PARP inhibitors as maintenance therapy in newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer: a meta‐analysis

Abstract: Background Up to 70% of patients with advanced ovarian cancer have a relapse after primary therapy. New agents and approaches are urgently needed to avoid or slow down this recurrence.Objectives To investigate the efficacy of PARP inhibitors (PARPis) as maintenance treatment in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer.Search strategy PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases.Selection criteria All randomised clinical trials (RCTs) that compared PARPis with placebo as f… Show more

“…Another explanation might be related to other therapeutic actions of PARPi and other functions of BRCA1 beyond DNA damage. In one recent meta-analysis studying the efficacy of PARPi in newly diagnosed ovarian cancer, a significant clinical benefit of PARPi has been obtained both in Non-BRCA mutated patients and in patients even without homologous recombination deficiency (48). In fact, besides DNA damage-induced cell death, PARP inhibitors, by inhibiting the PARP-1, can alter cellular energy metabolism and redox balance, leading to cancer cell apoptosis (49).…”

“…A recent meta-analysis of all randomized clinical trials comparing PARPis to placebo found PFS was significantly improved in the overall population of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer patients (HR 0.53; CI 0.40-0.71; p<0.0001). While the most clinical benefit was derived from tumors that were BRCA1/2 or HRD (HR 0.35; CI 0.29-0.42 p<0.00001 and HR 0.43; CI 0.32-0.60 p0.00001), there was some benefit in the HRP population (HR 0.83, CI 0.70-0.99; p=0.04) 23 .…”

“…PARPis are one of the most representative new therapies for EOC, targeting the DNA repair fragility of tumor cells. In homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) tumors, double-strand breaks cannot be accurately repaired in the presence of PARPis ( 95 ). Tumor cells are destroyed in the accumulation of unrepaired DNA damage.…”
