Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) testing has been approved by FDA for selecting epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients who may benefit from the first-line poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) maintenance therapy. However, the effects of HRD on the clinical outcomes of first-line chemotherapy and first-line PARPi maintenance therapy have not been rigorously evaluated in Chinese EOC patients. Here, we developed an HRD assay and applied it to two large Chinese EOC patient cohorts. In the first-line adjuvant chemotherapy cohort (FACT, N = 380), HRD status significantly improved PFS (median, 15.6 months vs. 9.4 months; HR, 0.688; 95% CI, 0.526 to 0.899; P = 0.003) and OS (median, 89.5 months vs. 60.9 months; HR, 0.636; 95% CI, 0.423 to 0.955; P = 0.008). In the first-line PARPi maintenance therapy cohort (FPMT, N = 83), HRD status significantly improved PFS (median, NA vs 12 months; HR, 0.438; 95% CI, 0.201 to 0.957; P = 0.033) and OS (median, NA vs NA months; HR, 0.12; 95% CI, 0.029 to 0.505; P = 0.001). Our results demonstrate that HRD status is a significant predictor for PFS and OS in both first-line chemotherapy and first-line PARPi maintenance therapy, providing strong real-world evidence for conducting genetic testing and improving clinical recommendations for Chinese EOC patients.
