    Background To characterize the safety, immunogenicity, and outcomes of patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) in second or greater remission treated with a polyvalent antigen-KLH plus OPT-821 vaccine construct and bevacizumab. Methods Patients with recurrent HGSOC were treated with the vaccine plus bevacizumab at our institution from 01/05/2011 to 03/20/2012. Follow-up continued until 03/2021. Blood/urine samples were collected. “Responders” had an immunogenic response to ≥ 3 antigens; “non-responders” to ≤ 2 antigens. Results Twenty-one patients were treated on study. One developed a dose-limiting toxicity (grade 4 fever). Two (10%) experienced bevacizumab-related grade 3 hypertension. Thirteen (68%) and 16 (84%) of 19 responded to ≥ 3 and ≥ 2 antigens, respectively (Globo-H, GM2, TF cluster Tn, MUC-1). Four of 21 patients were alive > 5 years post-treatment. Responders and non-responders had a median PFS of 4.9 months (95% CI: 2.8–8.1) and 5.0 months (95% CI: 0.7-cannot estimate), respectively; median OS was 30.7 months (95% CI: 16.9–52.0) and 34.2 months (95% CI: 12.8-cannot estimate), respectively. On two-timepoint analysis (baseline, week 17), increased IL-8 exhibited improved PFS (HR as 10-unit increase, 0.43; p  = 0.04); increased PDGF exhibited worse OS (HR as 10-unit increase, 1.01; p  = 0.02). Conclusions This is the longest follow-up of vaccine administration with bevacizumab in patients with ovarian cancer. The vaccine was well tolerated with bevacizumab. Response was not associated with improved survival. On two-timepoint analysis, increased IL-8 was associated with significant improvement in PFS; increased PDGF with significantly worse OS. For all timepoint measurements, cytokine levels were not significantly associated with survival. Trial registration NCT01223235.
