Abstract CT562: PARTNER: Randomised, phase II/III trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the addition of Olaparib to Platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple negative and/or germline BRCA mutated breast cancer patients
Abstract:Background: Triple Negative Breast Cancers (TNBC) are a biologically diverse and aggressive subgroup lacking targeted therapy. TNBC and Germline BRCA (gBRCA) breast cancer share certain phenotypic and molecular similarities, with gBRCA mutations seen in 10% to 20% of TNBC patients. Homologous recombination deficient tumours, especially those caused by germline or somatic BRCA mutations, are thought to be particularly sensitive to PARP inhibitors.
Aim: To establish if the addition of Olaparib to … Show more
