PARP inhibitors have revolutionized ovarian cancer treatment, but recent updates to the FDA-approved indications have caused confusion and raised questions for patients. So what do these changes mean? Dr. Thomas Herzog, Deputy Director of the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center, discusses the current landscape of PARP inhibitors for ovarian cancer and what it means for you.

PARPi is
essential for BER
PARP1 contributes to and fine-tunes
HR (recruits MRE11
and NBS1 or
ribosylates BRCA)
PARP1 prevents binding of Ku
proteins to free DNA ends (first step
to start NHEJ) and thus inhibits
NHEJ
PARP1 prevents binding of Ku proteins
and directs DSBs to this alternative
end-joining (MMEJ) repair pathway

BRCA1/2 Mutation
Kaufman B et al. J Clin Oncol. 2015;33:244-250.
§ Results: A total of 298 patients received treatment and were evaluable. The
tumor response rate was 26.2% (78 of 298; 95% CI, 21.3 to 31.6) overall and
31.1% (60 of 193; 95% CI, 24.6 to 38.1), 12.9% (eight of 62; 95% CI, 5.7 to
23.9), 21.7% (five of 23; 95% CI, 7.5 to 43.7), and 50.0% (four of eight; 95%
CI, 15.7 to 84.3) in ovarian, breast, pancreatic, and prostate cancers,
respectively. Stable disease ≥ 8 weeks was observed in 42% of patients (95%
CI, 36.0 to 47.4), including 40% (95% CI, 33.4 to 47.7), 47% (95% CI, 34.0 to
59.9), 35% (95% CI, 16.4 to 57.3), and 25% (95% CI, 3.2 to 65.1) of those with
ovarian, breast, pancreatic, or prostate cancer, respectively. The most common
adverse events (AEs) were fatigue, nausea, and vomiting. Grade ≥ 3 AEs were
reported for 54% of patients; anemia was the most common (17%).
§ Conclusion: Responses to olaparib were observed across different tumor types
associated with germline BRCA1/2 mutations. Olaparib warrants further
investigation in confirmatory studies.

53. Conclusions
• Maintenance has experienced a rebirth with introduction of the PARPi’s
• Clinical efficacy has placed a premium on biomarker development &
assessment
• Combinations are being studies with: I/O’s, Anti-vascular agents & Triple bio
strategies
• Combination will require assessment of cost-effectiveness & clinical value
• PARPi’s have transformed the Front-line Ovarian landscape
• Surgery and maximal removal of disease still critical
• USA FDA concern with OS pushing PARPi use to front line
• Clinical trials are cornerstone of knowledge advancement
