Oral poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor olaparib in patients with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations and advanced breast cancer

TL;DR: The results of this study provide positive proof of concept for PARP inhibition in BRCA-deficient breast cancers and shows a favourable therapeutic index for a novel targeted treatment strategy in patients with tumours that have genetic loss of function of BRCa1-associated orBRCA2-associated DNA repair.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phase II trial of the oral PARP inhibitor olaparib in BRCA-deficient advanced breast cancer

TL;DR: This first study with olaparib in BRCA-deficient breast cancers provides positive proof of concept for high activity and tolerability of a genetically defined targeted therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phase II trial of the oral PARP inhibitor olaparib (AZD2281) in BRCA-deficient advanced ovarian cancer

TL;DR: Oral olaparib is well tolerated and highly active in advanced, chemotherapy-refractory BRCA-deficient ovarian cancer, with greater activity seen at the higher dose.
Journal ArticleDOI

AZD2281 (KU-0059436), a PARP (poly ADP-ribose polymerase) inhibitor with single agent anticancer activity in patients with BRCA deficient ovarian cancer: Results from a phase I study

TL;DR: A first-in-human Phase I trial of AZD2281, a novel, potent orally active PARP inhibitor, in BRCA-deficient ovarian cancer, with dose escalation guided by toxicity, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data, finding that the maximum tolerated dose was 400mg bd.
Journal ArticleDOI

First in human phase I pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) study of KU-0059436 (Ku), a small molecule inhibitor of poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) in cancer patients (p), including BRCA1/2 mutation carriers

TL;DR: Ku is a novel, potent, orally active PARP-1 and 2 inhibitor that induces selective cytotoxicity in cells with defective homologous recombination repair such as BRCA1/2 deficient tumor cells.
