Abstract

A 5-year follow-up of patients in the ongoing SOLO1 trial showed that patients with advanced BRCA-mutated ovarian cancer who had finished platinum-based chemotherapy had a significantly longer median progression-free survival when they received 2 years of olaparib as a maintenance therapy instead of placebo-56 months versus 13.8 months, respectively.
