Poly(ADP)-Ribose Polymerase Inhibition: Frequent Durable Responses in <i>BRCA</i> Carrier Ovarian Cancer Correlating With Platinum-Free Interval
20 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Selective tumor cell cytotoxicity can be achieved through a synthetic lethal strategy using poly(ADP)-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor therapy in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers in whom tumor cells have defective homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair. Platinum-based chemotherapy responses correlate with HR DNA repair capacity. Olaparib is a potent, oral PARP inhibitor that is well tolerated, with...
