Real-world post-2020 first-line maintenance treatment patterns in patients with advanced ovarian cancer in the US

To describe first-line maintenance (1LM) treatment patterns since 1 January 2020, for real-world patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer (aOC). This retrospective study used a US-nationwide electronic health record-derived deidentified database. Eligible patients were aged ≥ 18 years with stage III/IV epithelial OC and initiated first-line platinum-based chemotherapy±bevacizumab (index; 01Jan2020-28Feb2023). Baseline characteristics and 1LM treatment patterns were summarized overall and by Among 599 eligible patients (median [interquartile range] age, 67 [59-74] years; 59.8% White; 50.3% stage III disease), 15.5% had Fewer than half of included patients with aOC received 1LM treatment in the real-world setting. More work is needed to understand reasons underlying real-world 1LM treatment choice for patients with aOC.
