Poly ADP-ribose Polymerases (PARP) inhibitors are an important new treatment option in the management of metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer. The main mechanism of action is by inducing synthetic lethality in cells with underlying deficiencies in homologous recombination repair (HRR) of DNA. Response rates are highest in men with germline or somatic BRCA 1/2 mutations. Examples of PARP inhibitors include olaparib, rucaparib, niraparib and talazoparib. Rucarib and nirapirib are limited to those with pathogenic variants in BRCA 1/2, while olaparib and talazoprarib may be used in patients with several genes showing HRR deficiency.

摘要

Poly ADP-ribose Polymerases (PARP) inhibitors are an important new treatment option in the management of metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer. The main mechanism of action is by inducing synthetic lethality in cells with underlying deficiencies in homologous recombination repair (HRR) of DNA. Response rates are highest in men with germline or somatic BRCA 1/2 mutations. Examples of PARP inhibitors include olaparib, rucaparib, niraparib and talazoparib. Rucarib and nirapirib are limited to those with pathogenic variants in BRCA 1/2, while olaparib and talazoprarib may be used in patients with several genes showing HRR deficiency.
