucaparib + IV placebo), Arm C (oral placebo + IV nivolumab), or Arm D (oral placebo + IV placebo). Stratification factors include centrally determined tumor HRD status (BRCA mutant, non-BRCA mutant/LOH high, non-BRCA mutant/LOH low, or non-BRCA mutant/LOH indeterminate), posttreatment disease status (residual vs no residual disease), and timing of surgery (primary vs interval debulking). The primary endpoint of investigator-assessed progression-free survival (per RECIST version 1.1) will be evaluated in 3 independent comparisons between arms: A vs B, A vs D, and B vs D. Secondary endpoints include blinded independent central review of progression-free survival, overall survival, investigator-assessed objective response rate, investigator-assessed duration of response, and safety. Enrollment is ongoing; patients (n≈1000) will be enrolled at >270 sites worldwide.Citation Format: Shannon N. Westin, Rebecca S. Kristeleit, Robert L. Coleman, Keiichi Fujiwara, Amit M. Oza, David M.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
