Drug Monographs: Olaratumab and Rucaparib

Abstract: The complexity of cancer chemotherapy requires pharmacists be familiar with the complicated regimens and highly toxic agents used. This column reviews various issues related to preparation, dispensing, and administration of antineoplastic therapy, and the agents, both commercially available and investigational, used to treat malignant diseases. Questions or suggestions for topics should be addressed to Dominic A. Solimando, Jr, President, Oncology Pharmacy Services, Inc., 4201 Wilson Blvd #110-545, Arlington, … Show more

“…Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is increasingly attractive as an anticancer therapeutic target in both preclinical studies and clinical trials. Many PARP1 inhibitors have been approved for treatment of human malignancies or under clinical investigation, such as olaparib (AZD2281), veliparib (ABT-888), and rucaparib (AG-014699, PF-01367338), for treatment of ovarian cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and unspecified solid tumors [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. PARP1 has an essential role in cell proliferation, survival, and death, due to its effects on regulation of multiple biological processes [ 4 , 5 ].…”

“…The catalytic part contains WGR (tryptophan, glycine, and arginine rich) domain, helical domain (HD), and ADP-ribosyl transferase (ART) domain rucaparib, and veliparib are already approved for the treatment of certain cancers. [34][35][36] Some PARP inhibitors and their clinical status are described in Table 2. [37][38][39][40][41][42] BRCA deficient cancer cells which lack homologous recombination are sensitive towards PARP-1 inhibitors due to PARP-1 involvement in DNA damage detection and repair.…”

“…We also found excessive expression of PARP‐1 in HeLa cells (cervical cancer), A549 cells, H1299 cells (lung cancer) and HCT116 cells (colon cancer) (unpublished data). PARP‐1 inhibitors like olaparib, rucaparib, and veliparib are already approved for the treatment of certain cancers 34–36 . Some PARP inhibitors and their clinical status are described in Table 2 37–42 .…”
