Olaparib Maintenance Therapy in Platinum-Sensitive Relapsed Ovarian Cancer. Valuable tools for building a rewarding career in health care. There is a need to identify biomarkers to select patients for this therapy. Assuming that the true hazard ratio for progression or death with olaparib versus placebo was 0.75 (corresponding to a 33% increase in the median duration of progression-free survival, from 9 to 12 months after randomization) and that the overall type 1 error was 20% (one-sided test), we calculated that the analysis would have 80% power to show a significant difference in favor of olaparib (one-sided P<0.20). hW XqZkqF#eE7Ph A"l# -Ep5yY&5w^ 7LSP Fong PC, Boss DS, Yap TA, et al. 0000036519 00000 n 0000054311 00000 n Gemcitabine plus carboplatin compared with carboplatin in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer: an intergroup trial of the AGO-OVAR, the NCIC CTG, and the EORTC GCG.
