5548 Background: Advanced stage primary OCCC is associated with a poor prognosis following primary surgery and chemotherapy, but scant data exists regarding response rates (RR = RECIST PR/CR), progression free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) following treatment (rx) for ROCCC. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of pts with ROCCC treated at 2 cancer centres to evaluate RR, clinical benefit rate (CBR=PR/CR or SD with PFS ≥12wks), PFS (time from start of rx to RECIST/clinical PD) and OS (time from 1st relapse after primary rx to death) following rx, and response/ symptomatic benefit after palliative radiotherapy (PRT). Platinum (plt) resistance was defined as PD < 6mths after plt. Results: In total, 137/256 pts developed ROCCC. Recurrences by FIGO stage at diagnosis were: Stage 1A/B (15/49, 29%), Stage 1C (16/67, 24%), Stage 2 (40/62, 65%), Stage 3 (46/54, 85%), Stage 4 (20/21, 91%), p<0.0001. Pts received a median of 1 line (range = 1-6, total = 166) of rx with an overall RR of 13/142 (9%) evaluable lines of treatment. Across all rxs, median PFS was 11 wks (95% CI: 8,14) and median OS was 40 wks (95% CI: 28,52). At 1st relapse, 72/86 treated pts were evaluable for response with RR=14% (10/72), CBR=31% (22/72) and median PFS=12wks (95% CI: 9,15). At 2nd relapse, 36/42 treated pts were evaluable for response with RR=8% (3/36) and CBR=33% (12/36) and median PFS=14wks (95% CI: 8,20). No significant PFS difference was observed for plt-sensitive pts treated with plt-based or non-plt-based rx at 1st relapse (HR=1.2; 95% CI: 0.6, 2.5; p=0.57) or at any relapse (HR=0.9; 95% CI: 0.4, 1.7; p=0.65). Outcomes for all rxs are shown in the Table. 6/12 (50%) pts derived benefit following PRT. Conclusions: ROCCC is a chemoresistant disease with a short median OS of 10mths. PRT offers symptomatic benefit. More clinical trials to identify effective systemic rxs for ROCCC are urgently required. Individual rx outcomes across all lines of rx.
