ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Synthetic lethality (SL) denotes a genetic interaction between two genes whose co-inactivation is detrimental to cells. Because more than 25 years have passed since SL was proposed as a promising way to selectively target cancer vulnerabilities, it is timely to comprehensively assess its impact so far and discuss its future.METHODS:
We systematically analyzed the literature and clinical trial data from the PubMed and Trialtrove databases to portray the preclinical and clinical landscape of SL oncology.FINDINGS:
We identified 235 preclinically validated SL pairs and found 1,207 pertinent clinical trials, and the number keeps increasing over time. About one-third of these SL clinical trials go beyond the typically studied DNA damage response (DDR) pathway, testifying to the recently broadening scope of SL applications in clinical oncology. We find that SL oncology trials have a greater success rate than non-SL-based trials. However, about 75% of the preclinically validated SL interactions have not yet been tested in clinical trials.CONCLUSIONS:
Dissecting the recent efforts harnessing SL to identify predictive biomarkers, novel therapeutic targets, and effective combination therapy, our systematic analysis reinforces the hope that SL may serve as a key driver of precision oncology going forward.FUNDING:
