Primary PFS data cut-off: 17 May 2018.
*Analysis was performed after 198 progression events had occurred (in 50.6% of patients).
†’Not reached’ reflects persistent PFS in this treatment arm.

Patients receiving Lynparza presented a 67% reduction in risk of disease progression compared with placebo4

Follow-up PFS data cut-off: 5 March 2020. 5-year PFS follow-up data was a post hoc analysis and was not pre-specified and therefore not statistically significant.

*13 patients, all in the Lynparza arm, continued study treatment past 2 years.

 

More than 2/3 patients treated with Lynparza were alive at 7 years vs less than half of patients on placebo (significance not reached)2

7-year descriptive OS data cut-off: 7 March 2022. Median duration of follow-up approximately 88 months.

*Two-sided P value of <0.0001 required to declare statistical significance.

† ‘Not reached’ reflects persistent OS in this treatment arm.

*Data are shown for treatment-emergent AEs that occurred in at least 10.0% of patients in either treatment group during study treatment or up to 30 days after discontinuation of study treatment.
†Includes patients with anaemia or decreased haemoglobin.
‡Includes patients with neutropenia, febrile neutropenia or decreased neutrophil count.
§Includes patients with thrombocytopenia or decreased platelet count.

Lynparza tablets therapeutic indications1

Lynparza tablets are indicated as
monotherapy for:

  • The maintenance treatment of adult patients with advanced (FIGO stages III and IV) BRCA1/2-mutated (germline and/or somatic) high-grade epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who are in response (complete or partial) following completion of first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.
  • The maintenance treatment of adult patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed high-grade epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in response (complete or partial) to platinum-based chemotherapy.

Lynparza in combination with bevacizumab
is indicated for:

  • The maintenance treatment of adult patients with advanced (FIGO stages III and IV) high-grade epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who are in response (complete or partial) following completion of first-line platinum-based chemotherapy in combination with bevacizumab and whose cancer is associated with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) positive status defined by either a BRCA1/2 mutation and/or genomic instability.

Please consult the SmPC for further information before making any prescribing decisions.
