Aim: To evaluate real-world data on treatment patterns in Argentina and Brazil in patients with ovarian cancer. Methods: This study evaluated de-identified antineoplastic exposure data from a private healthcare provider in Argentina and health claims database (Orizon) in Brazil from 2010 to 2019 and 2015 to 2020, respectively. Results: Platinum-based chemotherapy was the most common first-line therapy (Argentina: n =311 [87.6%]; Brazil: n = 1142 [79.3%]). The proportion of patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy declined across both populations from first- to second-line, while use of non-platinum-based, targeted, and hormone therapies increased. Duration of platinum-based treatment and time to next treatment decreased from first- to fourth-line. Conclusion: There is an unmet need for effective therapies that can prolong time to next treatment in ovarian cancer in Argentina and Brazil.
