- identify resistance mechanism after PARPi [ Time Frame: every 3 months interval until progression based on clinical surveillance (which usually ranges from 6 months to 2 years) ]
Investigators will utilize baseline and post-progression samples to identify PARP resistance mechanism for each patient. For patients without baseline blood sample prior to PARP inhibitor usage, tumor Next Generation Sequencing results will be utilized. After identification of newly acquired mutations after PARP inhibitor use, these genes then will be classified into resistance mechanism category.
Patients will undergo standard clinical surveillance, which will be based on serum CA125 and radiological assessment every 3 months interval; whole blood for ctDNA will also be collected at every 3 months interval. Upon progression based on clinical surveillance (which usually ranges from 6 months to 2 years), the corresponding whole blood-based ctDNA sample can be used as post-progression sample. The post-progression sample can then be compared with the baseline sample to inform PARP resistance mechanism.
- Identify pre-existing genomic profiles that may predict response to PARPi [ Time Frame: every 3 months interval until progression based on clinical surveillance (which usually ranges from 6 months to 2 years) ]Investigators will utilize baseline blood samples to identify pre-existing genomic profiles that may predict response to PARPi. Post progression blood samples will be used to identify post-specific mechanisms that may predict response to subsequent therapy.
- Identify post-progression resistance mechanisms that may predict response to subsequent therapy [ Time Frame: every 3 months interval until progression based on clinical surveillance (which usually ranges from 6 months to 2 years) ]
Investigators will utilize baseline blood samples to identify pre-existing genomic profiles that may predict response to PARPi. Post progression blood samples will be used to identify post-specific mechanisms that may predict response to subsequent therapy.
Time frame for measurement of secondary outcome will be the same as the time frame for primary outcome. Clinical profiles such as progression-free survival with respect to PARPi, progression-free survival to post-progression subsequent therapy, and overall survival will be utilized.
