OBJECTIVE: To assess patient-reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with ovarian cancer (OC) who received niraparib as first-line maintenance therapy. METHODS: PRIMA/ENGOT-OV26/GOG-3012 (NCT02655016) enrolled patients with newly diagnosed advanced OC who responded to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients were randomized (2:1) to niraparib or placebo once daily in 28-day cycles until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or death...

Esophageal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths globally with an incidence that is concentrated in specific hot spots in Eastern Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Africa, and South America. 10-year overall survival for patients treated with standard of care chemoradiation followed by surgical resection is below 40% highlighting the need for novel therapeutics to treat this disease. We assessed the effect of AMXI-5001, a novel small molecule poly ADP-Ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor and microtubule polymerization inhibitor on tumor growth inhibition in both in-vitro and in-vivo murine models...

Introduction: Cannabis sativa is utilized mainly for palliative care worldwide. Ovarian cancer (OC) is a lethal gynecologic cancer. A particular cannabis extract fraction ('F7') and the Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase 1 (PARP1) inhibitor niraparib act synergistically to promote OC cell apoptosis. Here we identified genetic pathways that are altered by the synergistic treatment in OC cell lines Caov3 and OVCAR3. Materials and methods: Gene expression profiles were determined by RNA sequencing and quantitative PCR...

ATR is a key kinase in the DNA-damage response (DDR) that is synthetic lethal with several other DDR proteins, making it an attractive target for the treatment of genetically selected solid tumors. Herein we describe the discovery of a novel ATR inhibitor guided by a pharmacophore model to position a key hydrogen bond. Optimization was driven by potency and selectivity over the related kinase mTOR, resulting in the identification of camonsertib (RP-3500) with high potency and excellent ADME properties. Preclinical evaluation focused on the impact of camonsertib on myelosuppression, and an exploration of intermittent dosing schedules to allow recovery of the erythroid compartment and mitigate anemia...

BACKGROUND: Niraparib plays a crucial role in the treatment of ovarian cancer. A comprehensive understanding of the incidence and risk of hypertension associated with niraparib would be of vital importance to healthcare practitioners. METHODS: In this study, an observational, retrospective, pharmacovigilance study was conducted based on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. Cases of hypertension related to niraparib were extracted for disproportionality analysis from the first quarter (Q1) of 2017 to Q1 of 2023...

Genome instability is key for tumor heterogeneity and derives from defects in cell division and DNA damage repair. Tumors show tolerance for this characteristic, but its accumulation is regulated somehow to avoid catastrophic chromosomal alterations and cell death. Claudin-4 is upregulated and closely associated with genome instability and worse patient outcome in ovarian cancer. This protein is commonly described as a junctional protein participating in processes such as cell proliferation and DNA repair. However, its biological association with genomic instability is still poorly-understood...

BACKGROUND: This phase 1b study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03695380) evaluated regimens combining PARP and MEK inhibition, with or without PD-L1 inhibition, for BRCA wild-type, platinum-sensitive, recurrent ovarian cancer (PSROC). METHODS: Patients with PSROC who had received one or two prior treatment lines were treated with 28-day cycles of cobimetinib 60 mg daily (days 1-21) plus niraparib 200 mg daily (days 1-28) with or without atezolizumab 840 mg (days 1 and 15)...

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) represent an option in selected cases of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The aim of the present systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of approved (Olaparib, Rucaparib) and investigational (Talazoparib, Niraparib, Veliparib) PARPi in mCRPC patients. Three databases were queried for studies analyzing oncological outcomes and adverse events of mCRPC patients receiving PARPi. Primary outcome was a PSA decline ≥ 50% from baseline...

OBJECTIVE: PARP (poly adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose polymerase) inhibitors are approved as maintenance therapy in platinum sensitive ovarian cancer (OC), in first line and in the recurrent setting, regardless of BRCA mutational status. Real-world data after the introduction of these agents are needed to evaluate whether the benefit observed in phase III randomized clinical trials can be translated into clinical practice. The aim of our study was to provide real-life data on efficacy and safety of niraparib administered as maintenance in platinum sensitive relapsed OC patients (PSROC)...

BACKGROUND: Arterial hypertension has been recently reported from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi). OBJECTIVE: In a context of increasing use of PARPi, it is crucial to properly assess risk and incidence of this adverse event for clinical practice. METHODS: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis in MEDLINE, Cochrane CENTRAL and ClinicalTrials.gov up to January 4, 2023 with an ongoing surveillance up to June 7, 2023...

WHAT IS THIS SUMMARY ABOUT?: This document provides a summary of results from the article that evaluated the safety and efficacy of the fixed and individualized starting doses of niraparib in the PRIMA study. The original article was published in the journal Cancer in March 2023. The PRIMA study included adult patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer who had finished treatment with chemotherapy and surgery. Once patients entered the study, they were treated with an oral (by mouth) medication called niraparib or placebo (substance with no effects that a doctor gives to a patient instead of a drug)...

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are highly malignant tumors with limited treatment options owing to their heterogeneity and resistance to conventional therapies. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) have shown potential for STS treatment, with PDT being effective for sarcomas located on the extremities and body surface and PARPi targeting defects in homologous recombination repair. To address the limitations of PDT and harness the potential of PARPi, herein, a novel therapeutic approach for STS treatment combining nanocapsules bearing integrated metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), i...

BACKGROUND: Poly(adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) treatment for ovarian cancer (OC) are ever-changing. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and overall safety of available PARPi as maintenance therapy for BRCA mutation status in patients with newly diagnosed and platinum-sensitive recurrent (PSR) OC patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Relevant RCTs were systematically retrieved from PubMed and Embase until 31 May 2022. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) based on BRCA mutation status and adverse events (AEs) regardless of mutation were efficacy and safety endpoints...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the fifth cause of cancer death among women, and 70-80% of patients relapse within 2 years from the last cycle of first-line chemotherapy despite a complete response to chemotherapy and optimal debulking surgery. In this context, the goal of the maintenance treatment strategy is to prolong the time to recurrence. The recent development of targeted molecular therapies resulted in a broader spectrum of maintenance therapeutic options with consequent higher clinical benefit but less toxicity...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the association between industry payments to physicians related to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) and physicians' prescribing behaviors for PARPis. METHODS: This panel-data analysis used the publicly accessible Open Payments Database and Medicare Part D database between 2017 and 2021. All physicians who reported >10 claims for either olaparib, rucaparib, or niraparib were included in this study. Non-research payments for the PARPis to the physicians from the PARPi manufacturers were extracted from the Open Payments Database...

Currently available PARP inhibitors are mainly used for the treatment of BRCA-mutated triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), with a narrow application range of approximately 15% of patients. Recent studies have shown that EZH2 inhibitors have an obvious effect on breast cancer xenograft models and can promote the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to PARP inhibitors. Here, a series of new dual-target PARP1/EZH2 inhibitors for wild-BRCA type TNBC were designed and synthesized. SAR studies helped us identify compound 12e, encoded KWLX-12e, with good inhibitory activity against PARP1 (IC50  = 6...
