Abstract

Purpose

To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of angiogenesis inhibitors for the treatment of ovarian cancer patients, we conducted a meta-analysis of the published literature on this subject.

Methods

In this meta-analysis, we searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The literature search was performed up to August 12, 2019. The risk of bias of the included studies was evaluated using The Cochrane Collaboration's tool, and the statistical analyses were performed using RevMan 5.3 software. The sensitivity analysis was performed with Stata 12.0 software.

Results

22 RCTs with 11,254 patients were included. Our meta-analysis demonstrates that angiogenesis inhibitors therapy can significantly improve progression-free survival (PFS) (hazard ratio [HR] 0.71, 95% CI 0.63–0.79, I2 = 80%, P < 0.00001) and overall survival (OS) (HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.90–0.99, I2 = 0%, P = 0.03) in ovarian cancer patients. The subgroups results suggest differences in the benefit in OS in first-line treatment (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.93–1.08, I2 = 0%, P = 0.90) compared with treatment at relapse (HR 0.87, 95% CI 0.81–0.95, I2 = 0%, P = 0.0008). The PFS improved both in first-line treatment (HR 0.87, 95% CI 0.79–0.95, I2 = 60%, P = 0.003) and recurrent treatment (HR 0.60, 95% CI 0.53–0.67, I2 = 57% P < 0.0001) patients. The PFS and OS in recurrent group were prolonged both in the platinum-resistant group(PFS: HR 0.50, 95% CI 0.42–0.60, I2 = 0%, P < 0.00001; OS: HR 0.76, 95% CI 0.62–0.93, I2 = 0%, P = 0.007) and the platinum-sensitive group (PFS: HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.49–0.69, I2 = 64%, P < 0.00001; OS: HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.79–0.99, I2 = 0%, P = 0.03). However, this therapy is associated with a higher risk of common adverse events of grade ≥ 3 (risk ratio [RR]: 1.12; 95% CI 1.07–1.17; I2 = 0%, P = 0.68) such as arterial thromboembolic disease, ascites, diarrhea, gastrointestinal perforations, headache, hemorrhagic, hypertension, hypokalemia, leucopenia, pain, proteinuria, thrombocytopenia, and thrombosis or embolism.

Conclusion

This meta-analysis suggests angiogenesis inhibitors may significantly improve PFS and OS of ovarian cancer patients and increase the incidence of common adverse events.
